I would extend it from Ukraine in particular to foreign policy in general. It's worse, genuinely, than large portions of Reddit.
On one hand there are the contrarian libertarian types that seem to flock to Silicon Valley and the VC sphere. Elon Musk, David Sachs, Peter Thiel, etc.
On the other hand there are are a lot of genuine tankies and campists, who (I assume) may have gone down that rabbit hole because of Snowden / Assange / Iraq and never taken a step back to re-evaluate their worldview as new events take place in less formative years.
And I think this is probably less of an issue on this particular website, but there's a third group of right-wing culture warriors that adopted the Russian propaganda framing Russia as the lone Christian Nationalist holdout in the war against the LGBT, multicultural, liberal West. Never mind that the Russian Orthodox Church is stuffed full of ex-KGB and FSB operatives.
