God fucking damnit I hate these people

I’m mainly posting this to vent,and I would recommend that you don’t watch that video unless you want a lethal dose of NATO bootlicking beamed straight into your frontal cortex

But holy mother of god are these people making my blood boil

The constant trashing of our past,the disgustingly pathetic way they praise the more “westernized” and “Nordic” countries in here,the fucking EU bootlicking, cheering on the slaughter of Ukraine and Pooh Poohing Russia as if it’s the main villain,it drives me nuts! This mf slave to the west is a Georgian,so he is especially obnoxious, considering his country was the proto-Ukraine and he has a chip on his shoulder about that. My god,I don’t wanna sound insensitive or racist,but I just have to ask,is this how POC feel when they see other POC going to bat for the democrats? I truly don’t mean to equate our struggle with theirs,but god damn,I feel like these people are so mentally colonized that they can’t see a future where they aren’t at the beck and call of the West. And it’s like,YOU SHOULD FUCKING KNOW BETTER,YOU FUCK,YOU LIVED HERE!YOU SAW WHAT SHOCK THERAPY DID TO US,HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU CONTINUE TO SING THE PRAISES OF THE EU AND NATO?

I’m sorry if this post doesn’t fit the comm,but god fucking damnit are these people insufferable,him and that Living Ironically fuck, constantly shitting on communism but praising the public transport (WHICH THE COMMIES BUILT!) and other tomfuckery. The one video that really made me lose my shit was when the Living guy (serbo-hungarian) shat on the legacy of Tito and Yugoslavia as a whole, that one was a bridge too far for me. Shit on Ceausescu,fine,he was no great angel,USSR hate I’m used to,but you,as a serb,who was born in Serbia,to shit on the most impressive success story of the balkans and trash the amazing progress that was done then just because you didn’t have the treats of today and the ability to desert your country and flee to the busom of empire fucking makes me not only ashamed,but impossibly angry.

This part of the globe is nothing special,we aren’t the center of it,and we are not free from the worst exceses of the West either,we practically keep the Roma population as an underclass and we gladly killed off our Jewish population and collaborated with the Hun(not Gary,but the sauerkraut eating one), not to mention the appalling misogyny and anti LGBTQ sentiment that practically permeates the air around here,but god damn,can’t we look for a way to address these issues and fix them without getting dogwalked by the West? FOR FUCKS SAKE,SOME PROGRESS WAS DONE UNDER SOCIALISM EVEN,AND WE JUST TOSSED IT OUT! But no, fuck that, let’s keep doing the funny stealing and ethnic cleansing jokes while gargling on the western boot! No pride whatever about the accomplishments we actually had,no desire to actually see the place get better beyond le corruption bad lol,no vision for the future.

I’m sorry this became a rant,but I needed a place to unload. If there’s a better comm to post this in,I’d be glad to delete the post. And I’m glad to delete it if my comparison to the struggle of POC in America is in poor taste.

    As a Latinamerican from the Caribbean, even though I wouldn’t pass for a POC because I look like a pasty ass motherfucker, I don’t see a problem with comparing the plight of Eastern Europe with us, because Eastern Europe has been like an internal colony for Western Europe historically, you have undergone the same shock therapy that we got through Pinochet and other dictators imposed by the US, and I think it is vital that we see how similar our histories are, because we have a lot in common. This is why I always stress that Latinamerica, Africa and Asia are family. We tend to forget that Eastern Europe has also been terrorized by the same forces of Western imperialism, but the similarities are there, in the life altering effects of neoliberalism.

    On the topic of gusanos, I feel the same when I see a Latinamerican being a westoid, or bending the knee to empire. It is disgusting, and I almost went into the exact same rant you did yesterday when I saw those videos of Trump at Univisión Noticias, because I know how those people in Miami think of their own, and seeing them nod along to someone like Trump, a Republican to boot, sends me. I feel the same fucking way whenever I see an Afrodescendant or LGBTQ+ person supporting empire, like that Ritchie Torres being a zionist. It offends me to a severe degree. That is not our path, our path was paved by the sword of Bolívar, and the sun is setting on the West, this is not the wagon we should hitch, but the wagon we should ditch, to rot as it deserves. I’m gonna stop cause that rant is coming back to me. I get ya, comrade, Hahaha.

      True, and there was also the fact the US never really stopped interfering in our politics. Remember what they did to Honduras (and are attempting to do again)? Manuel Zelaya was elected as a Neoliberal Conservative but he changed his politics to Progressive Social Democrat while he was president during the 2000’s. The US under Obama and Hillary, supported a coup against him and kicked his family out of Honduras for an exile in Brazil and Rep. Dom. Now that his wife is president again, this time they are Democratic Socialists, the US are attempting to bankrupt the country and promote a military coup just like how the did in 2009 (which led to multiple corrupt goverments during the 2010’s).

      The worst type of Gusanos are the pro-Kamala/Democratic ones. They support lgbtq+ rights and all these social justice stuff but ONLY for the US, because when it comes to the countries that they or their family came from, they support the worst people possible. Many Venezuelans in the US say they support Kamala because she will stop Trump, promote social justice and LGBTQ+ rights, but when you ask them about Venezuela, they will go into a full racist rant about how they hate Afro-Venezuelan culture, that they hate María Lionza (Goddess/Saint of nature, love, peace and harmony), and how they support Maria Corina Machado, who is Pro-Israel, hates lgbtq+ people and hates arabs and muslims. At least Maduro is one to admit that PSUV and Chavez was wrong in ignoring the LGBTQ+phobia inside the party and in Venezuelan society, and he pretty much is personally in favor of Same-Sex Marriage (which was going to be included on the new constitution, that would led to reforms, which Juan Guaido helped to destroy when he decided to self-declare himself president).

      Thanks for the reply,I appreciate that this isn’t something contained to one area

      I guess the reason I put that disclaimer there is because we can become convenient whites much easier than people from Latinoamerica can,and that our gusanos are much more widespread because Russia was a historic threat that can always be used to bolster chauvinism and bootlicker behavior to the west

        Yeah, over here they use Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua as the ‘‘bad countries’’ to promote that same bootlicker behavior. You made a good point on the ‘‘convenient white’’ concept, it’s true. Here they do the same, like you can be ‘‘one of the good ones’’, and ‘‘relatively civilized, relatively european’’ when you’re say, Milei or those assclowns from Paraguay and Uruguay that are so insignificant I don’t know their names nor care to. Same happens with Costa Rica, Guatemala, Dominican Republic where their political class is completely irrelevant.

        I’d add my own country, Puerto Rico to that list as well. We’re precisely one of those ‘‘convenient whites’’ you so astutely mentioned, an example to dangle like keys to our kin, like:‘‘Look at how well PR is thanks to being a part of the US’’. This is why you don’t see people shitting on PR, because we have good public relations thanks to US hegemony and gusanos see us as a dream come true. Honestly, if we think logically to the conclusion of what reactionaries want, their aim would be to ‘‘Puertorricanize’’ their countries. We’re a model for them, even if they won’t come out and say so. Imagine what a dream it would be to be born with US citizenship slapped on your ass, and be able to go to Disneyland and feel that you’re not only ‘‘one of the good ones’’, but that you’re an American. That is the aspiration of all gusanery.

          Well,my hope is that all nations of the world will find liberation,and that doubly goes for nations who experience more than the usual yoke of neocolonialism,but instead are direct colonies, directly under the boot of the empire,like Puerto Rico. May the future bring your people freedom,peace and a better life,where you will be able to breathe freely in a land of your own.
