Bruh do you have any idea how quickly I and so many other people here would pack our bags and move to China if we had the chance

The reason why Floridians are so reactionary is that they don’t know what coats are

But it’s true, the good ending is the one where nazis win a trip to the

Reality isn’t a superhero movie, if you want to combat systems that oppress people you need to be practical and make sure that the people enforcing the oppressive systems can’t just undermine you and re-establish them, an outcome that has actually happened in places like Chile in the 1970s

You talk about Russia being a “good world citizen” as though western powers have universally dealt with Russia in good faith. You posit that Russia should turn to means like diplomacy in order to alleviate the sanctions that have been placed upon them and to increase economic cooperation with countries with are subject to NATO influences like Ukraine, but this ignores the fact that western powers have attempted to undermine Russia’s economy for their own benefit since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, as well as the fact that measures such as the aforementioned sanctions placed upon Putin’s Russia have been put in place because of his refusal to completely open the country’s markets to predatory foreign interests.

If you’re interested, I suggest you read this article (which appears to be more sympathetic to NATO than myself and most other leftists on Lemmy), since it describes the economic devastation which occurred in Russia in the 1990s, the way in which Putin’s government has kept a complete catastrophe from happening again (although I wouldn’t say that Russia’s current right-wing, hyper nationalistic model for trade is ideal or that it’s anything to strive for, since inequality is still rampant in the country), and the way in which the United States and its allies pressure other countries into opening their markets to free trade only to exploit them once they do. If you don’t have the time to read it, just know that the west’s antagonizing of Russia is the cause of the latter’s lack of diplomatic cooperation with the former, and not the Russian government’s political or economic ambitions.

Lmao everyone get ready for another thread that’s at the top of active for 3 days

Deleted already, I kinda wanted to bully them

Do you think that anti-black racism stopped existing in America while Obama was president

The response from the mod in the other thread encapsulates liberalism so well, they write as if they are more enlightened than everyone else and as if they have the moral high ground because they attained their weird ideal of a completely milquetoast centrist ideology, and then just immediately start denying the holocaust

Liberals and socdems: not even once

What movie is this it sounds lit

Real “why are the cells multiplying and building tissue without a profit motive?!” energy
