Pretty much any post more than a few hours old on lemmygrad has a lone downvote on it. Either it’s a committed lib or they made a bot. Either way it’s a good example of liberal praxis.

Prime minister and Supreme leader are literally synonyms yet have such wildly different implications.
They argue for peace only because they want hostility elsewhere. The honesty is refreshing.
Good point on the election. I suspect we’ll see both colours of the one party state to try to one up each other regarding the war rhetoric.
It’s interesting how clear this article makes it that this is a proxy war. Instead they make it clear that it’s NATO equipment and the will of the US that is pitted against Russia. No mention whatsoever of Ukrainian agency.
I was tickled by the author suggesting the US tries to negotiate peace to prevent total Russian victory, as the concept isn’t absolutely alien to the US.
Jokes aside it’s a good conversation. It is a vague term and continues to be the world’s most popular word for the greatest crime imaginable. What I find interesting is that mass killing of people of a particular political ideology still falls out of the bounds of the ever growing definition of genocide.100,000 communists in South Korea are systematically killed and it doesn’t capture the imagination quite the same if it can’t be called genocide.
I’m not arguing that genocide should be a more vague term. I feel like a need a word for mass killing of largely unarmed demographics that is more flexible.
I don’t mind defining all war as genocide. USA gets to be the world’s most genocidal nation either way.
It’s the US starting to balkanize
Sigmarxism is leaking.
Vostroyans are one of my favourite for those reasons. Beyond the aesthetic they paint a picture of the whole “Pay reparations to an imperial power” system.
