Liberals wholeheartedly believe that if Russia gains an inch of territory that their next move will be to overthrow the world. If you mention that this is unreasonable and illogical, they insinuate that you're a Putin sympathizer and you want that to happen.

These are the people who claim to want peace.

Putin has been in power for ~25 years. In that time, Russia has fought wars in… I think Chechnya, Georgia, and Dagestan. Small territories that were formerly part of the USSR, and for all I know it’s possible the USSR was justified in intervening or at the very least Russia’s action could not be called “imperial”. I guess there’s Syria too but the US is there too so that’s a wash.

Ukraine is the first real, full scale war Putin has launched. Still within the former borders of the USSR. And that was a war Putin tried to avoid and could have been avoided had Ukraine gone along with Minsk II and stopped shelling the Donbas.

Should we discuss all the imperialist invasions and wars the US has been in in the last 25 years?

Putin has had 25+ years to show he is imperialist and hasn’t done it yet. But libs think he’s gonna lead the Russian army to Paris if NATO dares shows any weakness.

Ukraine is also a former USSR member and the last time they "invaded" it, they were actively collaborating with the Third Reich

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Soviets didn't invade Ukraine. The Ukrainian SSR was fighting alongside the Soviets against the Nazis. As much as I hate the UPA and modern Ukraine, I'll never undermine or discredit the sacrifice made by Ukrainians in saving the world from Fascism.

it's always important to remember where the imperial core is, and who is dividing the world into camps (NATO) and who is responding to that division (non-NATO countries).

The Russian war in Ukraine is ultimately a side effect of the civil war in Ukraine, which is a side effect of neoliberalization of Ukraine, which is a side effect of the end of the USSR. All problems in that region stem ultimately from that event, but libs are incapable of seeing the end of the USSR as a bad thing, so they have to invent a world where former soviet nations are guilty of imperialism against NATO proxies and postcolonial countries are anti-democratic dictatorships who have to be brought in line by the "rules-based world order" (NATO).

We are letting North Korea win

Did I travel back in time or something? What are these liberals smoking?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago

North Korea is peacefully advancing their economy, technology, and living standards. Since they are Communists, this cannot stand. We must invade to destroy the country before they can do Communism.

Remember that scene in the new star wars where the guy says he sells weapons to both the empire and the rebels and then they never circle back to that plot point again? It just feels similar

irrelevant star warsRei and Kylo should have joined forces when he first offered and then become grey Jedi who tear down the Empire and the Jedi and then Darth Vader's force ghost shrugs and applauds

The next Dark age

Reminder that the "dark ages" is bullshit Western chauvinist mythologising of history. Which actually fits perfectly given the context of this tweet.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

The Dark Age, a time of backwardness, illiteracy, and decline. Also, when books were invented.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago

Quite ironic considering that the dark ages were caused by the ancestors of people living in Europe right now and rest of the world was prospering during the dark ages.

Born to late to join the revolution.

Born too early to colonize the stars.

Born just in time to watch the empire fall.

Fortunately we don't have to worry about libs like this because their only solutions are writing their reps, going to "protests" at the designated time and place and then immediatly going home, and voting.

So it's not like their going to have literally any impact on anything.

Who are we supposed to vote for? Genocide corpse or fascist corpse?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago

Given the wolfsangel in their username, they are okay with fascism and genocide.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Remember, Trump would have done Gaza but even fascistier! Vote!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That genuinely seems like a high bar to step up to. Biden has done a bang up job in the genocide department it’s actually hard to think Trump could top it.

when Liberals are talking about geopolitical conflict and use the word "BULLIES" I want to gouge my eyes out

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

I hear the angle, slightly more persuasively put but still the same as “bullies”, that “it’s all about the humans, I am against human suffering” which is false because it assumes the west are not actors with agency.

Too many soft leftists who believe that our society is simply responding to events rather than driving them, which is why “I am against humans suffering” is the more nuanced form of “BULLIES” that appeals to soft leftists.

Why are they so obvessed with this "history" narrative?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Just spitballing: the validation of imagining that someone, someday, will point to their picture in a classroom and say "and these people were actually right and smart all along, but all the brainwashed people on both sides just wouldn't listen to what they had to say."

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

It's always a matter of the civilised world vs the barbaric hordes to them.

They don't actually care about history. Tell them about the political philosopher Ibn Tufayl and how his works preceded the Enlightenment thinkers and was a direct influence on some of them. (I can't remember the specific details but there was an early copy of his Hayy Ibn Yaqzan the library of... maybe a mentor of Rousseau? who had definitely read the book and was a direct influence on Rousseau and then suddenly Rousseau produces Emile, which has astonishing parallels to Hayy Ibn Yaqzan although no conclusive, direct link has been established between Rousseau and Tufayl.)

Do you think they're going to be fascinated or excited to learn about this fact?

Nah, no thanks! Only Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and maybe whatever European history they're connected to via their heritage or their last name.

They're just interested in historical justification for telling themselves that they are heirs to civilization.

uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire

Personally, I love to see it. America really is spread thin right now, and its doing a great deal to show how much of a paper tiger it is.

Imperialism and crypty-fascism aside, I think it is really funny how this guy is saying "Bullies and evil doesn't respond to [ineffectual milquetoast lib shit], we need to actually stand up and do [ineffectual milquetoast lib shit]!".

Americans are screaming as if the world is ending because their empire is getting destroyed and their own country is balkanizing. Meanwhile, the rest of the world carries on their lifes.

These two accounts are spreading pro-Russian propaganda.

They’re portraying President Biden as a “weak president” when he is anything but.

Imagine getting worked up about a few Soviet-made trash rockets with zero accuracy being launched at Ukraine. lol Russia has zero chance of winning this, ok?

I am fairly certain that these people are just trolls paid by Putin and the Republican Party to divide us.
