Nope, this was reality (not “the story”) all along. Considering that it’s known nazis who were running the ethnic cleansing campaign, it’s pretty clear that you can’t have one “goalpost” without the other. The fact that this is the first time you’ve heard this and think it’s moving of goalposts really speaks to your utter ignorance on the topic. But I realize most westerners are completely ignorant on the topic sadly, seeing as the “pUtiN BIG MEANIE RuZzIa is EBIL dictatorship! Poor smol bean Ukraine!” narrative is the only thing that’s allowed through the propaganda filter there.

Spoken like someone who clearly has zero knowledge of actual history. Especially considering a large part of the reason why the coup government in Ukraine began their campaign of ethnically cleansing the eastern population of their own country was because the people living there more strongly identified with Russia, wanted to be able to keep speaking Russian without persecution, and eventually pleaded with Russia to intervene on their behalf, which Russia fortunately did. But anyone who actually understands the history of the region is a “psychopath.” lol

Yeah, the nazis and their defenders will always come out of the woodwork any time someone points out the (easily verifiable) facts regarding who really won WWII (the Soviet Union) and defeated the axis powers.

And you’re a fuckin’ clown.

you’ve become conditioned to parrot the party line and be rewarded for it, no matter how disconnected from reality it becomes.

Pretty rich coming from someone who parrots the US State Department’s line on every AES country and every successful revolution.

you need that dopamine hit of the collective praising you for owning the anarkiddies

Right, yeah, that’s sure what happens all the time on an instance where people get banned for being anti-anarchist, anti-anarchist sentiment will get a comment removed, and where a good number of the users, even some mods and “power users” are themselves openly anarchist. Yet you run a “community” that bans anyone and everyone with the slightest hint of support for those ebil AuThOrItArIaN socialist countries, and constantly post threads about how dumb and mean those theory-reading “tankies” are. Projection much?

Using language to refer to other people is one of the evil, oppressive outcomes of civilization. Just like being able to feed people beyond a few hunter-gatherers is evil and oppressive. All of this must be eradicated. Don’t you know, that’s what it means to be liberated?

Then why are you the one with mod removed comments and the one getting upvote ratioed? @booty is actually making sense.

Any person who thinks China is imperialist either A) Doesn’t know what imperialism is, B) Believes silly lies about China that are easily and readily proven false, or C) Are themselves the ones spreading those lies for ideological reasons.
