Yeah, I scroll smugideologyman on reddit sometimes and see that.
On some irish subreddits I see people calling our president a tankie for things like saying that sanctions on syria aren’t helping the situation there, or condemning kneecap for not speaking against the cuban government when they visited the island.
Case in point,
I love kneecap btw.
Don’t care for their music, but they’re beyond based humans and I sincerely wish them the best.
History will remember them fondly.
