    That's what I thought too, but somehow there is a "600 page report on the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop" on their front page.

    Like I said, they call themselves leftists, but everything there is only anti-Biden, anti-NATO and anti-Ukraine. Nothing about republicans pushing for child labor, for example, which should be the most important priority for a pro-workers group.

    There are articles about this regularly on Hexbear and, I must assume, on Lemmygrad as well.

    People like the Hunter story because it's funny and there is genuine corruption going on, but I don't think any of them think it's actually important.

    Posts about the ongoing child labour in the US appear on hexbear and lemmygrad frequently...

    Trump isn't president, It's not weird for leftists to criticise those in power more often, nor an offensive organisation responsible from bombing innocent working people or a banderite state for that matter

    Weird that you mention this. I assume you mean NATO, because there is another organization responsible for bombing innocent working people right now, as well as taking the working people of their own country and sending them to die. Why is criticism reserved only for the one that did not start the current war?

    banderite state

    Can you show in what way is Ukraine more right-wing than Russia?

    I hate the Russian government for being cynical liberal mafiosos who use reactionary rhetoric similar to if Republicans were transposed there ("our enemies are exporting homosexuality to us to weaken us" etc). That is still substantially different from making your #1 national hero a Holocaust perpetrator, which Ukraine has done.

    Probably because none of us live in Russia, so criticizing them is a waste of time. Of course they suck, but there's nothing we can do about it. Nobody in Russia is ever going to read our criticism.

    We do, however, mostly live in NATO-aligned countries. We CAN affect change in our own countries. That is a productive conversation to have.

    Nobody is claiming that. You're having an argument with a guy you made up.

    "600 page report on the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop"

    Idk about Lemmygrad, I can't speak for them (I also couldnt find this post when I went to check, and I doubt its slipped off the first two pages in the five hours since you posted this?)

    But on Hexbear we think the Hunter Biden story is funny and dont take it seriously. We post about it to mock it.

    Supporting Trump is when you show interest in (admittedly boring and inconsequential) ongoing news issues.

    Biden is a right wing monster who literally wrote the 1994 Crime Bill that has caused over a generation of misery, horror, and suffering. Not going to get in to the other ones because we literally have several pinned posts on the matter and I'm sick of re-iterating them to ideological brick walls.
