It is as though the capitalists intuitively understand dialectical materialism and its inherent graduality when it comes to building up movements.

Oh, absolutely. In February-March 2022 the only “allowed” voices critical of the US empire and its actions were absolute chuds or nutjobs like Russell Brand. I remember those in liberal places used to gang up on folks who were skeptical of the narrative BECAUSE they quoted Brand, of all people. Even a lot of well-meaning people fell into that trap.

You know what the funniest part is?

That’s the smallest size :D (I’m kidding, but hey - to each according to their need)

It’s only surprise to those who constantly forget or ignore the overall philosophy of this conflict - weakening Russia by using a disposable proxy; war for war’s sake, not for victory. Weapons cost something, cannon fodder is cheap given there’s a puppet regime that will supply it 24/7.

Me and my friend I am slowly getting radicalized

I really hope he does this.

Critical support for Trump and the US’ self-inflicted damage.

The problem is not the headline but western liberals who have a strong tendency of rejecting their own capitalist propaganda media once it finally starts to acknowledge reality, at least in part. To them everything that doesn’t conform to their pre-manufactured beliefs is “Russian propaganda”

Wait 'til you know that he also writes for Ukrainska Pravda and is also a secret advisor to Elensky

Closer at least in a sense that “it wasn’t an oopsie” and “an accident”. Anyway, what do you want them to do, admit it was plainly squashed by a Russian missile while being hidden in a hangar? That’s not how western capitalist propaganda works. Of course they’re gonna have to spin it

Now we’re closer to the truth

Holy shit what a cute-looking animal. The more you know I guess

Supposedly Voice of America now claims it could be friendly AD fire. Which is even more hilarious. It’s like Crash Bandicoot but “Crash Banderite”, but instead of a fox-looking thing there’s a Ukrainian guerrilla-like figure running away from press gangs and sabotaging Zelensky’s war efforts.

For the matter - the religious group in question (UOC) has not had any ties to Moscow for decades now, it is of the Moscow Patriarchate in the name only. Their “reasoning” comes down to “can’t have anything similar to the Russians”.

AFAIK they have been trying to undermine the aforementioned church for years, even now it’s not really working - people aren’t buying it, mostly.

I can access it - using a Serbian VPN.

Inshallah

Absolutely. When it comes to the US and the Ukronazis.

Except this time they’re doxxing themselves by gloating on TikTok and YouTube. Unlike the original Nazis, these ones are stupid enough to not burn the paper trail. If Russia is serious about denazification, not by bombs but, like, in general (one can hope) - it will be easier for justice to be served, at least in theory. They must not be allowed to escape to the West, lest Russia wants to find them all over the place afterwards - in Africa, for example.

I’m sorry, but this is a bit fucked up, and at the very least naive and idealistic.

they should have stood up in 2014

First of all - many of them did. Secondly - the vast majority of the people did not realize that a coup was taking place. And they were genuinely angry at the government in Kiev at that time, which was corrupt af - that is how the majority of color revolutions happen.

It is the fault of the Ukrainian people for not resisting their government’s coup to fascism

Perhaps. Although I’d say it’s sort of hard to do when you have unarmed masses of the people against well-trained death squads who have weapons with live ammo and full US/CIA backing. The people of Mariupol might tell you a thing or two after expelling the Banderites in May 2014. If only it were that easy.

You know what I was doing in 2014, for instance? Spending an entire year in a psychiatric hospital - I got hospitalized with stress-related anxiety disorder, lots of details, I won’t go into them. Point being - I missed it entirely. I didn’t even know what was going on at the time. And no, I’m not absolving myself of all responsibility - at the very least I should not have been apolitical almost my entire life. But I’ll tell you this - there’s a shit ton of people who missed the events of 2014 simply because they were too preoccupied with their miserable lives.

For being good little liberals who passively let it happen.

Need I remind you that 73% of the people voted for Zelensky in 2019, primarily because he promised to end the war in the Donbass and normalize relations with Russia? Again, it’s not like people all of a sudden want war. Keep them in the dark and in poverty long enough - and they will have no time to read a single book in years, let alone become class conscious and politically active.

its people suffering is just… I don’t care.

Gee, thanks a lot. Easy to say when you have no skin in the game.

because of Ukrainians who didn’t stand up

It never worked that way. You place the brunt of responsibility on those who have no power in the game. The Nazis did not come to power because the German people voted them in - they were forced into power. And sure, there is a certain degree of responsibility, I’ll give you that - but then again, remind me kindly - who did all the dirty work behind the scenes? Who was instigating ethnic separatism in the USSR? Who nurtured those Banderite Nazis for 50+ years in their backyard (Canada) and then started sending them in after 1991? Who invested billions of dollars re-educating the local population into being liberals - something I can attest to myself, being a product of the education system? Who impoverished said country, first with shock therapy in 1990s and then with subsequent IMF loans? Who instigated two color revolutions in a single decade? Who couped the government in 2014? Who supported the Nazis every single step of the way, gave them those shiny weapons to terrorize the people in Donbass, gave them intel and diplomatic cover, built CIA bases and biolabs to test all sorts of stuff?

How about we don’t go into the nuclear holocaust scenario? It’s not a good thing, even for Russia - to keep flaunting nuclear weapons as though you’re a gangsta waving a Glock. I understand the sentiment against the Ukronazis, and I hate them as much as you do, but what you are saying is far beyond the reasonable.
