~~You could be thinking about way more important stuff than that.~~ If people need a kick in the ass to stop viewing alliances with their ruling class for larger scraps & queasy Six Flags Great America trips as "getting the goods", this would be a sharp way to do it
Oh wait you meant the internally colonized populations, I misread the instance
They're gonna pesticide bomb shit in Latin America they're already doing it in Colombia
I think the US has been significantly worse than Russia over the last century if not more. They've been in various capacities in Vietnam, Korea, Phillipines, Panama, Cuba, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. Read about their colonial, commercial and other wars as well as their regime change ops that has brought countless right-wing dictators around the world, that have killed shit ton of people.
The U.S. is the global hegemonic imperialist power, but that doesn't mean that Russia can do no wrong.
Yeah that's what people are saying, they're saying Russia can do not wrong. You guys always have to make these weird strawman because when you make an actual comparison of what each country has done and why, your "both sides" argument crumbles like a cheap cookie.
Russia does plenty of wrong things. Their anti-imperialist and anti-fascist intervention in Ukraine is not one of those things.
Weird moment to do a both-sides. Guess the US imperialist propaganda doesn't allow you to think anything could be worse than Russia. Especially not the US empire itself.
Russia is acting in an anti-imperialist and defensive capacity. Literally the polar opposite of US.
Nah nah nah. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, Russia's invasion of Ukraine is inherently imperialist and fucked. Also fuck NATO.
You have no idea what imperialism is. "Country a attacks country b" isn't imperialism in and of itself, even if you grant the flawed notion that it was an unprovoked attack.
yeah. I think calling it imperialist is wrong on my part. I do think invading another country is fucked though, regardless of the supposed justifications. reading more about this.
I hope you will take some time to educate yourself about the conflict and its causes: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9212334
appreciate you sharing this. I will definitely look through this. I think calling russia's action "imperialist" was definitely a flawed analysis on my part.
Wrong and wrong, read a book and stop caping for nazis.
"stop caping for Nazis" is quite an assumptive statement to make about my views. doing my due-diligence to try and learn more from the perspective of many of this community. appreciate your helpful post
Youve got it backwards. Very recently russias been trying to catch up on atrocities, get back in shape, fit into that old ockrana uniform.
But other than tgat america outdid them by orders of magnitude, and this calendqr year started defending its orphan bone crown pretty hard.
there is no comparison between russia and the us. the us doesnt compare to any other country.
Its the same as comparing a dog to a t-rex
