I don’t know how but somehow it feels like lemmy is even more full of arrogant, moronic libs than reddit. Such a bloodthirsty, warmongering pack of Western chauvinists. I can’t even stand being anywhere but lemmygrad now. I seriously fucking hate these people.

      They always do. Because liberals still navigate the world believing in the objective reality of morality. They think there is real true evil and real true good and that while the US may not be real true good (like them and their family are) at least they can all agree that Russia and China and Iran are real true evil.

      Basically, liberals have that scene from Team America playing in their heads on loop during all political thinking sessions: “Yes, dicks fuck pussies. But sometimes dicks fuck assholes.” And they nod to themselves as they pat themselves on the back for understanding that despite the humor, the movie is absolutely right.

      This is one of the posts in the last couple of days that prompted me to post this thread.

      They’re “anti-war champions” until it’s the Republicans who are against the war, then they’re staunch warmongers.

      Almost as if the whole “anti-war” thing in American politics was just another means of controlling narratives.

        To be fair, liberals in the US were not against the invasions of Iraq or Afghanistan until after the wars were basically over.

        Surely you’re arguing in good faith? You do understand that of horrible people in the ussr, a Ukranian named Bandera could be argued as the worst one, considering all the collaborating with nazis he did (and thus, actual genocide). And Ukraine sure likes to lionize that Ukrainian Nazi for some reason marx thinking

        In the same way that a police officer “conquers” a murderer or a rapist.

        You don’t have to use cracker language to justify UkraNazi violence, just say you hate Russians.
