    I think theyre about the same honestly, they just hate the soviets for slightly different reasons. Chuds and libs belong to different offshoots of the same capitalist ideology, it’s really not a surprise.

      Oh yeah, by “more” sympathetic I didn’t mean actually liking them, just more willing to engage the topic with nuance and actually examine the USSR more earnestly than their lib counterparts, which has been very strange to see. I think it might help that they just hate it because they’re told to, while libs hate it because of “authoritarian dictators” which is something the CHUDs are a fan of.

        Personally I find it to be the opposite. Chuds tend to start incoherently frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of communism, while libs will repeat some propaganda they heard why communism is bad, but thats just my experience.
