    Yeah, you’re a bit late to the party of telling me that it’s all about defending the country. “Young and inexperienced in geopolitics” is also a bit of an assumption and just a character assessment rather than a response to my point. It’s a bit hard to look past what is essentially an insult and a dismissal.

    Also, you spend a lot of time explaining that the USSR was just like everyone else in their lack of LGBT acceptance. Yes, I know. Conservative. Like I said. And obviously they were ahead in terms of worker’s rights. Socialism, yknow? I never stated that the USSR was entirely conservative, just that they had some conservative elements, and used LGBT non-acceptance as an example of that conservatism.

    This is starting to devolve into nothing more than a fight, and it’s stressing me out, so I’d rather not continue and just accept that you were right about their acceptance of Putin.
