In topic: "So why are we so staunchly defending Hussie?"

As fans of Hussie's work (of which I am also a fan!), they have built up a reverence for Hussie in their own minds. To them Hussie is a sort of authority figure, so they're generally inclined to side with him on stuff like this. Not to mention the fact that most of these people have likely not even read the entire blogpost, which would explain why they have very little to say about its points (at least from what I've read. Cami can testify against this and she's no doubt a much more trustworthy source on this as they're obviously more active on this forum than I am).

"Lenin walks around the world.
Frontiers cannot bar him.
Neither barracks nor barricades impede.
Nor does barbed wire scar him.

Lenin walks around the world.
Black, brown, and white receive him.
Language is no barrier.
The strangest tongues believe him.

Lenin walks around the world.
The sun sets like a scar.
Between the darkness and the dawn
There rises a red star."
