Oh come on now. Think a little. What is hexbear all about? LGBT and Communism. Now, guess which two things Putin heads the most? Do you really think that we have money to fund people LARPing as gay commies, on an isolated instance, in an obscure social network, in a country that’s already extremely short on cash because of war? Get your head out the arse.

Btw its the CCP, moron. Did you think they honestly worship Xi Jinping because hes that charismatic?
Liking leaders because of their policies and not because of who has more rizz is just completely unheard of for you is it?
Stuff like becoming “General Secretary” for life, concentration camps for Uighurs, hostility with Taiwan, India, and Indonesia, takeover of Hong Kong, and Document 9 of 2013?
You like how LGBT aren’t allowed to marry or adopt? You like that China are a corrupt capitalist oligarchy run by a militaristic dictatorship hand in hand with Billionaires because they at least claim to be communist?
The only place you can find tens or hundreds of people singing the praises of an actual living dictator is in a place they own.
Sounds like xi is the lesser evil compared to the US presidents then… but most of what you said is untrue.
Oh, so you’re saying you fantasize about Xi because of the great policy of…
Not being somebody else in a different country on the opposite side of the earth?
