    Personally I so want an academic response of this.

    Sorry but even if Tebit Pre-China was itself a theocratic State that was oppressive to the everyday people that doesn’t make the invasion an annexation justified

      Absolutely. Offer them a path out if they want it. Nothing at all wrong with that. But you can’t free someone without their consent. Though violation of consent is the favorite pastime of states everywhere.

      not to defend them too much but this sounds a bit like “you participate in society?”

        He’s a self-proclaimed ‘far-leftist’ who is already on YouTube. The least he could do is not encourage more consumerism?

          There’s still consumption in communism. Or Leninism which is what most who pretend to be communist are. I don’t know if that’s the word you want specifically. Perhaps critique those they support, and those that would support them. But there is no life in absence of consumption generally.

    Has there ever been a single conquest in history that has not used a black legend of some kind to lionize an invading force? Believing shit like this has got to indicate some fundamental failures of cognitive ability. Real quick just start checking people’s object permanence.

      It is the same people who believe russians are “liberating” Ukraine from Evil Westoid Nazi Gays™. You don’t have to look far for evidence of cognitive ability failure.

    You’ve got to be brainwashed by someone, might as well go with the pros.
