Pretty based anti-imperialist song in Russian

I went down a little rabbit-hole earlier regarding Neo-Nazi influence in Ukraine, especially with the Azov Batallion. I'm not going to add much commentary, just provide some articles and quotes I found enlightening.

I was looking through some Wikipedia articles on music genres, and stumbled across National Socialist black metal, which has an interesting line:

In 2012, the NSBM Asgardsrei festival was established in Moscow, Russia, and then in 2014 relocated to Kyiv, Ukraine, where it is closely linked to the activities of the Ukrainian nationalist network Azov Battalion and functions as an international hub for neo-Nazism and other far-right politics.

Following this to the Asgardsrei festival, where we get

The festival is strongly connected to Alexey Levkin of М8Л8ТХ, and his "Militant Zone"[^1] label, who act as organizers and originally founded the festival in Moscow in 2012. Levkin and the Militant Zone are heavily involved in the Ukrainian nationalist Azov Battalion and the paramilitary Russian Volunteer Corps.

I followed some of the sources from that page and came across several things I found very interesting.

A Black Metal Festival in Ukraine This Weekend Is the Neo-Nazi Networking Event of the Year. Vice. 2019.

Hundreds of far-right extremists will converge on Ukraine’s capital this weekend for a “militant black metal” music festival that experts say has become a networking hub in the international neo-Nazi scene. [...] According to Haaretz[^2], Asgardsrei was founded by Russian neo-Nazi Alexey Levkin, a far-right dissident who came to Ukraine in 2014 to support Azov, which has since actively forged links with like-minded groups elsewhere. Levkin describes himself as an ideologist “who gives lectures in culture, history, and contemporary political thought” to National Militia — the paramilitary street wing of the sprawling Azov movement, which also has a regiment incorporated into Ukraine’s national army, as well as its own political party, National Corps. [...] Meanwhile, Azov has pursued an outreach program to cultivate links with far-right groups internationally. Olena Semenyaka, international secretary for Azov’s political party who has strong ties to Levkin, traveled to meet contacts in Germany, Sweden, Italy, Croatia, and Portugal in the past year.[^3]

The political arm of the notorious paramilitary Ukrainian "Azov" regiment acts as the mastermind behind the festival and conference.

A National Socialist black metal festival in Kiev is much more than just music. pov.international. 2019.

The Militant Zone is housed in the Kossack House, located close to Maidan Square, where the revolution broke out in 2014. The house is the center of the Azov Social Corps, a subdivision of the far-right National Corps party [...] The National Corps is the political arm of the Azov Movement, an umbrella organization based on the Azov Battalion , established as a paramilitary army unit in 2014, fighting Russian-backed separatists in the eastern part of the country, where the Ukrainian army lacked strength to defeat himself. In the same year, the unit was incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard. The battalion was established by a well-known neo-Nazi, Andriy Biletsky, who is today the leader of the party. He managed to attract neo-Nazis to the army, which also had fighters from other countries in their units. [...] In 2018, the US Congress decided that Azov should not receive a share of the funds with which the Americans support the Ukrainian army, among other reasons, because Azov has expressed himself as anti-Semitic.

One thing that stood out to me is that several sources mention Nazis moving from Russia into Ukraine (an action this Neo-Nazi festival itself took as well). Another is the international networking and recruitment efforts of the Neo-Nazi scene in Ukraine. What surprised me as well was that the Neo-Nazi Azov Batallion was incorporated into the Ukrainian national army well after it was known they were Neo-Nazis. Moreover, there's seemingly no push-back or prohibition of not just the ideological recruitment, but the international involvement and gathering in Ukraine.

So do all libs share one singular brain cell collectively?

Do all libs share one singular braincell or are they being deliberately obtuse?

Ron Pearlman, the union man, speaks out on WAG-SAG strike.

So like, in my danganronpa fanfiction I've sort of hit a dead end, as everyone hates everyone else for being different ideologies. I want to have a scene where Pavel convinces them to put their differences aside temporarily so they don't all get murdered after the first class trial, but I feel like that would be pushing the apolitical "muh politics bad let's all be friends line." However, the alternative would be him just sitting in his room all day thinking about shit until somebody dies.

Any thoughts?

This is so cringe. Idk how the dronies who support this even watch.

On lemmy.world someone was clamoring about China and their 'conditional loans'

I invite you all to read this magnificent book about how the IMF creates debt traps for developing countries in order for capitalists to privatize resources and prevent countries from having any semblances of democracy.

Confessions of an economic hitman

Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg, also known as GtG (abbreviation for "Greta the Great"), is a Swedish revolutionary communist leader. She was one of the main figures in the movement for neutralizing imperialism (MNI), and is one of the leading politicians in the multipolar world order (MWO). She had a key role in the partial recovery of Europe's sovereignty after decades of vassalage to the United States of America. Greta is also an environmentalist, and is known for the creation of the "Program for sustainable and just society". She is the author of the books "We need red to protect the green" and "Why we need to overthrow capitalism to save the Earth".

GtG is known for her direct and impactful statements in public speeches, addresses and summits. One of the most notable one is "How dare you tell us how to rule our countries when your own country has the highest debt and one of the highest inflation in the world". This was said to American president John Dickanhaughty during the third Euro-American summit. She said the phrase after the American president tell in a way that she considered "annoyingly condescending" that the socialist countries in Europe are, in John's words, "dangerously moving away from the correct form of democracy".

Greta started her career as an environmental activist. But she gradually moved to the sphere of politics. Her political ascension was initially aided by the empire, which saw her as a suitable ally in its agenda. But when she became a very successful and established politician in Europe, she broke up with the empire and revealed that she was actually a communist from the beginning. Trevis Tuckerson synthesized this cleverly: "GtG tricked the imperialists into believing that they were using her, when in reality she was using them to get funding and popularity".

GtG's successful socialist system applied in Sweden was used as a model for other European countries, such as Serbia and Greece.

A remarkable curiosity is that Greta almost always uses red clothes. She considers red "the leader of all colors" and "the optimal complement for the green of nature".

So I don't have a video, translation or pic, but I heard it in background while someone was scrolling Facebook throught their phone, hear me out: Some Serbian self admited ''geopolitician'' and conspiracy theorist(he admited it himself) said this:

That atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima just because THERE WERE ORTHODOX JAPANESE(which became the way they are because they were '''''brought on the right way'''''' by Russian Empire) living in there and that was an attempt to genocide them just because they are Orthodox because the ultimate plan of USA or whoever is to genocide specically Orthodox Christians............

I, I... I can't even make my brain function normally for the whole day... Anyway, I'm done for today and I will probably be gone for the next couple of days because I can't anyway that's it for now, bye..

Maybe anime wasn't a complete mistake after all
