I failed to understand most of it, but I think this is a brilliant post. I've read it maybe four times now, and its beauty and mystery deepen with every pass.

    What I mean in that screed is

    1️⃣ people remained "neutral" but kept supporting the western narrative throughout the past 2 years

    2️⃣ people don't have an actual geopolitical analysis, they have the libertarian "muh tax dollar spending" antiwar argument which is completely anemic. i would prefer ancient bandung maoist takes

    3️⃣ the accusation of marcyism against people who do actual geopolitical analysis has been making a comeback, it's a great way to learn nothing from all this

    what I recommend instead is everyone read abt that & also how western NGOs used things as innocuous as techno to lay the groundwork of the anti ethnic russian movement. look at how the far-right grows in poland etc

    Sincerity is hard to express on an anonymous web forum. This is the kind of posting that makes hexbear a special place. I like your post.

    Yea they have the scoop here it is nice. People mostly don't tolerate imperialist takes here. I just think it's hard for everyone to both learn regional history + politics of Ukraine, and read a bunch of stuff about the development of the global south so they end up accepting a lot of premises which they shouldn't.
