Wow, people on a leftist shitposting forum don’t ‘actually care about combatting imperialism’. Looks like we have the one true leftist here.
If you are so worried about imperialism, log off, shut the fuck up and go join an antiwar group in your own country (I am assuming the U.S., but hey we get all types here). There is dick-all you can do about Russia on here.
Yes, you are absolutely right. We should all oppose western imperialism, since that’s the one we have a higher chance of actually being able to impact.
Doesn’t mean i can’t be suspicious/wary of people who, in my opinion, are a little too forgiving of Russia, thought. Forgive me if i sounded a bit NATOy.
I don’t really give a shit if you sound NATOy, but being an insufferable debate-bro by bringing up completely unrelated scenarios as if they have any relevance on the moral calculations of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is annoying af. Stick to the topic at hand.
There are terrible things happening in the Donbas, there were terrible things happening in the Donbas, and terrible things will continue to happen for the foreseeable future in the Donbas. None of us know what the correct moral calculation is, so stop counting angels on the head of a pin. I am fine if people are ‘more forgiving of Russia’ on this one little forum as opposed to the metric shit-ton of dumb takes I have to suffer through offline. (Example: I’m glad they are fighting in Ukraine because then Russia can’t invade the U.S. like it wanted to.) At least these people actually understand the history of the conflict.
Lmao, no, they don’t. Talking about the terrible things that have been happening in the Donbass since 2014 is also pointless since Putin doesn’t give a fuck about said citizens. Material analysis please.
And again, i don’t really care about all the NATO propaganda you subject yourself to. Running in the other direction and swallowing uncritically what Putin says to justify his actions doesn’t help anyone.
