If you haven't noticed in recent times, liberals have been accusing the Trump administration and basically anybody who criticizes Biden/Kamala/liberalism of being a Russian agent or puppet! (Or sometimes a Chinese or Iranian puppet, but Russia is the most common)

It can't be the fault of the United States themselves! It can't be that liberal capitalism would eventually degenerate into fascism! It can't be that people are genuinely furious at the government independent of foreign powers!

It's all the Russians!

It's especially infuriating when they accuse leftists (particularly pro-Palestinian activists) of being "just funded by the Russians!" It's like liberals refuse to take responsibility for their own ideology's atrocities and think that their precious liberalism can never be wrong and all the haters are just fake.

Are the Russian bots in the room with us right now?

I've noticed that ever since I started learning Russian people seem to trust me less when I talk about politics. As if knowing the language makes me inherently compromised as a source of information/analysis.

I actually worry about this as well, to the point I’ve hidden my Russian language books just in case.
