The multi millionaire friedrich engels is a communist?

Hahaha…

oops fixed it

It’s irrelevant because it doesn’t absolve your behavior.

there is nothing to absolve

and she’s not “making an excuse”, she’s giving you an explanation for our very fine, flawless behavior

i think most people here are just apathetic towards it, yea

as for smaller, more involved groups, you have the english-speaking libs and the middle class which are just nyt-brained to the core (on every single issue, so you can guess their opinions), and the communists and PT libs (with opinions that are pretty close to ours: “war is bad, putin is shit, and we should stay away from the whole thing, but hopefully the end result of this one is a weaker, and not a stronger, american/nato empire”)

Most countries are assisting Ukraine where they can.

lmao here i am living in a 200 million people country where nobody gives a single fuck about ukraine

even more political groups and discussions rarely involve ukraine except when lula decides to own zelensky in some way, no one here cares about nato’s proxy war

why is it that every ukkkraine shill acts like history started in february 2022

a lot of those bannings were pre-2022

i admire the willingness to spell it out lol but that other guy has big reddit debatebro energy and i don’t think it can go anywhere

you can’t agree with the comment above you and agree with your comment also.

of course i can; if i couldn’t, i wouldn’t, but i did it, which is proof that i can do it

politics for liberals are just a big reality show

some forms of autocracy can be more evil than some forms of capitalism is the worst sin.

where i live a family of people born among the poorest 10% would take an average of nine generations to reach the middle class. nine. even ignoring the generational part, that’s about 20 million people condemned, by birth, to a life of deep poverty, lacking even the most basic goods such as food and housing. and we’re officially considered a “middle income” country.

all, and i mean all AES states solved this problem either completely or nearly so by giving people decent jobs, education, health care and housing

so yea it’s impossible for me to not find you people absolutely ridiculous when you talk shit about said states just because they “arrested too many citizens” or didn’t allow enough fucking free speech. you can rip my fucking tongue off if it means i don’t have to see my people getting fucked on a daily basis

the chinese have been supplying every NATO war for the past 20 years.

smh revisionism has really gone too far

the US has been stoking it since 8 years earlier

way more than that

america knew what they were doing in late 2000s when they started the ukraine into nato bullshit; a lot of important people, including some ghouls, said russia would see it as an existential threat. i mean, fuck, angela merkel was saying that back then

i’m aware of the counter points

Russia is not governed by amateurs that are easily baited into invading a country

this was a bit surprising to read because if i spend 10 minutes in reddit i’ll leave thinking russians are governed by absolutely inept people who can’t do anything right and always fall for the silliest of cebolinha do pix zelensky’s schemes

and it wasn’t a “bait”, that’s a silly way of looking at it; in the neo-realist view it makes perfect sense that russia would see ukraine as an existential threat after the nato mistake was made, and that war would become inevitable if things escalated - as mearsheimer predicted more than a decade ago in other discussions

ukraine, in practical terms, has been disputed territory in terms of political influence since the fall of the ussr. but before the threat of nato, and the repeated breaking of the non-expansion promise, there was no sign that an invasion like this would ever happen

It’s a bit like blaming the Soviet Union or China for the Vietnam war because they were “expanding” communism or something like that. It makes no sense.

now you’re being disingenuous, vietnam doesn’t share a literal border with america. we should be able to blame the soviets for a mexican war if they attempted to bring mexico into a military alliance in the 80s or something, and the US would be absolutely right to see said alliance as an existential threat because it would be

it’s ok to think that russia deserves an existential threat for whatever reason, such as, i don’t know, “putin bad” (though of course i wouldn’t say he’s as bad as any american president, at least he has never been such for my country). but denying that russia’s change into a bellicose attitude was predictable and avoidable by sane geopolitics is just denying reality at this point

7 year old lecture by john mearsheimer, who is far from being a “putler shill” or a “tankie”, on why ukraine is the west’s fault
