Like the kind that made you stop and think for a second about how stupid the person advocating it is. For me, it’s the classic “The biggest mistake in recent history was the Allies not pushing into Russia after the fall of Berlin.”
There’s just a level of imperialist arrogance and blood thirst in there that makes my skin crawl. The worst thing in human history was that the US didn’t immediately betray the Soviets and wipe them out until they were sure communism was done for.
Equating communism and fascism.
I mean we seen that a billion times in various versions in mainstream and got used to this but still it’s the stupidest fucking thing ever.
I know, right? The body count of fascism is laughable compared to communism.
I once had a coworker fucking uno reverso card me when he started talking some weird white Islamo-nationalist shit and then went onto some really racist tirade against black folk.
He kept talking about the need to defend ones’ own people, so I brought up the Black Panthers and what they stood for, what they did in service to not only black people but for the people entirely. I told him they protected their own and that our state killed them for it.
He brought up Hitler. He said “just like Hitler, he was protecting his own”!
I don’t even remember what I said after that, I was flabbergasted and almost certain we were both wasted.
white Islamo-nationalist
WHAT
This sub conveniently forgetting about 200 years of Russian imperialism & going to bat for Russia in Ukraine. Like I know u guys don’t like Western powers but countries shouldn’t be able to conduct “special military operations” just because they’re bigger than their neighbor.
Username checks out.
Imperialism isn’t “country invades another country”
Sometimes it includes invasion… This war is fallout from the Ukrainian revolution in 2014.
Are you a demsoc? Do you think the Soviet Union was imperialist?
When is a hegemony not imperialist?
The soviet union was not a hegemony. I’m sure someone here can explain.
