    I’m not assuming anyone is Russian but nice try. I assume most of the negative ones are either American or Western European, because that’s almost the only regions where Russia is viewed very unfavorably by a clear majority, and this site skews anglo as shit, that is the UK, the US, and Australia.

    I’m not for more war, but y’all weirdos hear “we should listen to ukrainians and initiate peace talks” and interpret “we should unconditionally surrender the entirety of Ukraine and then most of eastern europe while we’re at it”, maybe because the only peace you’d accept is the unconditional surrender of Russia and its balkanization. Hate to break it to you, it’s not happening. Russia’s economy is outperforming most western ones, is growing faster than all of the major economies and has just surpassed Japan as the 4th in the world by GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity. But I imagine the World Bank is somehow Putin in disguise as well.

    It’s better to engage with reality than sacrifice Ukranians for your delusions.

    Nah, I base my opinion around the evidence. If the consensus of the US and Western Europe was what drove my opinion, I’d have been in favor of killing Gaddafi, invading Iraq, torturing Asians in Vietnam, bombing Iran, and all other sorts of monstrous shit.

    I’ll wait for y’all to pretend you were always on the fence or against but simultaneously there was no way of knowing, since only the tankies were saying it and we know we can’t trust those.

    Did your script get jammed? They were bombing Donbas in violation of the peace deal for years after Russians had already exited the country.

    If the US insists on its clients violating brokered agreements, they shouldn’t be surprised when others don’t trust their word.

    No it wouldn’t, delusional as usual from libs. Ukraine was bombing Donbas from 2015, killing upwards of 14k people.

    This was after the Minsk II accords where they negotiated, which is very reminiscent of the Israeli tactics in Lebanon of announcing a ceasefire and insisting only your opponent abide by it. It’s reminiscent because that’s the standard US client tactic, which they implement with complicity from the media knowing libs treat contradictory evidence as propaganda.










  • Yeah bro, the anti war hippie who was challenging the FCC in the 70s would have totally been team corporatocracy. Carlin had several interviews where he talked about how the two party system in America is an illusion of choice and ragged on Bill Clinton for being phony, and that’s the farthest left liberal candidate in like 30 years, a fucking neoliberal.

    Yall sound exactly like the conservatives claiming MLK.

    Saying that China isn’t perfect and isn’t communist

    What part of this was too hard to understand? I know it’s not perfect, it doesn’t have to be. That doesn’t make it not socialist.

    It’s legitimacy doesn’t come from being perfect, it comes from being overwhelmingly popular with its people, which you ignore while pulling your melodramatics.
