        De facto support. If there’s a conflict and the West is on one side, then if you oppose the side the West is fighting you are supporting the West. There’s no secret third way that lets you keep your hands clean. You have to pick a side, and you have picked the West’s side in Ukraine.

        I guess this community doesn’t want to talk about that, though, so my comment was removed.

          This is one of the most ridiculous thought processes I have ever heard. How do you even take yourself seriously?

              I can be against the Russian invasion of Ukraine AND be against the U.S.'s attacks on Iran. Insane you think that isn’t an option.

              Keep name calling on the internet tho, love it when people do that cuz it means they have nothing else :D

      Westerners do imperialism, and that’s wrong. But westerners also say “Imperialism is wrong”, which proves that they are critically thinking.

      The Insidious Evil Easterners do double-plus imperialism, which is even wronger. And they don’t even realize its wrong, because they have been brainwashed.

      That’s why Westerners need to fight the Insidious East and defeat them. Then the people will be liberated and the West - which was only doing imperialism in self-defense - can finally enact a lasting peace that will bring about a global utopia.

      Most idiot leftists don’t get this, because they flunked out of college and don’t understand how economics works.

        Some edits? :p

        Imperialist nation states do imperialism, and that’s wrong. But Imperialist nation states also say “Imperialism is wrong”, which proves that they are critically thinking.

        The Insidious Evil Easterners Other imperialist nation states also do double-plus imperialism, which is even wrongerand that’s also wrong. And theya good portion of their citizens don’t even realize its wrong, because they have been so brainwashed.

        That’s why Westernersthe proletariat needs to fight the Insidious Eastimperialist nation states and defeat them. Then the people will be liberated and the West - which was only doing imperialism in self-defense the people - can finally enact a lasting peace that will bring about a global utopiasomething way less shitty than we what have now.

        Most idiot leftists don’t get this, because they flunked out of college and don’t understand how economics works. [perfect, no notes].

          Unfortunately, you’re just spouting pro-MAGA Populist Russian Whataboutist Both Sides Propaganda.
