Fun fact Tatcher and Reagan wanted to avoid German reunification at all costs.
Just accept being spied on, it’s not as if there are genocidal billionaires out there.
People like you make me sick. No wonder we are racing towards a third world war.
The Ukraine war is an imperialist war two competing bourgeoises one backed by the west the other backed by Russia are fighting over who can plunder Ukraine. There was no side worth supporting there. Also being afraid of escalation against a nuclear armed state is perfectly reasonable. A full out war with Russia that could go nuclear isn’t off the table. The western media likes to pretend their wars are about human rights and national sovereignty it’s not and the west couldn’t get a damn about either of those things, see Gaza and Venezuala. Venezuala wasn’t always as authoritarian as it became under Maduro it got worse and worse as the United States increased its efforts to topple the regime with sanctions and funding the opposition you know the normal regime change shit the United States pulls everywhere.
I dont support Russia. lol the Biden admin shot its self in the foot so many times first by refusing to pick up the phone to stop a genocide then Biden chose to run even though he was way to old. Kamala also refused to say anything about Gaza it lost her the election. I worked for those assholes for free fuck them, and any one who still sits around defending the United States as if it’s some beacon of democracy is a joke. That shitty government has me on a watch list for the crime of calling out the band of criminals and fascists that run that country.
The war could of been prevented Ukraine was offered a deal where they could of been neutral and kept their freedom Borris Johnson was sent my Victoria Neuland to scuttle that deal. Americans love war and they love boosting their military industrial complex just check how well their stocks have been doing recently. They were panicking when Afghanistan ended they needed a new conflict. Nobody in the US government gives a shit about the lives of the innocent civilians that they kill as long as it furthers their psychotic ends. I focus my ire on the United States mainly because they’re the country that is meant to hold up the international order, they’ve shown time and time again that they’ll ignore it.
Look you shouldn’t have to justify why white supremacy is bad to some one. Do yourself a favour and avoid people and places where you find yourself having to do that regularly.
The USA has no left, I can’t say I blame them because I don’t know what they could do, but honestly that a bunch of people are justifying the kidnapping of the President and First Lady of a foreign nation, by a confirmed peado rapist makes me accept the United States for what it is a rogue empire.
Edit:
I find it insane that American imperialists don’t realise that at some point in this might makes right world people won’t be bound to them, if countries are forced to choose between various authoritarian regimes what is it that makes the United States stand out from the rest of them? At least during the Cold War the semblance of freedom was required to win an ideological war. In a world where all pretence of the United States being a more responsible hegemony and free place is dropped for its allies as well what makes these people think people will tow the line?
The fact that the Biden administration spent years trying to gaslight every one about how important winning the Ukraine war was for global stability and the rules based international order, just to stick their thumbs up their asses when their dictator pulls shit like this is beyond me.
Their country is in a constitutional crisis and most people are just shrugging.
Am I going to see Venezualan flags pop up all over European capitals like I did when Putin did the exact same thing in Ukraine that Trump just did?
I had highly doubt it. I guess invading foreign countries is fine if it’s „our“ side doing it.
Im sorry the latter part of the 20th century was all about trying to avoid the whole might makes right mindset and in international politics it still should be. Wasn’t the whole justification for the west supporting Ukraine that might shouldn’t make right? The fact that people have just swallowed the might make right narrative just shows what kind of a dire situation we are in when it comes to international politics and how far standards have fallen since 2001.
Reading a pulp novel as opposed to watching 10 second video clips is in no way comparable. I went to good schools but I hope most public schools still have libraries and if they don’t where I live the library is extremely cheap for young children. Also TikTok and YouTube aren’t free FFS, they’re commodifying your data anyways I don’t have children but if I did and I wanted them to read and the place where I live isn’t giving them an environment to do that I would try to create one myself (easier said than done I know) but kids can have book clubs just like adults do I would often hang out and talk to other kids about the books we both enjoyed reading.
I remember the first time I read His Dark Materials trilogy as a kid and how much I loved it. I was able to escape to a completely different world, and it was the first love story I really enjoyed. I loved it so much I reread the books immediately, and begged my parents for the cassettes for the audiobooks. Makes me kind of sad that we seem to not value reading as a form of entertainment anymore because getting immersed in a book is a completely unique feeling I rarely get from any visual media.
My suggestion is get kids into audiobooks first and then get them reading, also don’t let kids watch tv or have a smart phone I wasn’t allowed to watch tv during the week as a kid, and I have neck problems because I read so much. Now I’m lucky if I get through a book a year.
Yeah hilarious how leftwing content is shut down on this website. I don’t care if you believe what I’m saying maybe just take note on how what I’m saying is censored by people with power.
