How did Ukraine provoke them?

When media admits things that runs against their interests/narratives it is more believable than when it fits in with their narratives and interests generally yes. Is that really a controversial idea?

Russia is not an imperialist country at present, despite Western propaganda to the opposite. Previously:

Russia, if given its druthers, would be imperialist, but since it presently doesn’t, it presently isn’t. Putin tried to join NATO once, to join the imperialist club, but that was rejected, because the US wanted Russia Balkanized & plundered instead. Russia has figured out it’s better off allying with Global South countries than attempting imperialist adventures upon them. And this war has accelerated that allyship.

And while Russia does have a few neonazis, as most countries do, they don’t hold a candle to the scale of Ukraine’s.

here you can see the brain of a liberal under spontaneous combustion when reality hit em

That’s your reply lmfao?

Engage with at least one source.

What’s the problem? It’s literally full of sources and documentation that counters your worldview. How is it too much to present that? Just want to keep you and your thoughts inside a bubble?

Hitler particles off the charts

You talk like a bloodthirsty redditor who will treat these serious topics as just another debatebro distraction. You are genuinely reprehensible and you genuinely need to consider how this sounds to others.

Uyghurs, to Hong Kong, and what China did to Tibet before his time (or at least, those he isn’t able to stop from knowing).

WOW, fuck you. You don’t care about the Uyghurs, how about you focus on the real genocide happening in Palestine that you consider to not be a problem at all. Hong Kong? You mean the region England took over from China with force after the opioid war that England itself started? Tibet? Which its people suffered actual slavery, frequent amputations as punishments? Which was ruled by the Dalai Lama who is also all over the Epstein files?

Genuinely, take my advice from earlier; Pick up a gun and follow your leader.

you are not a tankie you disgusting piece of shit, you are exactly the kind of person who makes a perfect nazi. they’re not openly ideological about their shit, but just coincidence every opinion you spit out of mouth is the same opinion a nazi would have. your fucking colonial project will end, the whole west will rot out, all you filthy gringos, you will not be able to steal other people’s work anymore, and you’re too deep in your ass to see you’re fucking yourself. the century of humiliation is ahead of you, you better be ready.

God damn. I’ve never seen a liberal label themselves as a tankie until now. And the reason is because you want to kill Russians. Truly child-like levels of political understanding on top of deranged violent bigotry.

actively threatening Poland

Have I missed something???

“Tankie” is just another pejorative for communist, which you most certainly are not. So you go around spouting bullshit and lies and fear mongering with war for what? Because you are a scared fool, just as these western governments want you to be. And next you’ll be cannonfodder for them. Just stop, go away.

The whole world knows what happened to the Uyghurs, to Hong Kong, and what China did to Tibet before

Previously:

The UK’s 99 year lease to subjugate the people of Hong Kong ended, a lease which had been forced upon Imperial China at gunpoint during the century of humiliation. Hong Kong reintegration after the lease expired was a foregone conclusion. The last minute, US-backed attempt at color revolution failed. It was the so-called “revolutionaries” who brought the brutality, by the way.

Previously:

The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once its efforts failed, it made lemonade out of its lemon by concocting and promoting a genocide narrative.

The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same ones supporting Israel’s genocide.

Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

I’m pretty sure virtually all of the Tibetan people are happy to no longer be suffering under theocratic feudalism. Happy to no longer be illiterate serfs and slaves living in depredation under a god-king. I doubt many of them are sad that CIA asset Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama is in exile.[1]

You are exactly who Bari Weiss and Peter Theil want every “tabkie” to be.

I’m sorry but Russia is invading Ukraine and keeps sending drones in nearby countries, including mine. That is a fact, not “talking points that the western puppets in charge are making”. Not everything a western nation says is false just because they’re a western nation. Western nations also say the Earth is not flat. So would you say the Earth is flat then? You are allowed to not trust any country, absolutely, but even if you think the West is a broken clock, guess what people say about broken clocks.

Two more things.

Firstly, being anti-Russia is not fascist. Russia isn’t even communist anymore, so even the angle of “being anti-communist means you’re a fascist” doesn’t work here. And even if Russia was still the USSR, fascism and communism are not the entire political spectrum. Under that reduction of political thought to just 2 options, that means the USA in WW2 was communist because they fought against fascists. And you surely wouldn’t claim that.

Secondly, I echo bstix’s question. You wanted Finland to ask its citizens if you wanted to join NATO or not, while at the same time saying voting solves nothing. So why did you want to be asked? Let’s say they held a vote on this, and the majority of your country voted against joining NATO and then the country joins anyway. What would you voting have accomplished then? You either cede that Finland needed to vote on this, or you cede that voting doesn’t work. Both opinions can’t be held by the same person without contradictions appearing.

An election on this issue would not have changed a thing. At the time, polls showed that 84% of the population was for joining. The decision was made by the parliament with 188 for, 8 against and 3 who didn’t care.

It’s a representative democracy working as intended. If you’re unhappy with how your representative represented your vote, you need to vote for someone else.
