When western anarchists dismiss AES countries for being “authoritarian” or “capitalist” then they are defaulting to the status quo of Western imperialism. When they say they dislike both USA and China for the same reason, they are again defaulting to Western supremacy whether they intent to or not.

I’ve had my share of anarchists that get extremely defensive over their country (usually USA) being criticized over enacting imperialism when they are criticizing AES countries and especially China and DPRK, as “whataboutism”. It reeks of chauvinism and white supremacy, not realizing that there’s an inherent behaviour of preferring their country to stay in power due to fear of “the scary Chinese” and etc.

“whataboutism”

but the vast majority are… Let’s call it not too nice

haha yes they are orcs amirite fellow racist?

Are you sure? Germany is absolutely still fascist and it has never been more apparent with their loyalty to “Israel” and Zionism. And how much they bend the rules in favour for it.

what next? the buildings are made out of cardboard and the people need to push the trains?

Oh you invented a new method of energy production? pfft lemme guess… is it boiling water? 😏

The fascists in Finland killed communists in their own country. The USSR recognized Finland’s independence.

But WOW of course you’re going to compliment Nazis. Fucking fascist.

And what makes data from Vietnam not reliable…?

are you fucking implying that the Soviets were worse than the Nazis??

I was at the “Victims of Communism” museum and personally saw the spoon, or well only half of it as it was so big it would have taken me hours to walk around it.

It would be best for you to not believe in the “great man theory”. Putin alone doesn’t just dictate everything to his will. Same belief as if Trump being killed will somehow save the US empire from fascism.

And no, Russia would not have attacked because the reason they finally intervened was from the Nazi government in Ukraine constant attempt at ethnic cleansing and provoking Russia.

The Nazi Ukrainian government kidnaps men into vans to be thrown into the front lines to die. The Nazi Ukrainian government have been trying to do ethnic cleansing of Ukrainian-Russians for a long time now.

I obviously consider Ukrainians humans and the US/EU-backed coup during 2014 is what resulted in this horrible condition. Reminder that the government is pro-“Israel” as well as a supporter of the attacks on Iran.

liberal way of saying that Russians aren’t humans

Yeah a “democracy” that allows a cabal of pedophiles and rapists dictate the country and invade and kill other people in the global south is better!

tbqh it’s kinda expensive, how about a well-built trebuchet? any overshooting is charged extra

was shoved down our throats for years

I wonder why!

lol did you just google “evil things china does” and paste the first wikipedia links you find?

https://lemmy.ml/post/46090169 - A good article on Uyghurs.

Or if you want you can ask Cowbee and they’ll happily give you walls upon walls of information and sources of actual facts on China that you can then proceed to ignore.

What are the evil things that China is doing? And on that note, what are these “lesser evil” politicians? Are you equating China as on the same level of evil as the US?

I have a question, what is your opinion on lesser evil? Is America the lesser evil in your opinion?
