Supporting the liberation of Donetsk and Luhansk from the Banderite government they have been trying to secede from for a decade is a good thing, and that's why the CPRF supports the Russian nationalists in the war. Had the west not supported a far-right coup back in 2014, it's likely the war never would have happened.
Honestly canโt tell if itโs satire
Then you might not be very knowledgeable on the topic, lol
Redditor npc response #912
As if Redditors even have enough canned responses to reach 912. I wish they had that much veriaty
Nope, why would it be?
Campism is when you can remember things that happened more than two weeks ago. And if you can remember things that happened more than three weeks ago, oh buddy, that's tankie
lmao
I had to come back for this message lmao, great work comrade
Are you arguing that Donetsk and Luhansk don't deserve liberation, on account of that being a "campist" take? Why would a "non-campist" not support their liberation?
See, if the government of a country want to genocide part of the population and that government is my husbando Zelensky, that me and western media mysteriously agree on being the most wholesome democratic leader ever, that's democracy in action ๐๐๐ and don't forget international law applies when evil Russia invades smol bean Ukraine, but if China even ATTEMPTS to breathe near Taiwan, international law is just a technicality anyway, we need to go in and fight evil authoritarian China! I'm very smart, you silly campists!
Pretty much, lol!
USA law too
It's libwest.asocial, they support Ukraine because while they think they are anti-war/pacifist western propaganda convinced them that it actually is (it's also convenient because they don't have to investigate the other perspective if the enemy are one dimensional orc villains)
That's like an onion, just layers of naive. Russia has had imperial ambitions on Ukraine for a while and thinking that they care at all about the "liberation" of Donetsk and Luhansk is crazy talk.
What "imperial ambitions" do they have? Why would Russia not care about the survival of ethnic Russians right on their borders? Again, the CPRF supports Donetsk and Luhansk, as do most communist parties globally, so just saying I'm "naive" doesn't actually form a coherent counterpoint.
"Material concerns? Physical reality? Oh ho ho, how charmingly naive, my dear boy. The true core of the matter is actually very simple, you see. Pushes glasses up anime-style Russia...is Just Evil."
That broke me lmfao
