How is this "mask off?" That we hate the US isn't exactly a secret.
I can't speak for the subreddit, but I love the podcast and I'm definitely not a NATO enjoyer. I'm surprised that there are people that are who listen.
There are also ML's there of course. However, some topics cause all manner of shitty utopians to come out of woodwork: religion, Gonzalo, US veterans, Deng Xiaoping and of course Ukraine war. Main problem with centrists is that they are NATO enjoyers in practice, because when they bothside the imperialist hegemon, they are effectively siding with imperialists.
Ah, now that you mention it I see this in a lot of leftist circles. It's a shame that people can be so close, yet so far.
