I wonder if there's going to be some sort of culture crisis across The West when reality hits, or if Western media is strong enough to distract everyone with something new like they did with Afghanistan.

Remember when Hong Kong was "winning"?

Opened my eyes to the accuracy of the Western media

[-] Munrock@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah same. I was there, and seeing what was happening and what was being reported was a huge WTF experience

[-] 133arc585@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

I think they're already trying to shift it somewhat, the anti-Chinese stuff has picked up a bit recently.

That's Ukraine's current prime minister writing this opinion piece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Shmyhal

Imagine simping for a genocidal dictator who's getting his ass kicked by a bunch of farmers.

I agree, it's super cringe when people simp for Elenskyy, or literally any US president ever.

They're from Lemmygrad, you're from Lemmy.world, and you're talking on Lemmy.ml.

What makes you think you have a better claim to the community this thread is in?

Do you just not understand federation?

[-] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

how's it feel to get your first ratio on lemmy?

I just looked at Lemmygrad.ml. The rules on that site say "be respectful".

Your attached picture shows you are not respectful at all. You are supporting Putin, a dictator, who rigs elections, and who orders assassinations of political opponents (Navalny) and former Russian intelligence agents (Skripal, Litvinenko).

And of course Putin has in no way been respectful towards Ukraine. Invading Crimea in 2014, and the larger invasion in 2022.

So, you are being disrespectful towards Ukraine, and therefore you're not embodying the stated rules and values of your Lemmygrad server.

[-] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Be respectful to your comrades. The rest of the rule which you didn't copy: This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome. The rules only apply to lemmygrad,

"Disagreement is disrespectful" is a fun take from someone who calls communists authoritarian.

Wait until you find out what the US and NATO have been doing...

[-] tookmyname@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

That community will ban anyone who questions their Christi fascist oligarchy. It’s weird how a bunch of pretend communists can worship the an extreme right wing, genocidal, theocracy ran by oil tycoons who run around in yachts while the working class is thrown to meat grinder.

[-] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

no way bro can you point me to some people who were banned from lemmygrad.ml for questioning the christi fascist oligarchy?

If you are really enjoying simping for a neo-liberal protofascist dictatorship, then stop calling yourself a "Marxist"

[-] Navaryn@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

rather simp for someone opposing nato expansion than for a neonazi puppet regime staffed by people handpicked by the CIA. I swear you liberals refuse on purpose to understand that in the grand scheme of things the action of a "bad guy" can still be beneficial.

Russia isn't conquering the world anytime soon. So what would you rather have? a more multipolar world where russia has a relatively safe and solid position after showing that it won't be bullied into submission by nato (with the whole world watching), or a world where russia is balkanized into several statelets without the political, economic or military strength to resist capitalist infiltration?

We saw what happened last time russia got defeated. We lost a bastion of socialism, we saw tens of millions impoverished while a few capitalits dismantled everything that the USSR had built, and the whole thing ushered 40 years of hegemonic atlantist domination.

So yeah, i am rooting for the "neoliberal protofascist dictatorship". There is a reason why literally nobody in the global south sanctioned Russia. 75% of the planet is reasoning the same way i am.

[-] Lols@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

id rather countries dont invade other countries because they felt 'bullied into submission' over said countries existing

id also rather tankies stop pretending to have any kind of moral conviction or interest in some greater good or world peace behind their support of protofascist dictatorships invading other countries

Please tell me the benefits of running a genocidal war of aggresion for anyone that isn't Putin.

The "bullying into submission" is a paranoid fabrication of an increasingly unhinged fascist regime. Ukraine had no intention of joining NATO until this war, and now as a result of this fiasco even Finland has decided to join. And your usage of this particular phrase shows that this whole affair is Russia throwing a temper tantrum at its irrelevancy on the global stage. And if Russia is indeed balkanized into statelets (hopefully not, we don't need even more nuclear quasi-states) it will be the fault of the guy currently pissing himself in a bunker near Kremlin.

We saw what happened last time russia got defeated. We lost a bastion of socialism, we saw tens of millions impoverished while a few capitalits dismantled everything that the USSR had built, and the whole thing ushered 40 years of hegemonic atlantist domination.

Once again, tankie, Russia is waging a war of aggresion. All they have to do to prevent their defeat is to turn their tanks around and go back to Moscow. But that would mean the surefire end of strongman politics and the fall of Putin, so gadflies such as yourself have to regurgitate propaganda. And lamenting the loss of USSSR, imao, the country that was so prosperous that it a wall had to be built in order to stop people from escaping it. Truly a workers paradise. Perhaps 80 years of economical mismanagement and political repression was responsible for its collapse, and not invisible NATO gremlins with sledgehammers.

So yeah, i am rooting for the "neoliberal protofascist dictatorship". There is a reason why literally nobody in the global south sanctioned Russia. 75% of the planet is reasoning the same way i am.

The global South has neither the economical leverage, nor the political will to impose sanctions. They are staying away from this because they gain nothing from it.

Please stick to posting on lemmygrad, you are embarrasing yourself outside of your echo-chamber.

No you don't get it, the USSR had red fascism and was secretly capitalist, the only way to build socialism is to support NATO expansion and back the US in the coming war against China for Taiwan.

Once all AES countries are bombed back to the stone age the Western left will finally rise up and demand... more social democracy!

[-] JerkyIsSuperior@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There's no need to support NATO expansionism, Putin's cockups are basically free advertising.
