The jingoism has definitely been beyond anything I'd seen so far, post 9/11 included.

Yeah it's wild because back then I was called a terrorist sympathizer for being against literally turning Iraq and Afghanistan into a sea of glass, and now I get called a Putin apologist for holding a consistent and principled stance on the right of self determination for people in eastern Ukraine.

I keep getting called a tankie on twitter by people that have no fucking idea what anarchism is (and no shade on tankies yall are my comrades and I am actually helping an indigenous friend build an org centered around indigenous struggle in the imperial core centered on scientific socialism/decolonial Marxism)

A terrorist sympathizer or a slur, remember it was the early 2000's

The amount of times I heard the phrase "sand n-word" still sticks with me.

Why do you keep changing the topic?

How many slurs have you seen directed towards Russians - since this is worse?
