To be fair, there are probably good reasons why troons are on everyone's minds right now.
But it's like I said right near the start of all this (and like
@DumbDude43 put it just now): a lot of the support for Russia is the result of people projecting their own, narrow political concerns onto something that is incompatible and unrelated. It's no different than all the mindless Ukraine supporters on twitter, who view this as part of the same
American political conflict, except they're standing on the other side. All of them appropriate the problems of others and attempt to assimilate them into a parochial narrative that serves their own ends, when the reality is often the opposite of what they want to believe. The putinists support Russia because he said the right words about their particular bugbears, and the slava ukrain twatterists support Ukraine because they were told to by people who said the right words about
their particular bugbears. There's no more thought behind their positions than this.
Ukraine is a mess. Azov might actually be nazis and the people there really don't like the gays. That doesn't matter. Ukraine is also a country fighting for its ongoing existence and right to self-determination, against an aggressive, imperialist neighbour, whose leader has explicitly stated he wants to restore the oppressive and expansionist empire he grew up with, and who has absolutely no concern about murdering tens of thousands of people, regardless of which side they come from, to achieve that goal.
