On a case-by-case basis I can strip every one of those flags away from libs except NATO and Ukraine. Usually stemming from a deep immovable hatred of Russia and China. Not sure how to make headwinds there without explicitly calling them racist because that’s how they sound
I genuinely thought NATO shouldn’t be too much trouble as the libs I know barely have any idea of what NATO’s history is and it should be a simple matter of teaching them but nope, the Russia hate is too strong.
The tides are changing, I see. Or the Americans are asleep, lol.
Or you’re in an .ml community which has a larger proportion of people who agree with the sentiment in this meme than lots of other instances.
Plus some people who don’t share those beliefs have probably blocked the instance, so there’s likely that bias too
Even then, even then… but perhaps you’re right and I’m being too optimistic. 🥲
Ukraine–the county literally being invaded by Russia–is an imperialist, war mongering tyrant? Get the fuck out of here with this slop. Could’ve just left it with the main flags, but throwing Ukraine’s flag in there is legit braindead Chinese/Russian trolling.
Ukraine isn’t imperialist; it’s a vassal of US empire.
How would you come to that conclusion?
“How can they not be a Good Guy if they’re fighting a Bad Guy!”
Liberals continue to get there politics from capeshit.
Chinese/Russian trolling.
Just openly admitting that you see all foreigners as interchangeable villains.
Yeah not sure what Ukraine is doing there, clearly a troll. But not even the Soviet Union, China, US, UK all the other does not excuse them from their atrocities. They are all bad, it does not matter if a Communist or a Capitalist is oppressing you, oppression is oppression. Trying to excuse your oppression by referring to the other side does it too is not a valid argument. People deserve freedom not subjugation
They are all bad
Good job, that’s exactly the understanding and framing that the Council on Foreign Relations wants you to have.
Trying to excuse your oppression does it too is not a valid argument.
Nobody is making such an argument.
People deserve freedom not subjugation
Ok then, that was always allowed.
Yeah not sure what Ukraine is doing there, clearly a troll.

Uhuh
You’re trying to make sense whilst on lemmy.ml. it won’t end well.
I bet your hand instinctively went to gift them gold before you wrote this

Do you think the author of this meme is calling the DPRK an empire?

Liberals will levy spurious accusations of awful things at socialist countries while ignoring atrocities of US aligned countries whose atrocities are both real and orders of magnitude worse than even the accusations.

Xinjiang is literally well built up and their language protected, Ukrainian militias on the other hand were indiscriminately shelling Russian speaking areas like Donbas and murdering people, with the government allowing them and trying to stop the Russian language from being taught and existing in Russian speaking locales; the people of Donbas before being liberated by Russia (they actually celebrate Russians as liberators) would’ve easily traded their fate with the Uighurs of Xinjiang while the Uighurs absolutely would not, which should tell you enough about both regions.
No that’s quite literally the current example happening right now. You are the person the meme is depicting. You are acting it out word for word like a reflection in a different medium.
You’re absolutely correct but not in the way you think
fake atrocities
