    Well clearly what the Ukrainian people want matters more than what happened in a different country 80 years ago I’d say.

    And the current government took undeniable steps to both improve societal equality and to make the government less corrupt/more transparent.
    I probably wouldn’t enjoy the kind of death Mussolini had the way I do if his majority backed government increased equality, fought corruption, didn’t invade other countries and is open for democratic elections (unfortunately the regular wartime rules apply and until the invasion is fought off or at least comes to a still that resembles any kind of stability so it is expected to set out elections but there’s a plethora of historic references that legitimate this step in a democratic country).

      not my point, by far. my bad, I should have elaborate on the previous comment. the point being: the hystorical moment where you live in matters a lot in this kind of choices. NATO is always the wrong answer, imho, though i think I fully understand if people would chase any solution in order to no longer see their dears die like animals, be it on the battlefield or in their houses.

        I mean NATO was created as an answer on how to handle Russian aggression.

          nope. nato was created to balance two empires. unfortunately both of them still exist.

        NATO is always the wrong answer,

        LISTEN, people. This is the core tankie ideology. They don’t actually care about communism. They’re not communists. They’re just anti-Western.

        All the contradictions and cognitive dissonance we point out is explained by this. This is the motivating factor. The SOLE motivating factor, with various layers of denialism and obfuscation on top of it.
