I can't believe I missed this thread, makes me sad, would've loved to participate.

Either way, the Russian Federation does not meet Lenin's definition of imperialism, and as it exists in the real world, its ties to socialist countries like the PRC and its opposition to western hegemony means we critically support it. In many ways it's deeply socially reactionary, but at the same time it does not have the massive financial capital nor the subjects necessary for imperialism, so though it's a nationalist bourgeois nation it is materially incentivized to oppose the current greatest contradiction in the global task of building socialism, imperialism.

Though, as a caveat, this is the general stance. Many people have differing views here, and unless you repeat thoroughly liberal lines your views are tolerated even if they go against the grain.

It's a place where people go "Oh ho ho I am Russian!"

We at hexbear are of hivemind. We are borg. We assimilate.

I am of the opinion that it is a country

Russia has bears. Bears eat beats. Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.

Kinda underpowered in the early game, you have to be smart about the way you climb the tech tree and get the cavalry units unlocked early in order to survive to the late game. One of the more challenging factions imho.

Russia is a land of contrast.

Kinda cold

The USSR was better.

I support Dengism.

Set your watch to Moscow time

Extremely critical support to Russia in thier war against NATO/US Imperialism. Were it not for the "West's" pathological hatred of Russia, the libs in charge of Russia would happily be members of the "international rules based order". Instead the US forced them into war, which they are winning, despite thier best efforts at times to lose, mostly thanks to the legacy of the USSR. And any defeat of the US is good for the world.

Here's some advice for you Wisconscom, if you want to try and actively wreck things at hexbear, make an account and lay low for a while. Just make jokes, and casual conversation, don't treat everyone as an enemy, ingratiate yourself into the community. Don't start with big, obvious bullshit that gets spotted a mile away. You clearly have no respect for your enemies, and as such, they are able to run rings around you, because you consider yourself too intelligent to ever be beaten by them. This is probably the biggest blunder a person can make. Respect your enemies, understand them, work out their strengths and weaknesses, and don't consider yourself "above" them or "superior" to them, because that is how you underestimate them and in turn, make mistakes that you wouldn't otherwise.

Try and really commit yourself to more long term planning on this, seek to understand hexbear well enough that you can fly under the radar for months, and even work on making yourself popular within the community, so when you have things to say, people will listen, and when you seek to cause splits and divisions, it will actually have some effect. Also, it would be a good idea to keep track of everything you say on such an account, so you can appear externally consistent, if you keep contradicting yourself, or keep accidentally revealing information about yourself that ruins your scheme, it'll obviously never work.

Keep going and work hard, and one day you'll finally destroy this den of revisionist rats!

capitalism: bad

opposing western hegemony: good

queermisia: bad (but liberals in glass countries shouldn't throw stones)

I'll go by parts, I hope this is helpful to you.

BRICS, Imperialim, economy:

BRICS is a bunch of worthless nationalist garbage grifters. There are strong arguments to be made BRICS serves as nothing but the interests of sub-imperialism for the national capitalist class i.e major regional powers that are more concerned with securing their stake and dominance in their sphere of influence rather than making any concrete let alone principled stance against western imperialism. The actions of India, Brazil, South Africa speak for themselves. Even when directly opposed by the west these countries still seek cooperation(e.g Brazil tried to veto Cuba into BRICS, SA-China collaborate with Israel, India-Russia are nationalist fascists etc...)

Russian internal economic policy during the has shown they have no long term desire to move away from the neoliberal capitalist consensus. The war economy didn't lead to any social economic shift, there is no path towards government ownership and to socialism. The Russian Central Bank continues supreme, enacting the same policies as their western enemies. Its true the war gave a huge boost to the economy, it was a giant gift by the west, both unemployment and wages are down, more investment etc. But this is not turning into a path towards anything. You can read more e.g MR's blog.

Ukraine:

There is a lot you can and should research about this for a deeper understanding, you can start with this. Its Washington Post 2021

Everyone except Gov controlled regions want to side with Russia

The majority blames either Ukraine or Ukraine-Russia equaly. Additionaly a sizeable part understands the NATO-US role too. The Russia is solely to blame narrative is a tiny minority overall.

There are a dozen more articles from 2014 detailing the nazi training etc, I wont link them all, just look yourself

Russia was right to invade Ukraine as a last resort to the 2014-2022 Donbass crisis. If might makes right it certainly didn't happen before at least 2 failed negotiation attempts and thousands of civilians being murdered by Nazis with no liberal-western actualy giving a shit.

Will Russia annex the new legal territories? Probably and justifiably. The population there literaly already tried to move away from Ukraine, its literaly separatists, they literaly hate Azov and the western Ukrainian nazis. If a Russian flag is the only thing that saves them then who is anyone to complain? Oh no my wholesome BRICS country can't do anything that embarrasses me? Why because the wholesome UN opposes it? Even China supported Russia's side so did Cuba, Vietnam etc.

Innocent Ukrainians suffer? Yeah but its a country that fostered Nazism and couldn't stand against it nor western influence. Zelensky was elected on a platform for peace and conciliation with Russia. It sucks to suck but anyone who wants to support "Ukraine" should at least recognize the west-US is even more responsible for this outcome. Peace in Ukraine starts with the US getting the fuck out of it.

The resistance, DPRK:

Russia's participation in the context of BRICS and the "axis of resistence" has been a complete and utter disappointment at best, our hopes certainly didn't amount to anything substantial. Syria and Iran are blamed on Assad incompetence and "Iran didn't ask for help" or some nonsense. Its not the global south powers that are ever responsible for anything, but the local governments when they inevitably fail. Russia-China do nothing but play both sides for years, decades even, though at least Russia gives more material support to Iran they also have a positive history with Israel, the geopolitical dispute is not necessarily ideological. Check for yourself.

As for the DPRK alliance, it arises out of pragmatism because quite honestly, China is completely worthless stand for nothing idiots. If the US bombs the DPRK, China would likely just send a strong worded letter to the UN. So unfortunately they have no choice but to pick the only country that is actually willing to fight the west. The DPRK leveraged aid in Ukraine since the DPRK is actualy based and doesn't give a fuck about western opinion, they'll gladly pick a side.

The DPRK was correct in doing whatever its necessary to protect themselves from US aggression. Russia is lucky to be able to exploit this. Its not deeper than an alliance out of convenience.

I'm only slightly gay

Hell yeah, got the tagline:

Russia is a large country full of Russians
