It’s like saying cancer is worse than AIDS.

The US is absolutely massacring its own citizens along with people all over the globe, and has been doing that since time immemorial. The US runs a literal torture camp on the territory it annexed from Cuba. The US is a home of the Alligator Alcatraz. ICE goons are literally killing people in broad daylight. Stop with this idiotic narrative that the US is entering precipice of fascism. The US has always been a fascist state, German nazis were literally studying the US as an example.

And, for the sake of the argument, let’s say they were. Let’s say everything our pedo elites were telling us about other countries was true. What business is it of ours. Surely those people have as much right to self determination as we do. Why are we to impose our broken system on them?

I think it’s really hard for people to accept that everything they believed in is basically wrong. They don’t live in a democracy, they don’t have a voice, they can’t vote their way out of the hole they’re in. That’s a hard pill to swallow for the crowd that convinced itself that they just need to vote harder and everything will be alright.

What your refer to toeing the Kremlin propaganda line is the mere acknowledgement that Russia has legitimate security interests that NATO has been trampling over. This has now been openly admitted by mainstream western media thehill.com/opinion/5198022-ukraine-conflict-disinformation/

And I just love how you project here. Expecting that the cost of the war would not be worth it is not cognitive dissonance bud. Cognitive dissonance is literally what you yourself have been doing for the past 4 years while guzzling NATO propaganda with zero awareness. And when you’re face with people who point out the obvious you lash out and accuse them of licking the boot of imperialists because that’s what you yourself are doing. It’s really pathetic dude. I sincerely hope your grow up one day.

Ah yes, the Kremlin propaganda which turned out to be the actual material reality we live in. Meanwhile, what you claim to be contradicted is the assessment most people made that it wouldn’t be worth it for Russia to engage in a war with the west over Ukraine. Nobody has a crystal ball and can predict what actually happens. We all make assessment based on what we currently know. What separates adults with fully developed brains from trolls like you is the ability to reflect back on past beliefs and adjust your thinking based on material reality.

And no, this speculation was not in any way justified at the time. This was just the propaganda trolls like you were spreading to justify the continuation of the war so you could keep jerking off to watching Russians and Ukrainians killing each other.

You are clearly unable to differentiate between speculation on possible scenarios and predictions about likely outcomes, and also the quote in German supports exactly that.

Wild how you open up with accusing people who were speculating that Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine as spreading Kremlin propaganda, but don’t apply the same standard to your own speculation.

What we’ve actually established multiple times is that you lack even a shred of intellectual integrity. The worse part is that I suspect you do this completely unconsciously. You genuinely believe everything you say here.

I’m not judging or anything, but are you just a masochist by any chance? That would explain a lot of your behavior here at least.

You’re now denying having an account on lemmy.ml? Meanwhile, the quoted text precisely supports my claim.

At the beginning of the war, you sagely lectured everyone here how the internal political conflicts in Russia would lead to a change of government and that Ukraine would only have to hold out until then. I just love how you keep digging in here. You genuinely are unable to do any sort of self criticism. Just take the L and crawl back into whatever hole you suddenly decided to crawl out of.

just because you lack any inquisitiveness on your part, don’t assume the same for everyone else

Turns out that’s going to be hard to do since you deleted your old account on lemmy.ml so we only have your more recent comments 🤷

but here we have you talking about to your earlier belief that Russia would collapse https://lemmy.ml/post/26620632/17021184

Am Anfang des Krieges gab es auch noch die berechtigte Hoffnung das interne politische Konflikte in Russland zu einem Regierungswechsel führen und die Ukraine nur so lange durchhalten muss. Aber seit mitte/ende 2023 haben sich solche Hoffnungen zerschlagen und spätestens mit der fast kompletten Kriegsmobilisierung der russischen Wirtschaft in 2024 sitzt Putin fest im Sattel.

And we both know you made plenty of such proclamations back in 2022, but I guess you’ll never have the courage to admit it.

Oh I’m sorry, I forget that you’re a visitor from an alternate timeline where Russian government collapsed, and Russia was quickly defeated by the west as you confidently predicted. Thanks for confirming that you’re utterly unable to do any sort of self reflection or admit to being wrong like an adult would. I guess one can’t engage with reality and be an anarchist at the same time. Want me to pull up some of the statements you made on this very site at the start of the war?

Sure, I was wrong about that, and I explained my rationale for why I thought that. Being an adult, I have no problem admitting that I misunderstood the situation. Now, are you able to do the same, or are you going to keep deflecting like the troll that you are?

Oh really, so you admit you were completely and utterly wrong regarding how the war in Ukraine will turn out?

when you definitely know what false equivalence is 🤣

that’s literally the whole context of the thread that you replied to, I guess this bot has a really small context window 🤣

Seems to me that once you reach raping children stages there’s no need to split hairs further.

no, he’s actually both wrong and dishonest in making a false equivalence there

Epstein was just a harem manager for the rich fucks who continue to run around completely unaccountable. Meanwhile, others already pointed out your attempts to spread misinformation here. I guess carrying water for the empire by trying to do the whole both sides bad is really the core identity for anarchists.

Oh look, on of my favorite trolls crawls out of his hole again after long slumber. Last I checked, Beria was executed while your oligarchs continue to be untouchable. Thank your for providing us with a concrete example of the Soviet system being superior.
