So deep is the rot that they say nothing about increasingly blatant and bizarre examples of Russophobia. and its NATO allies refusing to engage in negotiations which might end the suffering of the Ukrainian people they claim to care about so much. Not only do they fail to ask, “ What about?,” but they have no critique of the U.S. The faux left are a highly problematic group, making common cause with the democratic party wing of the war party, and ignoring the war crimes committed by Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and now Joe Biden. Their confusion on Russia and Ukraine is emblematic of their confusion about so many other issues. and NATO and their support for the 2014 coup which overturned an election and put neo-Nazi groups in power. Leftists can have principled disagreement about Putin’s decision, but they should not ignore the culpability of the U.S. The eight-year long U.S./NATO scheme to use Ukraine as a weapon against Russia should be universally condemned by anyone claiming to be in that cohort. They do not stand against imperialism as any leftist ought to do. Of course many people who are called leftists and even those who consider themselves as such are in fact just liberals. The weaknesses of what passes for a left wing movement have been fully exposed ever since Russian troops entered Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The war in Ukraine, years of Russiagate hysteria, and corporate media demonization of Vladimir Putin and all Russians have led to this moment of dubious distinction.
The latest perpetrator is the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) , which announced that citizens of Russia and Belarus who reside in those countries will be barred from participating in the Boston marathon taking place on April 18, 2022. But one wouldn’t know that due to a plethora of discriminatory acts carried out against Russian nationals. Such discrimination is prohibited by most cities, states, and the federal government as well. The city of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts prohibit discrimination based upon race, color, gender, disability, religion, and national origin. But foolish bans of anything Russian are just the most visible indication that war propaganda is at the root of the hysteria. They are most likely to follow the dictates of corporate media and the democratic party and proudly take part in discriminatory acts. liberals are the worst perpetrators of Russophobic behavior.
