I've been thinking a lot of about this and my educated guess would be - rising distrust with current institutions and/or bad experience with societal failures.
If you look through history of
.mlposters they are mostly in western europe or US and there's always a specific grievance they have like the current societal system did them dirty. Most normal people just realize that all systems are imperfect and sometimes you take an L and continue but there's this trend of sore losers extremists in both far right and far tankie left that just have full identity capture and radicalization because of a one or few conflicts.I almost fell into these pits myself several times because being owned by a system that doesn't give you sufficient tooling or voice to feedback on does feel really terrible. Especially these days when burying issues is so easy under automation, culture of indifference and political unseriousness.
However, imo most of these are just weak people and I don't necessarily say this as an attack but all societies have weak links that can turn to extremism but that just means we should do a better job correcting for this.
TL;DR: trauma
Did you also read about soviet genocides and gulags? Maybe you should read a bit more
You can't be serious? Lmao I don't even know how to reply to this level of ignorance
Maybe start here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genocides_in_history_%28World_War_I_through_World_War_II%29#Russia_and_the_Soviet_Union
I hope you get treated just like how Russia treats their disfavored peoples
Tell me who you define as the west, because unlike you chances are I've already criticized it very vocally
Fuck you. You say "I hope the very worst happens to you", get a reply being "well, I hope not that for you", to which you reply "ha, I think I have a gotcha!"
You are fucking GROSS for this.
And of you refuse to adress the point. You're mad I pointed out your hypocrisy
Lol, lmao
You will just redefine willful harm against millions like starvation to not be genocide by your terms. And if you do believe Putin and his gang is right wing, why are you still shielding them?
Lmao I literally lived through this so maybe fuck off back to your Spanish tankie larping basement. What an absolute moron - sorry I even gave you a chance. Enjoy the blocklist.
This is either a flat out lie or grossly ignorant.
The Soviet Union was responsible for multiple geocides.
Don't spread misinformation.
