"Who can imagine that a country would allow its own capital to be attacked and provide no response to such a situation?" France's far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon asked rhetorically, in what appeared to be a reference to Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow.

      yeah, it is sickening and sad at the same time. I guess he would be on the side of Germany in WW2?

      im “far left” and think NATO and associated nations (Australia, Canada, Mew Zealand) should put boots on the ground in Ukraine, along the Belarusian border to free up Ukrainian troops for the front and aircraft in the skies.

      Fuck Russia and fuck this guy

          I mean, you can be auth-left. Reasonable to plot things in multiple dimensions.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectrum

          Several political scientists have noted that a single left–right axis is too simplistic and insufficient for describing the existing variation in political beliefs and include other axes to compensate for this problem.[1][9] Although the descriptive words at polar opposites may vary, the axes of popular biaxial spectra are usually split between economic issues (on a left–right dimension) and socio-cultural issues (on an authority–liberty dimension).[1][10]

            How would that even work in the real world though? There cannot be even a hint at equality under authoritarianism. Someone is always at the top, and maintaining that kind of power is going to require restrictions and oppression.
