I keep seeing things about Ukrainian citizens being generally unhappy with Zelensky and their government. Hopefully the next government (which also hopefully comes into effect after the war ends) isn't just an empty shell for NATO's grubby mitts to control.

I think the best outcome of the war would be an incorporation of the Donbas into the Russian Federation (which they voted to do) and a regime change for Ukraine so they'll either be contractually bound to being neutral in international politics, or lean towards BRICS. NATO's going to try to turn Ukraine into a vassal state, and if that's the outcome then i feel horrible for the Ukrainian proletariat.

LGBTQ+ is probably the best place

pls crosspost this to Lemmygrad so it's easier to pin it there

I would suggest SRA, but you can tell with their content that they're walking on eggshells, so most of what they have to say is way too thin to be useful.

I'm not aware of a single left-leaning mil or firearms -tuber, and I suspect that's because open leftists in that sphere would be at a higher risk of death threats and investigation. If you can stomach the far-right or the right-liberal guntubers, they usually know what they're talking about when it comes to the subject matter (just know that they're going to make horrible """jokes""" or openly advocate for terrible things)

unfortunately, all of the """unbiased""" miltubers took a hard turn into NATO defending when the Russo-Ukrainian war started. And the same is true of all of the Eastern-bloc-themed guntubers, outside of the ones who actually live in an EB country... but a lot of them were pushed off of youtube by google for being Russian.

telling a white "socialist" about Che's ideals and tactics made them look at me in disgust, and later I saw that they posted on social media that they threw out all of their "commie merch".

These people are posers and nothing else, they will back the whites in the revolution.

fuckin THIS

Liberals love to boil war down to its abstracts.

War is, to them, inherently bad because of the destruction and death it causes.

They think that all you need is empathy to end conflicts, that all political issues in the world can be solved by love and understanding.

They don't care what the justifications for a conflict are, nor do they care what the goals of the conflict are. All wars are evil, all fighting is evil. The liberal is good, those who wage war are evil.

They don't care about genocide, they don't care about aggression, and they especially don't care about international treaties. They only care about empathy.

If you put a VR headset on someone who's waging a war to defeat Nazism and prevent genocide they're not going to walk away with something new. They already have empathy, they already feel for the civilians who've been caught in the crossfire. Their goals are more important than the suffering the war will cause, and as someone who makes hard choices, they've already come to terms with that.

Defeating Nazis is far more important than the rough time the war will cause for a young woman in Kyiv. And if that young woman is herself a Nazi, then her rough time doesn't matter in the slightest.

Maybe liberals should put on the headset and see what Russians living in Eastern Ukraine & Crimea have been going through under the Ukrainian government, show them what the Nazis have been doing in the Donbas. Maybe then they'd understand that empathy for Ukraine equates to sympathy for Fascism, if that empathy pushes them to oppose Russia's war.

white western leftists will literally be like "yes I'm a socialist... I just hate everything that socialism has done in the world and I'll gladly defend anti-communist efforts when they don't directly effect me"

anytime someone says "I used to be a communist" then defends capitalism, 9 times out of 10 they were a larper who never actually read substantive theory and was just angry at certain aspects of the capitalist system... which their privileges overcame, thus pushing them back to the right without ever actually learning anything.

This person claims to've "woke[n] up ... [to] look at the facts" but really they turned on MSNBC and turned off their brain.

Even if that's the case (it isn't always) it's a lot better to have a local boot than a foreign one.

Africans deserve to be governed by Africans, not politicians who turn their country over to imperialists for profit. It's much better to critically support coups in the imperialized world when they're done by local interests than it is to make blanket statements and deny local voices their self-determination.

what the fuck is up with imperialist Westerners taking stances against China, then going on diplomatic visits there.

"hello yes, I stand in opposition to your sovereignty and your authority in the international sphere. Pls be friendly wif me uwu" shut the fuck up

I hate Orwell, but man was right about the doublespeak thing.

western MSM will say "democracy" when they're talking about western leaning dictatorships, and "dictatorship" when they're talking about non-western democracies.

The only "democracy" in French West Africa is what has been built by its local inhabitants, not what the white man has forced upon them. Full solidarity with the coups, freedom comes from the barrel of a gun.
