Nah, I’m just pointing out it’s a deeply corrupt, deeply violent authoritarian state. Been to China, been to some “3rd world” countries, and my own was a bloody neo-lib laboratory on the verge of collapse for most of my youth years and it’s still all very different from Russia. Ukraine is very much an effect of destabilization efforts, that I could easily agree. But Russia? It had a system that it’s leaders run to the ground themselves, a system that starved the “breadbasket” of Europe, and that went bankrupt despite having every possible resource earth could give. In the process it also destroyed the humanity of it’s loyal subjects and corrupted the rest of forced them to run. Maybe it’s just me, but it would seem to be the theme of any Russian counter-culture text and song over the lat 40 years as well, have a song, or another one. And now it has a government that reignites old nationalist and threatens to either invade or nuclear annihilate my country about every month (in voices of state figures, not some randos).
Fan fact in calling me a nazi in defense of Russia (apart from the fact I’m a well known antifa organiser); a family member was in the military intelligence (of the underground “Home Army”) over WW2. He took part in some wild missions, like obtaining V2 rocket and delivering it to allies (as the Soviets were still cooperating with Nazis, would have be closer…). The guy went through Warsaw Uprising, the biggest antifascist uprising of WW2 (and arguably the most mindless suicide attack on nazis at a country level scale). But he survived both that and the concentration camp afterwards. And than he barely survived half a year of torture in soviet run prison. He did so only, as they never figured out his rank, he’d be shot as all other officers were. Never recovered from what they did to him tho. Wasn’t the gestapo, wasn’t plain fighting in a guerilla warfare against the nazis for over 5 years, it was the commissars that got him. Impressively that’s the type of “anti-nazism” you favor, still.
If only there was a term for believing everyone that doesn’t share your exact vision of the world is an enemy to be dehumanized and destroyed…
So anyway - fuck you, and enjoy the rest of the evening in your own shit. I’m off for a walk in a lovely snow covered hills.
Here, have some context. You guys cant stand the fact, that someone might be anti-imperialist; anti-US but also anti-Russian imperialism? Is it that hard to comprehend?
It’s cold and dark outside, it’s not like I would spend the rest of the night out mate… Was going to stop, but you’r sect keeps on coming and it’s funny in a way - see you people deeply unable to prove any of your beliefs and hitting with the most tried and miss-target arguments you can pull.
But also, pleas do provide your definition of imperialism!
that user is denying that Donetsk was bombed for 8 years. I wouldn’t doubt that they also don’t believe in other well documented and widely known historical facts

1: You literally don’t know what imperialism is
2: You posted this three hours ago, and haven’t stopped posting since:
When are you going for that walk?

This is some professional level obliviousness, willful ignorance, and weaponized misunderstanding on display. Bravo.
Sorry, your right. I must stand corrected; by the time Polish underground went V2 shopping Soviets were not best friends with Nazis anymore.
I admire your continued professionalism
What are you referring to, exactly?
Please, tell us more about how the Soviet Union was itching to join the Anti-Comintern Pact.
Ive no idea what tankie conspiracy your referencing right now, im not that much into this lore.
You don’t know about the alliance between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan? I knew you were ignorant, but come on.
that user is denying that Donetsk was bombed for 8 years. I wouldn’t doubt that they also don’t believe in other well documented and widely known historical facts
Yeah I do, so what about it?
