It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

      That is in fact an opinion, and an unfounded one at that.

      Imperialism isn’t invading another country. Words mean things. Imperialism as a term has meaning, imperialism as a socio-economic paradigm has specific characteristics.

      The alternative is to allow Nato to expand, so yes, I support Russia, and that doesn’t make me pro imperialist in the slightest.

          Their understanding of Imperialism is just “A country invading another country a neighbour.” No nuance, and deliberate manipulation to try and paint all the strongarming and gunboat diplomacy the west does, including outright invasions as “not imperialism”

          Their analysis has the same amount of thought involved as pointing and grunting.

              Exactly. They are the “default” in the west, the political idea that people have when they’ve never thought about anything political.

            Unless when it’s the capitalist core invading, then it’s “liberation”. Really, hard to attribute it just to their ignorance when the the proof is everywhere, even in the media they are consuming.

              Hence why the “another country” part is crossed out and replaced with “a neighbour”

              because it only counts when it is a neighbouring country, not a country on the other side of the world. Then it is just “liberation” like you said.
