There’s also the bizarre phenomena of “leftist” people who support Russia, Iran, etc.

I was on a date once (gay) and he would shit-talk the US, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, etc. for being capitalistic. Then in the same breath, talk about how he wanted to go to Iran and Russia.

I honestly didn’t know what to say.

Lol, wanting to go to a country that is happy to persecute you for who you are… That’s warped.

Yeah it seems to be a series of fallacies like,

Conservatives hate gays, so conservatives are bad. Conservatives love capitalism, so capitalism is bad. The west is mostly capitalistic, so I hate the west. The west sanction Iran and Russia, so they must be good.

I think it’s better to draw the line at hating controlling abusive people, rather than geopolitical boundaries.
