Ok, but how is supporting a peace deal to facilitate the outcome of russian forces withdrawing a fascist position?
That all depends on what you'd consider to be acceptable terms of a peace deal. Is it a deal that rewards the aggressors for their aggression?
No, the heads of NATO, Ukraine and Russia shouldn't be rewarded for their acts of violence against the people of Russia and Ukraine. All sides should withdraw from the territories in which they are not welcome by the people.
Also Russia didn't invade Ukraine to "gain new territory", do you know when the war started?
(Furthermore its important to clarify that although Russia is a neoliberal hellpit, NATO, using Ukraine as a meat shield for their interests, is way, way worse, literally headed by one of the most evil countries that ever existed: the USA, as such, it is foolish to trust that anything they do in this situation will help the people of Ukraine, including dump military hardware into the region for disposal and testing)
🙄 Yes, we all know Russia started a thinly veiled proxy war in 2014 when the Ukrainian people voted in favor of a western friendly government, and then Russia escalated it into a full blown war when that wasn't getting them the influence over Ukraine that they wanted.
What I don't understand, though, is why a bunch of self proclaimed communists are so in favor of expanding the global influence of a post-fascist government. Aren't communists supposed to be diametrically opposed to fascism? Their wartime Z symbol is essentially a half drawn swastika, like how do you not see it?
Being in favor of China, as they are at least communists in rhetoric, I get. But really, modern day Russia? Marx would be ashamed.
Your Ukranian "people":
(its mostly fascist paramilitaries funded by god knows who)
Your "voting":
(there was no democractic referendum held to oust the president)
Also, the west itself is a white supremacist fascist entity who went to Ukraine in 2014 to put pressure on Russia by cutting off potential allies. They are not the good guys.
Again, how are peace talks and settling matters via negotiation being "in favor of a fascist government"? Why are you so in favor of expanding the global influence of a fascist organisation (NATO) via the continuation of the war? Why are you opposed to the people of the Donbas being free from the horrors of civil war at the hands of the Ukranian military? Did you know that the majority of people in the Donbas are ethnic russians, and are pro-separatist? Did you know that this is the reason why Ukraine started shelling the fuck out of them and decided to sic their Nazi dogs on them in 2014? Why are you in favor of continuing a bloody war when a mutually beneficial agreement for all sides, even with respect to pre war conditions, can be reached from peaceful negotiation?
This is projection, the left has consistently been anti war this entire time, yet liberals are on the side of outright fascists in the ukranian military being given experimental weapons when they are not outright denying they exist.
You're not the left. The left hates you. You're just bloodthirsty edgelords being astroturfed by Russian paid trolls.
You're not at all anti-war either, you just want Russia to win the war. You're the person watching George Floyd getting choked to death here and says "well it's his fault for resisting."
The only thing separating you from actual fascists is username pronouns.
Projection for $100, Chuck. We're not the ones advocating for the global interests of white supremacist fascist nations in their genocide of the third world.
"ERRYONE I DONT LIKE IS M-MUH RUSSIAN BOTERINOS!!!" I hope you're memeing because this is going into the realm of unhinged conspiracy theories otherwise.
the lack of nuance you have about this situation truly reveals that you're just a puppet mouthpiece for NATO's fascist, warmongering propaganda to further its interests in the region through bloody conflict.
Imagine seething this much over pronouns lmao

Nobody actually thinks russia is a force for good in this situation, its just that an end of hostilities for the drafting of a peace agreement is much better for the people.
Well that's quite the wall of text.
Talk about lacking nuance. You can criticize NATO for plenty, but calling it fascist while ignoring the rise of literal Russian style fascism is telling. You seem to simply use fascism as a synonym for bad without even understanding what it is. Therefore everything you don't like (i.e. anything western) is automatically labeled fascist, and anything that is actual literal fascism but anti-west is somehow not fascism.
The war isn't NATO vs Russia, it's Ukraine vs Russia. Just because NATO can gain from a weakened Russia doesn't mean they are responsible for the war or are responsible for dragging it on. Nobody wanted this war, this is purely Russia's doing. Just because Ukraine has some marginal neo-nazi groups doesn't mean the country is run by Nazis.
The great irony is you're so caught up in this baseless rhetoric believing that you're fighting fascists that you end up supporting a textbook fascist government engaging in the very same imperial conquest that you accuse the west of.
I can call it a fascist organization because it is one. For the 100th time, I know Russia is a neoliberal state with a Nazi problem too, however I am not going to fall for state department propaganda and place the majority of the responsibility for this mess solely on Russia to minimize the gross involvement of the imperialist white supremacist settler-colonial extractive project that is NATO. It was a bad move of them to escalate tensions, but it was even worse for NATO to come in and destabilize the fucking region in the first place in 2014 with euromaidan and actively oppose peaceful negotiations as the war drags on and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people like you or I suffer and die in a hell on earth. Can you understand this?
Are you fucking kidding me? What are you even talking about? You didn't read a single word of the post you are replying to and are just parroting off whatever talking points Murdoch gave you to manufacture consent for NATOs proxy war.
Are you actually saying that the West, after first and foremost destroying the region, causing human suffering on an untold scale, in the 90s with neoliberal economic warfare and cynically maneuvering back in to promise a bandaid for the bullet wound they inflicted on Ukraine to encircle an enemy nation, is a force for good in this situation???
Projection for 200, Chuck. Are you implying that the American empire, currently emmiserating and genociding the 3rd world based on a white supremacist agenda, the very fucking inspiration for Hitlers lebensraum... isnt fascist???
The "West" is a white supremacist construct too based on an alliance of colonial powers btw.
Projection for 300, Chuck! You think Russia is doing imperialist lebensraum like Germany or America before it so you project the entire bloody ideological superstructure and endgoal of the west onto it (which at least you recognize as evil) and thus somehow mental gymnasticize yourself into supporting the a war pushed by the actual set of powers who performed such imperialist ventures.
All in all you're conflating peace negotiations with surrender because it will "reward Russias bad behavior" (paternalistic ahistorical fascist nonsense) and therefore unironically doing a "War is peace." Because you are a demonic warmonger who wants nothing but rivers of Slavic blood and money for Ratheon.
Hexbear.net was created during the middle of the George Floyd protests after r/chapotraphouse was banned. We have always hated cops and many of us participated in those protests. There are numerous emojis on our site hating cops including
and many many more
spoiler
George Floyd was brutally murdered by a pig who upheld white supremacy and all the other cops watched in support. It's part of an ongoing reality of cops murdering innocent people just because they can. Cops are an inherent part of the white supremacist institution that is the American government. You will not find anyone on Hexbear who thought George Floyd should "stop resisting".

Woah there Z Grover. You do realize not all fascists are Nazis, right?
Russia is the lesser evil huh? Kinda sounds like you do like them, otherwise I can't imagine the mental gymnastics you'd have to do to support them in conquering Ukraine.
