It’s only surprise to those who constantly forget or ignore the overall philosophy of this conflict - weakening Russia by using a disposable proxy; war for war’s sake, not for victory. Weapons cost something, cannon fodder is cheap given there’s a puppet regime that will supply it 24/7.
“Lib purity” is not being against a guy who’s hard right?
No. “Lib purity” is dismissing all information from a source you disagree with, even if some information coming from them is factual and truthful, specifically because they’re a chud. I stress again - we are against the guy, overall. But just because HE said something does not make that something untruthful. We CAN engage with the information critically. We don’t live in a world where every source is a ML and we can just consume information without fear of it being compromised. It is no reason to not post good bits. And by the way, I watched the video - there is nothing reactionary in it. If there was - I’m sure there would have been a disclaimer.
Imagine canning Lenin because he supposedly had some socially conservative takes.
We did not ignore completely what you were saying, we addressed your issue with not posting Berletic’s takes on Ukraine and explained why this sort of thing is dogmatic.
The New Atlas states that some reactionary military government is good actually
Then no one is going to post that. We’re only posting that we deem useful. In any case, most people on this instance are capable of dissecting reactionary bullshit. And, you should not take anyone’s word uncritically, even if it’s coming from Marxists - no one knows everything, everyone can make mistakes.
if you’re just going to completely ignore everything I’m saying
Interesting. Multiple people explained it succinctly, but it is us ignoring you and not the other way around. At the very least address the counterpoints presented to you.
Disclaimers are good and useful, not posting anything because chud is dogmatic and unhelpful.
We’re not posting THAT. No one in their right mind would post shit like this, except maybe in “Shit Reactionaries Say”.
As for this whole argument… It is incredibly dogmatic (as in “lib purity/moralism”) and unhelpful. I do not give a damn about what this guy’s chud takes on vaccines are, we’re not posting his videos to promote his channel. I for once care about primarily two things: 1) “what effect does a specific article or piece of work have on the people, what sort of message is it trying to propagate?” and 2) “Is it in any way useful for the revolutionary cause?”
If answers to both of these questions satisfy me, I’m probably going to be fine with it. And I don’t think MLs should be engaging in this sort of ultra-left purity shit. Information is information, even if a chud presented it. It’s everybody’s job to critically assess it.
And, since it’s impolite to say bad things about dead people, there’s no “share a cauldron with Kissinger”
Very good post. I saved this for later, when I write my own works on the issue - it’ll come in handy. Thank you
Me and my friend I am slowly getting radicalized
In other words, “Krynki 2 - explosive boogaloo”
reading Killing Hope Wait till you hear about… Oh… Oh god… Tens, hundreds of coups…
It’s hard to name another empire that cumulatively did as much damage to humanity as the US of A.
I really hope he does this.
Critical support for Trump and the US’ self-inflicted damage.
but it’s clear that to a large extent, the Nazi former-paramilitary factions (now legitimized in the military and in govt) have significant influence and only Uncle Sam can get them to back down
In their own words - “we’re 10%, but we’re the decisive 10 percent”. They absolutely do have control over the government because their people infested said government
They’re too valuable to send to the meatgrinder
Precisely, precisely
how many of the original Nazis who were gleefully killing civilians in Donbas are actually still around and managed to avoid being sent into the meatgrinder?
They are being actively spared, actually. The 12 separate brigade - the notorious Azov neo-Nazi special forces have been chilling in forests near Kupiansk for a very long time doing virtually nothing, they are rarely asked to do shit, if ever. The 3rd separate brigade (also Azov Nazis) is just a TikTok media brigade - when they sent them to “stop the collapse in Avdeevka” they straight up refused and ran.
Something something paper tigers. This human filth can only larp and harass the unarmed
The problem is not the headline but western liberals who have a strong tendency of rejecting their own capitalist propaganda media once it finally starts to acknowledge reality, at least in part. To them everything that doesn’t conform to their pre-manufactured beliefs is “Russian propaganda”
Wait 'til you know that he also writes for Ukrainska Pravda and is also a secret advisor to Elensky
Closer at least in a sense that “it wasn’t an oopsie” and “an accident”. Anyway, what do you want them to do, admit it was plainly squashed by a Russian missile while being hidden in a hangar? That’s not how western capitalist propaganda works. Of course they’re gonna have to spin it
Now we’re closer to the truth
Holy shit what a cute-looking animal. The more you know I guess
Rest in peace, knowing that the zionazis will know no rest and no peace.
