imperialism is when you do war

Heeey…it’s also when big country. But not when USA.

Zakayev. Dudaev ded.

I see where you’re coming from, I just don’t think this anything more than “we need to invest in more pittances and better lies if we wanna stay on top”.

I…sure am happy for you if you saw that in this article.

Yeap. Russian skitzo political landscape be like: we got volunteers from CPRF on the frontlines, battlepriests, squad of football fans, squad of nazbols, and…oh, right, squad of anime fans.

I seem to remember something about a community of anime fans involved in humanitarian aid called Орда (Horde) too. 21st century war in Europe be like. And, speaking of Horde

Freedom of what? Freedom from public healthcare? Freedom to harass minorities? Freedom to exploit the working class?

That reminds me of how the 90-s in Russia were once described on r/AskARussian. Freedom to kill, steal, think of what you’re gonna feed your kids tomorrow and freedom to attack border towns for certain FREEDOM fighters terrorists.

It is a frustratingly persistent illusion. Thanks, philosophical idealism. People are too caught up in thinking how they might have whatever if they just try hard enough to notice that the game is rigged and that the game presupposes someone is gonna get robbed. And that someone is most people.

A fascist gendarme walks into a gulag…

I was just hoping CPC would manage a peaceful resolution and now it be lookin like Ukrainian experience will be directly implemented there. They still might, I suppose, but I’m all out of optimism.

I’m more curious about the implication that there are genocidal features. What do THOSE look like?

Well, there have been signs of ukrainization, if you will, of Taiwan throughout SMO, and Amerikkka is definitely interested, so this is, unfortunately, not surprising.

It doesn’t need to. If the deal they cut with the US nets them a wealthy life in a pretty place by a lake after all is said and done, it’ll all’ve been worth it. And they might even actually get what they were promised!

I mean, look at that Chechen terrorist, the “president in exile” one, whatever the fuck his name was, he doesn’t deserve one anyway.

I think that my country could grow immensely if it had more candidates that were presentable.

Do I smell electoralism? More importantly, that sounds like a great climate for color “revolutions” these days. I sure don’t want pro-western capital having any more voices in Duma than it already has. Also, UR itself has plenty of cucks that want to keep trading with the West already, and if it starts falling off, it’s better if other libs are still nowhere near power thanks to UR and CPRF is still number 2.

I think Russia should focus on healing the political landscape and introduce some competition between the parties

Not to the detriment of the war effort it shouldn’t. Also, see previous point.

There is some serious myopia going on with these trot related fragments of the Russian left(?) that say…liberal shit all the time… Anyway, they think they’ll catch some capitalist cooties by agreeing with anything at all that the government does, I guess.

More like some grains of truth in that joke prompted a sheet of western plans for Russia, Zelensky and Amerikkkan hegemony apologia. There is a whole thread of…whatever that is now too, see for yourself. Might be a lib, might be a Russian trot, they’re not very different these days.

Nice try (no), but shitlib and liberal propaganda aren’t buzzwords in this context, because you provided all the proof in the world. And there is no discussion to be had here, these liberal takes had been beaten to death here before you knew about lemmygrad.

You clearly don’t live in the real world if you think you can judge countries and their policies as if a country exists in a vacuum. And, again, knowing who owns your brain, I don’t intend to waste my time on explaining this, I’m sure you have some quality Syomin brand copium for why Putin is worse than a fascist military alliance that commits genocides and pluders half of the world.

@GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml

I’m sure this one will bury themselves sooner or later, so it’s not like I’m gonna cry for a ban, but you gotta be on high alert with this influx of new accounts. You might think I’m crazy now, but we might get actual Ukrainian psyop trolls here now.

“falling into my trap” doesn’t absolve you of anything. You did it, because you’re what I thought you are.

You still haven’t explained what you meant by “markers”, is that a Lemmy thing?

No, markers are your brain thing and you want to have it sorted out. Putin is ok to criticize say anything and everything about, because he isn’t a leftist leader, any Russian lefty who doesn’t like trots like Syomin and Rudoy is a zhozhek…- them’s the markers. And you think in those.

Is that an admission?

Works like a charm…

Also, you missed.

For local comrades: “Zhocheki” is a group of ML content creators from post-Soviet countries that didn’t jump on Syomin’s 180 wagon when he started retranslating western bullshit all of a sudden come SMO and have been working closely with humanitarian aid organizations in Donbass since.

You know, real traitors of Marxism. /s

You aren’t criticizing, you’re regurgitating shitlib propaganda.

And thanks for proving your brain works on markers for the people in the back.

P.S. Сёмин и Рудой из запоя уже вышли?)
