Yeah, true. I have observed that too in the last few years. If you see someone saying we should not support Ukraine there is a 50/50 chance they are far-left or far-right. Pretty impossible to tell in most cases.

Funny that you tie that to the skin color of the people. Most people including me make the distinction based on the following criteria:

  1. Does the government have direct control over the broadcast?
  2. Is the channel allowed to criticize the government?
  3. Is founding decided by the government?
  4. Are you at risk for not having the same stance on a topic than the government?

In the case of Germany, all of these are not true. In the case of authoritarian regimes, they are. That is the key difference.

Exactly. That is what bothers me about most anti Americans here in Europe. The US absolutely did many terrible things, but that does not automatically mean that the Russians are the good ones. They did many terrible things too.
