Yea Russia is really rooting out those Nazis in Ukraine lol,

I know liberals struggle with this concept, but saying true things sarcastically actually does not make them less true

many impotent downvotes

no comments

Damn the libs are learning, they know they’ll get factually and historically clapped

I know this because a US government-funded “independent” think tank told me so.

This deep into the Gaza genocide, anyone with two neurons to spark together hates liberals. Smug, conspiratorial fascists-in-denial who will spend decades helping to strangle you, then criticize the way you breathe.

Okay

what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and no legs in the evening?

That low level of area-specific stability can be achieved with proxy forces or mercenaries guarding corporate facilities

Lol covering your ass ahead of time because you presumably know about the 8 years of ethnic cleansing by us-backed nazis, but think that you can both-sides it if you pretend that documented reality is the same thing as whole cloth propaganda. Truth is the difference. The US lies about bad things happening to justify aggression against a rival, and the US also does bad things and lies about them not happening to justify aggression against a rival. The common denominator here is American imperial lies, and the fools who keep swallowing them.

Here’s a CNN segment from 2015, before mentioning the slaughter of eastern ukranians by their own junta government became politically inconvenient for the west:

A choice quote since I know your ass isn’t going to watch it:

We are Ukranian, but they kill us. So we probably need our own country. Because these people in Kiev, they are not brothers to us.

instigated by Russia

Know how I know you weren’t paying attention?

Lmao I’ve heard of clean wermacht myth but this is what, clean nazi high command?

Ooh, ooh, I know the thing you’re supposed to say here!

Ahem:

Whataboutism

If you host US fascist military bases that are used to blow up schoolchildren, you don’t get to whine when those bases are blown up. This is pretty fair, i think

Seconding this, being a military guy Mao is very good at explaining big concepts in clear, simple language

From a US military perspective, this is actually perfectly in line with standard procedure. Holding ground, especially ground so far away, is costly and difficult. So the new strategy these last 15 years has just been to destroy civic infrastructure and collapse the state. It removes a country’s ability to resist resource extraction, it creates a long-term “frontier” combat zone that’s highly profitable for arms companies, and it serves as a petri dish for incubating new proxy forces to be used later, either as goons or scapegoats (or both).

The workers disagree with you

“State capitalism” is not a thing

You talk about black and white thinking in the same breath you talk about good and evil, which is some shit that isn’t real. It’s leftover christian DNA in our psychology, it’s the long shadow of the church looming over our thoughts. There’s no grand referee, there’s no universal morality. There’s just a bunch of animals trying to survive, and we make our own moral code, and we do so in the understanding that it’s not about pleasing some absentee god but about living with ourselves.

Ironically, it’s you who is thinking in black and white right now, in binary “good or bad, saints or sinners”. You are, without meaning to do so I think, pulling a “he was no angel” about the country of Iran. We have to think relatively, not ideally, because there is no fixed good or evil: it’s all defined by what’s around it. Comparative analysis is all we have. In this context, between the US zionist axis of empire and Iran, Iran is indeed the “good guys”.

Nuance is when you ride the fence so hard you get pregnant with a 2×4

Capitalism and democracy are mutually exclusive.

Never, ever stop asking why
