    “The people waving swastikas and seig heiling aren’t nazis, the people fighting them are! You’ve just been propagandized! Also you’re a filthy Russian orc and not a real person”

    Counterpoint: Brian Thompson also fits in that top right square.

    ok, he got shot by a libertarian, not a neo-nazi, but who’s counting?

    Real “our glorious empire, their barbarous enclave” vibes here. All nation states and empires suck and are bad for human rights. With the US and Russia both being the worst ones.

          This type of pseudo christian “everyone is a sinner🤷‍♂️” analysis stops short of delivering any useful or actionable understanding of what is going on in the world

            Yes, as I said, Imperial powers, which includes the entire US government. Right or center right cause there is no left.

              the key difference here is that the hypothetical-democrats actually use their leverage against the hypothetical-republicans on the world’s stage and it can result in a felix culpa for humanity if we’re lucky enough.

                I’m hoping China completes its transition to communism before any extremely business oriented actors get a hold of it. I promise the capitalists that are allowed to exist over there are plotting and scheming. I just want to see something other than capitalism get a true shot. Or something. I’m tired of living in a world where everything sucks.

                  The sooner you realize that the American capitalists want westerners to irrationally hate Putin (like this meme points out) the sooner that this world can stop sucking.

                  Understanding how the American capitalists use propaganda and controlled narratives (like how the Russian or Chinese capitalists are as big a problem for the world as the American capitalists for example) is the first step to changing this world.

                  The fact of the matter is that the Chinese have their capitalists on a leash; the American capitalists have complete control in the United States; and the Russian capitalists are such small potatoes in comparison that they’re almost irrelevant to the discussion.
