    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

    Current Russia is about as far from communism, socialism or any left-wing agenda as possible. It is a reactionist, authoritarian, pro-tradition anti-progress state run by a wealthy elite. Being against current Russia has literally nothing to do with McCarthyism, other than geography.

      Ok, still not what I was talking about, as you know.

        Then please explain what other association you have with McCarthy? Because the one I perceive as commonly used seems to not be it?

          Accusing people of being Russian agents with no evidence as away of silencing disagreement.

            Eeh, come on. While yes, that is one way to put it, McCarthy has a certain ring to it, especially in left and liberal circles. Something something you cannot not evoke a thing without its frame.

              Don’t even bother with brainlessbox. It’s a massive troll and ends up just repeating itself when faced with pushback.

              Notice how I know have multiple people stalking me across my entire post history and attacking me because I asked for evidence?

                  Notice how this person is replying to every discussion I’m involved in to slander me; they’re doing that because I asked for evidence and they’re so furious they’ve started stalking me.

              Attacking all of your political enemies by claiming that they’re secretly Russian agents, and then accusing anyone who asks you for evidence of also being Russian agents is very much in line with the ring McCarthy has to in in left and liberal circles.
