You see this a lot with the Russian SMO. Too many "leftists" are very comfortable with leaving their analysis at the door of "neither Washington nor Moscow" and leaving their positions eerily absent of any part of fascist Ukraine and instead pontificate about Putin's desire for a new Russian empire and how he is homophobic.
It is very difficult for them to see the true analysis of the conflict from a dialectic instead of weighing "good" and "bad" things on their personal ideological scales and adjusting their thoughts accordingly (never mind that the have their thumbs on the scales against Russia)
