“The law, in its magnificent equality…”

Me too, so let’s improve our aim for next time.

No it cannot, because the Ukrainian army and regime is filled with nazis that want to ethnic-cleanse the Russian speaking population.

Here is a video of a Ukrainian nazi conference on the 5th of February 2022 (!) discussing the end goal of a dismembered Russia, which these nazis expected to gain a large share of the spoils from.

I love this graph, it is an excellent graph

The ambush led to the First Battle of Fallujah, a U.S.-led operation to retake control of the city. However, the battle was halted mid-way for political reasons, an outcome which commentators have described as insurgent victory.

“W-we would’ve won if we weren’t stabbed in the back! They didn’t win, that’s the lying fake news media!”

Bet they’re wishing they still had all those guys they sent to Haiti right about now.

The Chinese Nationalists thought that military power should decide that they were in charge of China, right up until the People’s Liberation Army fucking bodied them and they fled to their little island with their tails between their legs (and then conducted massacres against the native population and anyone remotely leftist).

This “”“independence dispute”“” would have been resolved seventy years ago had the US Navy not stuck their fucking imperial beak in and stopped the communists chasing down these fascist war criminals and finishing the job.

One of the comments:

One of the things that I hate about korean reality talk shows, is that they act comedic about serious topics. Like they just refuse to be negative, as if they are scared that it will make the audience go away or smth.

“In bad Korea, the people are forced to pretend they’re happy all the time even while talking about horrible things!”

I’ve grown more and more to hate “mass mind control” type story beats, especially when the main character(s) are immune to it because they’re ‘special’.

Like, whenever there’s some kind of special frequency sound or TV image or whatever, that being exposed to turns people completely into automatons… basically the notion that human will can be completely stripped away, that ‘the plebs’ have no real autonomy and can be easily hypnotized, by special scifi contrivance in fiction or by ‘’‘charismatic leaders’‘’ IRL, which is a cornerstone of the liberal non-understanding of the history of both fascism and socialism. Hitler was just an extremely charismatic speaker who made everyone turn evil for no reason and definitely not for the financial benefit of the capitalist class, and the people who lived under communism didn’t rebel because they were just brainwashed into accepting their (what must have been) obviously miserable conditions.

The main example I’m thinking of is the first Kingsman film, which has a lot of other reactionary brainworms too, but the idea of a sound that turns everyone into uncontrolled rage zombies that attack anyone they see for no reason, and the villain is a billionaire who wants to reduce the human population so only his fellow billionaires and ‘elites’ will repopulate the Earth - and the only person who can stop him is an avatar of the most ludicrous ‘British gentleman’ lifestyle, as if the Tory peers that would undoubtedly make up this organization, not to mention the fucking royal family, wouldn’t be the first people into the billionaire bunker.

Thinking more about it, it’s pure projection - only the US ever engaged in MK Ultra ‘mind controlled supersoldier’ stuff, and in fact real mind control would be able to create the greatest possible capitalist dream: workers that work to their absolute limit and never complain or fight back. Capitalist media’s projection of it onto their enemies is the most like, Freudian-libidinal morbid fascination type shit.

How I Met My Comrades

Yeah, clearly they just post any kind of Russian propaganda over at the… checks notes Kyiv Independent

These are both from the same year (I forget when):

“You can be the next Stalin” vs “Dab on your wife with the ugliest fucking tie ever conceived”

Why are you defending the rump state of a fascist dictatorship?

I hope the “Republic of China” can someday be peacefully dissolved and the province of Taipei reunited under the mainland government.

The perfidious Russians are hiding from me on the other side of my closed eyelids

Aside from politcal compasses themselves being intrinsically stupid, especially when you transparently make your favorite section the ‘correct’ one (even though ‘authoritarian leftist’ is in general the closest to being the correct one in real life) - they’ve included the LGBT flag in the liberal but NOT the communist section, while they’ve included patsocs and national chauvinists amongst actual anti-imperialists.

It basically spells out a specific set of brainworms, the ‘social conservative’ who believes all LGBT rights are bourgeoise inventions rather than being crucial to the struggle of the working class, and who also buys in to the idea of ‘redeeming the USA’ by just turning it communist instead of needing to tear the whole thing down and build new structures in its ashes.

No, you’re right, the US keeps delivering longer-ranged missiles so the nazi terrorism can continue.

Why can’t people so close to being right just get the memo?! Why is there always a last handful of reactionary brainworms??!!

In 2014 a bunch of Ukrainian nazis couped the democratically elected government and started ethnically cleansing the Russian population in the Donbas. Some sections of the Ukrainian military rebelled and formed militia units to protect the population from being murdered by nazis, leading to a low level civil war stretching on for years. Ukrainian nazi paramilitaries continued persecuting ethnic Russian Ukrainians civilians as well as shelling Donetsk and Lugansk

During this time Russia tried repeatedly to conduct diplomacy with the nazis western handlers, the US and the UK, as well as interested third parties such as Germany and France. However, it was pointless as the US never intended to back down and continuously goaded the Ukrainian nazis into attacks on the Donbas, all the while supplying them with money and weapons. When the war seemed to be escalating to the point NATO forces might join in, Russia - understanding that any actual direct combat between Russian and NATO soldiers would lead to a global nuclear holocaust - jumped in with its troops first… after spending three days voting to formally recognize the independence of the DPR and LPR, of course, because Putin is a bureaucrat to the core and these things must be done properly.

And now, the people of Donetsk and Luhansk can live quietly without fear of nazi missiles blowing up their city centers for no reason.

I question the US’s claims over a certain region (the whole of it)

They joined a civil war in progress on the morally correct side
