I been hacked. All my democracy gone
I told them that what they called Western hegemony is different from the rules based order. They said the rules based order is Western hegemony. And I said I agreed. That is what I am saying. Real Western hegemony is a rules based order. And they said yes, that is what we are trying to get rid of. And I said no, but we don’t even have that right now. We need more Western hegemony. And everyone at the same time was like “nooo” we are socialists, we are against Western hegemony. Socialists oppose Western hegemony. And I said but not social democrats. Social democrats are the socialists who support NATO.
And I saw someone accuse my post of strawmanning.
Someone needs to tell the russian bot farms that they should target a site with more users lmao
Why invest in democracy when you can invest in democracy manifest?
Thanks for reminding me to go watch this video. Its been too long.
Libs know exactly ONE thing about history - that Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler by letting him take the Sudetenland, and it didn’t stop him - and think it’s some universal truth that applies in every situation.
That exact analogy has been used by high ranking US officials to justify nearly every conflict since the WWII, including Korea, Vietnam, and the War on Terror.
It’s also not true at all, i.e not a fact. Chamberlain wanted to collaborate with Hitler, not appease him.
Of course this is only surprising to Liberals who can’t imagine why the leader of the British Empire would be a fascist 🤔💭◻️
etc etc etc fucking etc.
Suck. It. Bitches.
people who type like this deserve gulag
It’s such a perfect line because it reveals their total neoliberalization, the entire monstrous, bloody affair of war is justified by a potential Return on Investment.
If Ukraine isn’t open to Western investors then maybe Taiwan won’t be either. Then South Korea. Then Poland. How will my boss’s boss make a steady 15% on his capital if that happens?
This is an investment in democracy.
next comes Taiwan, South Korea
Ok. Cool, good.
Nooooo south korea must hold out against the evil wicked satanic north
thats why their president wants everyone to do 60 hour work weeks, so everyone can work extra hard for democracy!
In South Korea you have the freedom to work 60 hours, but In North Korea, all jobs are banned except for dusting the Kim Jong-un portrait. If you are found doing anything else, you will be executed for 12 generations.
how has media so successfully gaslit people into believing that the ukraine was ever even successful at being a liberal democracy? i guess all that rampant corruption that was covered by liberal outlets suddenly stopped being a thing when the SMO started
I doubt most of them knew Ukraine existed in any real sense. All I knew about Ukraine when things started to heat up is that it used to be part of the USSR and there was a revolution there in '14.
was a revolution there in '14.
was a
revolutionviolet overthrow of a democratically elected government by torch-wielding neo-nazi thugs in '14FTFY 😘
can you explain me/link me to something that explains why you see it as a coup?
This is anecdotal but should be enough to get you started at least
thank you!
Democracy sucks. You want the hivemind of neo-nazis voting in legalizing a random crime “for teh lulz” or voting in a random genocide? No thanks.
That’s not really a criticism of democracy but a criticism of the absolute stupidity of Nazism and white supremacism. Sure, if Nazis become the majority, then they would rule a democratic society. But they can only come out of mommy’s basement so often…
It’s a criticism of liberal democracy, and a fair one at that, because those will always be ultimately ruled by the wealthy elite. Hence the term dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. It’s why abortion is once again illegal in much of the US, it’s why the US doesn’t have universal healthcare despite it being very much wanted by a large majority of the population. It’s why France is still upping the age of retirement despite essentially no one wanting that and has become a de facto police state to suppress that population from protesting it. Nazis absolutely do not have to be a majority for a liberal democracy to quickly become a fascist state.
Democracy is when you expand NATO to encircle former soviet nations, and basically tell them outright “if you don’t join us, willingly, and allow your economies to get privatized, deregulated, and hollowed out by foreign direct investment and IMF loan debt, you’re gonna get balkanized” and then proceed to use one of the most traumatized and nations in Europe (Ukraine) as a staging ground for the CIA to send millions of dollars to reactionary militias so they can start a civil war by burning a bunch of separatists in a union hall to death, and then proceed to pit former soviet nations against each other in a completely avoidable and unnecessary war… and the more you do all that, the more democratic it is.
something something international rules based world order
