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

        If you are supporting Russia in 2023, you are pro-imperialist

        This is not an opinion

          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.

                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.

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

                So Russia specifically trying to annex warm water ports and other vital infrastructure isn’t because they want to expand their influence and power (ya know, imperialism) it’s actually because they don’t like NATO, and Ukraine (not being a NATO member) is naturally the perfect place to invade to hurt NATO?

      One of those empires is worse than the other.
