It makes sense, Russia can no longer attack the U.S. on their lack of worker’s rights or welfare. So the only way they can do it is ‘lol they gay’.

Soviet posters went after the capitalists and oligarchs calling for new wars:

I suppose Russia can still do that, call out the western imperialists for not wanting peace. Instead its Russia fighting the war against woke.

    It’s sadly not just propaganda, there’s active legislative effort attacking LGTB and women’s rights in Russia for the past years. Sad shit

    This is a really great strategy to get fascists in the west on your side, and it works too. There’s a boat load of conservatives I see online praising Russia as some kind of last bastion of traditionalism or whatever.

    If it wasn’t for the cultural significance of right wing larping, I’d say they should’ve depicted the Russian as a modern day soldier and the guy in his hand as a modern day loser doing dress-up as a medieval soldier from a nondescript era, but of course they won’t mock the larp because it’s so personal to them.

    Still would be a far cry from the top tier Soviet propaganda, but this could have been mid if they removed the pride flag.

    Russia has been doing some cool things in geopolitics with BRICS and partnerships with PRC & DPRK, so it’s easy to forget just how bad they actually suck.

    Side note: why is all media featuring chainmail always fash?

      because romanticizing the feudal social hierarchy is a defining feature of reactionary thought
