    Also pretty crazy to watch a bunch of anti-imperialists laud imperialism just because it happens to be against their perceived enemies, The West. Lies in favor of Putin and against Ukraine are fucking rampant in this community, and you would think they’d be opposed to a war of conquest, but so long as The West is hurt, they’ll justify literally anything.

      “Imperialism is when a country invades another country under any circumstance” blob-no-thoughts

      I fucking hate how you libs sling out terminology you do not understand. Imperialism isn’t just a word used to describe when “bad country does military stuff”. It’s an academic term, it’s a part of capitalist exploitation, it’s an actual process, not just some word every dumbass can shit out to describe what they don’t like. Imperialism is when I fuck your mom.

      Where is imperialism lauded?

      Tho, the West which sides with Genocide and Nazis, while also being engaged in neo-colonialism, will obviously be getting more concern.

      And considering NATO surrounding Russia and helping Ukraine kill civilian in areas like Donbass with Russian speaking people, restricting Russian language n all, some people do think that Russia was baited into acting.

        Russia in Ukraine is a great example. The amount if very easily disproven Russian propaganda I see spread in here is insane, and it gets eaten up because it gives people a chance to rail against The West. And I’m not saying the railing is undeserved. I’m just saying that people lap up very obvious bullshit to get an opportunity to participate.

        some people do think that Russia was baited into acting.

        If you think Russia acted out of anything other than selfish interest, I have a bridge to sell you.

        Oh, please, if you think Russia isn’t interested in conquering and expanding, I’d say I have a bridge to sell you, but you probably already got cleaned out.
