I’m friends with a Russian anarchist. They’re queer and disabled and they likely find it much more difficult to critically support Russia against the US than we do for example. A lot of anarchists I know come from misanthropy that comes from being surrounded by people who hate you; they don’t want a dictatorship of people who want you suppressed or dead based on your existence. I heard from a comrade in the UK that the queerphobia of ML orgs there fuel anarchist orgs.
I am sorry to hear that from your friend :<
I can definitely see how they can come to dislike any authority, but of course, I still think it is the incorrect path (and yeah, UK has an abhorrent amount of queerphobia from what people have said).
