Maybe because it’s the instance that hosts the largest pro fascist-coup gov community. Everything I’ve seen from it at least seems to enforce that stereotype

Why do you feel the need to make this racist

Dang didn’t realize that’s what it was referencing

Late reply but the fact that people keep pets at all is also a very political subject.

Management/governance of things having to do with humans, which is everything that we know of.

ideology of National Bolshevism

That’s just nazis calling themselves “socialists”, the same way nazis call themselves “national socialists” while actively killing socialists.

Literally everything we know of is already inherently political, on account of being perceivable by humans.

excessive

How much force would have been appropriate then, do you think?

Also, NATOpedia article lmao

I have nothing good going on in my life, so I’ve adopted an extreme viewpoint

Correct. Oppressed peoples tend to support “radical” movements that would improve their lives, and this is a stupid comment for trying to make that sound like a bad thing.

eat the fucking rich, but that’s not what gulags are for

The “fucking rich” / bourgeois are to be shot, not sent to gulags. That’s for the idiots supporting capitalism.

USSR

Thank god the “empire” funded and supported the rebels against the empire lmao

Star Wars was loosely based on it so no wonder you’ll see parallels.

Well, the empire from Star Wars was based on the US empire after all, and the rebels were based on the Viet Cong.

I once thought that the US had made mistakes but generally was trying to do the right thing

Thing is, there is no “trying” to do something on a national scale. What nations do — what they can do — and how they react entirely depends on their mode of production and material conditions. And that mode of production for the US is imperialist capitalism.

But they don’t, so talking about those "what if"s are pointless. China’s current interests — and, broadly speaking, those of capitalist Russia even after the USSR has been overthrown — are mostly in line with the Global South’s against imperial core countries. There’s a reason sentiment like this is common across the developing world.

Many of western countries’ victims, like Cuba, DPRK, Burkina Faso, Palestine, etc., would not be able to function right now, or perhaps even exist, if they did not have China and Russia’s support. Of course, alot of them like Libya aren’t able to function anymore.

No revolution started with the whole citizenry waking up

Obviously not everyone lmao.

What every revolution has had is people informing others about what the issue is (often by pamphlets, news, etc), what needs to be done, and organizing. The vast majority of successful revolutions are only those that had organized revolutionaries.

The One True American^TM

No other country controls the global financial system like the US, and imperial core countries in general, does through its dollar hegemony and global monopolies.

Which is natural, since the entire modern world, its institutions and trade systems, are built on the past few centuries of brutal colonization of the rest of the world by western europe and japan.

finger pointing

Acknowledging reality isn’t “finger pointing”.

Acknowledging that the US has been the leader of the imperial core — the countries that have been colonizing the rest of the world for 500 years now — since WW2 is the realistic, materialist view.

Only difference now is that it’s changed form to mainly the economic subjugation (neocolonialism) of “former” colonies through unequal exchange under capitalism rather than direct military subjugation — though the US still has a major actual settler colony committing a genocide in Palestine right now.

Any country that tries to escape this system (by nationalizing its resources to prevent extraction by unequal exchange, usually by establishing a socialist state) is sanctioned (DPRK, Vietnam in the past, Zimbabwe etc), embargoed (Cuba), overthrown (Chile, Burkina Faso etc), or invaded (Vietnam, Libya, Korea, etc).
