Ah, he’s from Misery. Shocker.

Oh yeah, I agree with all that. I assume good faith and tag people when they say crazy shit so I remember them for the future.

Kind of hard to have a dialog on your instance because of shit like what this post is highlighting.

Oh I’m mocking modern campists, saying they’d probably support the establishment over a people’s revolution, if they were around back then. Probably should have made that more clear. And you’re right, Kropotkin was one of the signatories of the Manifesto of the Sixteen supporting the Entente.

Tankies if they existed back in 1917, probably: the Tsar isn’t perfect by any stretch, but he’s doing all he can to oppose and stop the imperialist Kaiser! The so called People’s Soviets and Lenin are just agents of the imperial enemy attempting to install their own puppet!

PTB, although I can’t say I’m surprised with the comm name. It’s annoying that so many leftist spaces just end up being campist authcom echo chambers

Europe: creates the transatlantic slave trade, plantation system, European exceptionalism (white man’s burden), gets the ball rolling on the Native American genocide, and invents fascism (Mussolini).

How could the US do this!?!?

Trying to extricate the US’ culpability would be irresponsible, but I feel like your comment is shifting blame away from the fact that it’s one big twisted knot, and Europe is also twisted up in it.

As the kids say, I learned it from you, dad!

Yes, because as I just pointed out, they’re flatly rejecting a disinformation narrative that was in service of eroding their national sovereignty. Given this vote preceded their being invaded (again) by Russia, I can understand it. And again, Russia isn’t interested in eliminating far right ultranationalist sentiment; the call is coming from inside the house.

It’s not anyone else’s job but yours to substantiate your own claims.

Here’s the US justification for the No vote.

Chair, today the United States expresses opposition to this resolution, a document most notable for its thinly veiled attempts to legitimize longstanding Russian disinformation narratives smearing neighboring nations under the cynical guise of halting Nazi glorification.

If Russia actually cared about fighting Nazi ideology then Aleksandr Dugin’s ideas wouldn’t be so popular in the Kremlin.

I’m tired of playing the “just a useful idiot or sealion” game

He resigned before the full house could vote to impeach him, essentially accepting the inevitable.

Meh, I don’t care if my opinion on the matter bothers people. I’d be staunchly against any sort of invasion or other kind of CIA ratfuckery but that doesn’t change my position that a half assed attempt from over 60 years ago is not really relevant anymore. Nobody is starting a thermonuclear war over Cuba in 2026.

It’ll likely be New York, as that’s where he was indicted. I don’t see either side wanting to change that.

Is your instance MGTOW as in “Men going their own way”?

Not that I support it, but I think that’d go a lot differently this time around. Cuba doesn’t have the solid backing of a superpower like they did last time, and they’ve been weakened by decades of sanctions.

While I agree you always need to look at who is saying what and what their motivations are, China has been investing in Venezuela, just as they have in many other countries.

Well yeah, he didn’t want them fucking up his 30k bet

god bless

Not very juche of you
