My best guess would be people who had to grow up in the shithole that was the Soviet Union telling their kids exactly how loving bad it was, and this being conflated into a general 'anything remotely leftist will ruin your country and kill millions' by post-Soviet governments. It's a misguided reaction to actual lovely things that happened, and being used as a bludgeon by autocrats like Putin against opposition.

Combine it with religious groups swinging back into power and you end up with 'kill the gay muslim commies before they take are jobs'

So is RDN the good guy or the bad guy here?

he is the politician, so he's in a state of superentangled good-badness until we collapse the wave function (by destroying capitalism)

Apparently I'm allowed to wear non standard uniform for Australia Day week. Anyone know any work appropriate shirts that show solidarity with Indigenous Australians that I could get in the next few days?
