Strange mix of messages by the Center for Political Innovation: interestingly anti-capitalist, but all-out Putinists, judged by thr website
brianglass10
Ok, what associates this picture with Texas?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They don't even realize that isn't the russian flag anymore. R. is a capitalist oligarchy now, not communist in any way.
daianaaaa
So they are afraid of socialists and communists AND fly the Soviet flag? Man the mental gymnastics here are amazing
CraigJ88
If Biden had said he stands with Russia those Texans would be flying Ukrainian flags.

As an American born in the USSR: идите в пизду, паршивые хуесосы

They spend their life time saying commies are bad they shouldn't exist, look at them now
MollyInanna
Google "Center for Political Innovation", the name on the backdrop.
rhodysailor
what really blows my mind is that these are the people that accuse democrats or the "left" of being socialist, marxist etc...

Texas has a special kind of weird people. I'm feel bad for the nice people from Texas.
reynoldser
*Everywhere* has shitbags & morons. I'm a native Texan & don't know any pro-Russian invasion people.

Is that a Stalinist your image of Lincoln behind those people

You deserve more upvotes, friend.

Fucking tankies.
ProppaGanda
Checked those idiots. They claim that the western left was created by CIA. Well. No brain found.
OtisTheTownDrunk
Actually that's just five people.
DSREX
5 too many. And da fuck is with the Soviet flag, like even Russia gave that one up.
RokuroCarisu
Just your average ignorant Americans not knowing the difference between the USSR and Russia.

I see a room of traitors
Sdougy
Buttt I thought the Dems and BLM were communist and that was bad?
lxvantess
Most def not all Texans think this. I stand with Ukraine
ThreatLevelMidknight
I'm so tired of seeing these over generalizations of entire populations, based on photos of a few dip-shits expressing their stupid beliefs.

Their government just doesn’t represent its people. It’s no wonder that same government has a boner for Putin.
YouWillNeverFindMe
Is that in Russia or the US?
YouWillNeverFindMe
I guess the exit sign answers my question... WTF US?

I don't know, Dicks and Taters are much better than dictators.

Lets just give texas back you mexico already

By giving back Texsucks back to Mexico, for free, the collective IQ in America should go way up
HeresYourSauce
What the fuck? Is this official? This is treason.

MutantPoptart
Yeah... what am I looking at here? Seems like something you'd see in Fallout.
foodislifefoodislove
Super mutants and ghouls soon
PutItInNeutral
It's not treason unless the United States was at war with Russia which we are not (yet).
BarfMonger
Still would not be treason. Treason is a pretty high bar. Treason is for someone meeting with Putin and passing secrets that lead to war.
haitamimama
Yup. And they wont see punishment because we are wusses
Akovsky
Or were a liberal democracy and having stupid political opinions isn't a crime.
spinbutton3
I don't think this is breaking a law...they are being idiots. But we aren't officially at war with Russia
spinbutton3
But, I think fixing them to their bosses and. Communities might be interesting.
Thispostisaboutacat
As your president, my first act will be to draft legislation allowing anyone to punch people like this directly in their faces.
lanthanidehighway
my first act would be to reactivate the draft and the first letters would arrive at the homes of these choad-catchers in their kids' names.
ShadowDarkNinja
No, this isnt official, its just a small but idiotic group.
BAzV
But still treason… right?
Mr21782Man
We call that group Republicans.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
That's what we said about QAnon
HorseMcFucker
CuddlyPervert
Not technically treason until we declare war on Russia. Just stupid as f***
ShadowDarkNinja
Thats fine but the post i responded to asked if this was official and thankfully its not. But yes, fuck these people in particular
caledric
people need to stop throwing this word around. It's pissing me off.

People need to revisit the dictionary instead of thinking of the worst word they know and then fitting it in wherever they see fit.

"Treason ( . . . ), shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort"
ClumsyBagOfSaltWater
Neither the (defunct) USSR or Russia are official enemies of the USA. These asshats are clearly covered by 1st amendment.
bril350
Maybe Russia did not get that memo
TrueLegateDamar
Yet. Wonder how quick they'll change their tone if USA goes to war.
HeresYourSauce
... yeah you're probably right, but I don't have to like it.
DuelingBrothers
Nope, you do not and neither do I.
NotTheFedsForSure
No but ass hats like you throwing around "treason" and "traitors" for shit that's not even close is the reason those words carry less weight
Chocolatecoveredmoose
Absolutely! But how we use our words is important otherwise they lose all meaning. Like trumpets and their misuse of “socialism.”
Septcanmat
Hey now, don’t go disparaging trumpets like that. They are wonderful musical instruments.
xXxSTEVOxXx
These are Russian chauvanist communists AKA tankies.
Pgoodso
Yeah, I got a few whose first post about concern about US involvement in Somalia was the day after the Ukrainian invasion.
xXxSTEVOxXx
I mean... the parallels between the US/Saudi/Yemen thing and Russia/Ukraine thing are undeniable. But yeah that's prolly sus.
KirapkasGergers
Putin is widely disliked among talkies but there are a not insignificant minority who support anyone who opposes the USA/NATO
xXxSTEVOxXx
That's probably a more accurate and descriptive way to describe what's going on in this picture +1
pudaheh
Do they think Putin is a communist?
xXxSTEVOxXx
Probably not? As another commenter has pointed out, their support for Russia is usually more rooted in Russia resistance to America
Sandyundertones
Weird hill to die on, but I guess their dead
pudaheh
It's just... the flag. Oh well.
xXxSTEVOxXx
The less sense you try to make of tankie shit, the better off you'll be. They're qanon for people who have read Marx and Weber.
xXxSTEVOxXx
So in a bizarre twist of fate russian funded GOPers and weird, unserious leftists are the same side of this issue. Somehow.
BaronSpaghetti
There is nothing “left” about these clowns.
nclu
I totally recognize your name around here, my guy. Good work teaching our fellow imgurians about tankies
xXxSTEVOxXx
Thanks for the kind words! Just doing my part to broaden horizons. Tankies, graeber, naomi klein... all my favorite stuff!
Sandyundertones
Because Russian are communist? And Ukrainians are not? What?
xXxSTEVOxXx
Modern Russia is one of the most hyper capitalist nations on earth, a fact lost on many leftist russian apologists.
Sandyundertones
I am a little surprised by all the downvotes. Ukraine used to be Communist too. Supporting them for the same reason seems just as plausible.
ClumsyBagOfSaltWater
Russia funded BLM also. They fund anything that causes problems in western nations.
WorthEveryPenny
Pretending to be BLM and tweet random bullshit to ragebait reactionaries is not 'funding'
ClumsyBagOfSaltWater
Using money for a particular purpose is funding. Using money (ads and paid posters) to advance BLM is funding it.
xXxSTEVOxXx
I think you would have gotten upvotes if you had just done the second bit and elaborated on it. It's an important fact.
xXxSTEVOxXx
Problems like... drawing widespread attention to the injustice of police brutality and the murder of black people...
ClumsyBagOfSaltWater
Stalin started that quite some time ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_you_are_lynching_Negroes
Dagordae
Yes. The point isn’t to pick things that are good or bad, true or false, it’s ANYTHING that causes disruption. America’s racial issues have
aworkoffiction
It’s not the specific topic. But more of throwing logs on the fire of discourse.
