We live in your head rent free huh.
And no, our ideas aren't simply "x is bad", without violent resistance we'd have slavery, white women would be chained to the kitchen, workers would have never got a 40h work week, etc. We don't have a consensus on Russia and many will defend it harder because it's funny to piss off people like you, but Russia is nowhere near as bad as the US, and we wouldn't have modern Russia if it weren't for the US as well.
Look at the numbers of people killed just by western sanctions alone, it's over half a million a year. The US has removed democratically elected leaders too many times, like Salvador Allende in Chile or even Mosaddegh. They're starving Cuba RIGHT NOW. But I guess unless mainstream media tells you our lives matter you just don't care.
So yeah, slander us all you want, but we're nothing if not ideologically consistent.
We can play this game forever, my point is that I don't believe you really care about our lives in the global south, considering you seem to ignore that the vast majority of conflicts involving Russia wouldn't have manifested without western imperialism. We lose people all the time through sanctions and regime changes and IMF imposed austerity. We don't celebrate Ukrainian civilians dying, the war that common Ukrainians no longer want to fight won't end as long as the west refuses a deal.
You're losing and you know it
