    Yes but also, by the same article, 55% of women considers a red flag if you “identify as a communist” and only 27% considers a turnoff “owning a gun”

      Note identify as a communist not are identified as a communist by a right winger who doesn’t know what the word means and identifies anyone left of Adolf as a communist.

      Edit: corrected

        That the “sample population” is clearly biased by its “geographic origin” and “cultural context”

          To be fair the Joe Rogan thing sort of gives that away already. 99% of women here in Europe would just ask “Who is Joe Rogan?” if asked about him.

            Yeah, and I also find extremely weird that people can be against Rogan (for being Righ-wing I guess) but pro guns and anti communist. It doesn’t sound like “critical thinking” to me

              I’m pro-gun; gun rights are also trans right, gay rights, and women’s rights; without gun rights, you don’t get the entire civil rights movement. Joe Rogan is still an idiot that amplifies the views of bigots, incels, and nationalists. Self-identified communists end up being authoritarian; it’s just red-flavored fascism.

                I’m really having a hard time understanding how the two things are connected

                    So the thesis of this book is “let the good people have weapons because bad people also have guns” instead of “let’s, all of us, have no weapons”?
                    American gun nuts really don’t get how ridiculous they sound to the rest of the world…

        Russians are imperialist, not communist. They dream of a great russian empire, not for return of the communism.

          Either way, it’s still nice that they aren’t welcome.

          Once Russia changes so that they can play nicely with each other and their neighbors, then they’re welcome.
