Russia Circles the Drain — and the Far Right Brings Marshmallows

This isn’t just denial. It’s a full-blown, dopamine-fueled psychosexual delusion — a death cult of disinformation, projection, and historical amnesia. While Russia sinks into the muck of its own authoritarian rot, America’s far right stands at the edge, not with alarm — but with admiration. They’re not watching a collapse. They’re watching their dream come true.

It’s Not Confusion — It’s a Hard-On for Fascism

Let’s be clear: the far right doesn’t misunderstand Russia. They understand it perfectly — and they’re aroused by it.

A theocratic, ethno-nationalist regime that tortures queers, bans books, rigs elections, and murders critics.

This isn’t a bug in the system. This is the blueprint. The fantasy. The utopia. These people don’t flinch when Putin bombs a maternity ward — they lean in, stroke their chins, and wonder how they can bring that kind of “order” to Seattle.

Russia’s Decay = Their Libido

Every missile Russia fires into a school is foreplay for the Tucker Carlson set. Every oligarch mansion. Every gulag-built highway. Every journalist tossed out a window. It all screams “Daddy’s in charge.”

Russia is their mirror — bloated with grievance, terrified of modernity, obsessed with “traditional values,” and perpetually losing to reality. They don’t cheer Russia despite its decline — they cheer because they’re declining too, and it feels good to see someone else losing harder.

Fascism Is Their Coping Mechanism

Democracy asks you to think. Authoritarianism just tells you who to hate.

And they are exhausted — these rage-addled influencers, suburban grievance zombies, and dopamine-jacked reply guys — tired of nuance, tired of facts, tired of sharing a planet with people who don’t look like them or pray to the right sky wizard.

Putin’s Russia offers an aesthetic solution to an existential crisis: flags, parades, tanks, statues. History on loop. A nation embalmed in nostalgia and weaponized mediocrity.

And the far right wants it like a junkie wants fentanyl.

War Crimes as Pornography

Let’s stop pretending the American far right is “reluctantly sympathetic” to Russia. They are voyeurs to its violence.

  • Bombing Mariupol? “Tough but necessary.”
  • Poisoning Navalny? “CIA puppet.”
  • Annexing Crimea? “Based.”

They see state terror not as horror but as the state functioning correctly — purging the weak, punishing the impure, crushing the disobedient. It’s not political — it’s primal.

Russia: The World’s Most Dangerous Retirement Home

Meanwhile, in the real world:

  • The ruble is barely worth toilet paper.
  • Soldiers are fighting with museum-piece rifles and duct-taped drones.
  • China plays Russia like a broke cousin who forgot their wallet again.
  • Even Kazakhstan is side-eyeing the Kremlin like, “Bro, chill.”

Russia isn’t rising — it’s shrinking, paranoid, broke, and alone. Its greatest exports are diesel, disinfo, and despair.

And still, the far right swoons like it’s watching a twisted romance between 1984 and a meat grinder.

Final Truth: They Don’t Want to Win. They Want to Watch It Burn.

Far-right support for Russia isn’t about security, morality, or strategy. It’s about revenge — against a world they think has moved on without them.

If liberal democracy means coexisting with difference, they’d rather torch the village.

So they idolize the dictator, mock the victims, and meme their way through genocide — because they’re not interested in fixing anything. They’re just bitter pyromaniacs with podcast mics and no inner life.

The Takeaway

Russia is falling apart. And the far right?
They’re not just clapping. They’re taking notes.
They dream of the day they can do the same — not to their enemies abroad, but to their neighbors.

Call it what it is:
A fascist wet dream wrapped in the rotting flag of a failed empire.
