    Absolutely, I generally do not trust or support people who do things like this:

    Or do you mean the war thing?

        neonazi problem Ukraine has?

        The neonazi problem that is the government of Ukraine and is stuffing Ukranian men into vans to be sent to the meat grinder?

        Because Russia is not doing that.

          I don’t know what you’re thinking you’re doing here. My response was referring to the “toleration” of nazi groupings in the Ukrainian army, saying that yes in fact neonazis are a general problem in this war because the Russian army also “tolerates” nazis in its ranks.

          You’re responding to that by diluting the issue to something else completely, and changing the subject to “recruitment” tactics and the devaluing of the lives of soldiers.

          That’s quite a bizarre way to change the subject from nazis operating in the open in the Ukrainian and the Russian armies. I guess it’s rhetorically “effective” because now I’m supposed to respond to this other thing but it’s frankly dishonest and it’s hushing up the neonazi issue. Enjoy your upvotes I guess.

            You dummy, if both sides have a neo-nazi problem, then the side that has neo-nazi as their government AND as the military branch (AZOV) is the much, much more serious problem to worry about. Especially if that neo-nazi government and military is being aided by western powers.

            Oh, aided by western powers who also aid “Israel” in their genocidal quest of eradicating Palestine? Zelensky also said he wants Ukraine to be the “Israel” of Europe btw.

              So certain strands of campist so-called anti-imperialist discourse have actually reached the point of stooping as low as using NATO’s support for the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime to whitewash putinism as “the lesser evil”. Fascinating. You fantasize yourself an ML while parotting anti-intellectual bullshit (no, the Ukrainian government is not …neonazi, words do have actual fucking meanings) while swallowing whole the Rusich and other Wagner nazis.

              Yup, I am a dummy. I should have fucked off from this stupid thread earlier. Cheerio.

                  Sure buddy. But I never wore a mask. It’s always nice however to see the fake “Marxist Leninist” mask slip off of confident campists like you to reveal the social chauvinism that Lenin spent so much energy demolishing. 100 years ago your social chaunivistic ilk was voting to “critically support” the Kaiser’s meatgrinder while making up excuses about the British and French imperialists. Only they at least fantasized social democracy while you only have Wagner’s boots to lick.

                    Tell me, what is the correct ML position then?

                    Also campism is a meaningless word. I don’t support Russia uncritically but I do support it for its anti-imperialist role. If anything it seems like “campism” fits you pretty well, no?

                    Actually 100 years ago communists were calling for an immediate end to WW1, and Russian Bolsheviks organized against Russia’s participation in the war, while American liberals were sending Eugene Debs to prison for opposing western involvement. Also, I’ve never met a person who used the word “ilk” who didn’t take themselves way too seriously.

                    I mean when a child starts talking about their imaginary “friends”. I tend not to take them or what they say seriously. I don’t think Russians are “dastardly” (although the use of that term does fit with someone who has imaginary friends)… I think most Russians are just trying to survive like the rest of us. Now Putin there is a full on evil dictator with delusions of world domination. (same goes for Trump and Xi).

      I was following the existence of these groups for a while back in the day. Their crimes does not make an excuse to annex a country. Maybe everyone’s got that COVID brain now but if you can focus a bit you night remember that Russia keeps annexing independent countries whether or not there’s nationalist boogiemen present.

      But I’m sure foreign intervention is cool to you types, after all the US does it so it’s fine right?

        Nobody is trying to annex Ukraine dude, not before the war and definitely not now. I don’t know where you guys get the idea that you can just Say Shit and have it count in an argument, but that is not the case. This war began in part because the Russian Federation would not abide the presence on their border of a fascist puppet government of a nuclear-armed enemy coalition that has helped pillage it’s economy and kill millions of it’s people within living memory.

        Do you know what would happen if Russia annexed Ukraine? That’s right, their border would now be with Poland, a member of the nuclear-armed enemy coalition that etc etc. Except now their border would be a salient vulnerable from three sides and they would also be tied down by administering the basket case that western Ukraine has become. I am begging you people to stop thinking that life is a movie and Russians are the unthinking orc bad guys, and actually consider the strategic situation from their position. They don’t fucking want Ukraine. Not even NATO fucking wants Ukraine. Ukraine is a spent munition.

        Russia keeps annexing independent countries

        Source: my fevered dreams

        And again, this is something NATO and the US do constantly, nonstop, while accusing their enemies of doing. It’s an incredibly predictable pattern. They did in in Ukraine dude. They’ve been doing it since after WW2. Invade/coup a country on the other side od the world. Install fascists to administer it for you. Declare it an independent state. Instigate further conflict, claim locals started it. We must defend South Korea. We must defend South Vietnam. We must defend Ukraine. Bam, you are now “defending the sovereignty” of a people whose government you picked for them, and whose struggling bodies you have thrown into conscription vans for a war you started from thousands of miles away and are making bank off of. It is so very depressing that after most of a century, this trick still works on liberals, and it works because they want to believe it.

        But I’m sure foreign intervention is cool to you types, after all the US does it so it’s fine right?

          I don’t think Russians are Orcs. Quite a bit of them have tried not to go to war. Many of them keep dying for mysterious reasons. I think their leader-for-life is an ex-kgb oligarch tool from an oligarchic era and he murders any other political possibilities that try to happen in his country. It’s just weird as fuck that people defend his actions but not really when you look at the IP addresses of war pigs on twitter

          Not going to give you sources because you are a lost cause doing state shit for a state. People who know, they know. But you’re just here to lie, invent fake arguments to dunk on like a schizo, and embody convictions in front of the right people. Hope they saw it and thought you were very brave shilling for a government.

            This is the Hitler in the DNA of liberalism rearing his head in defense. You have nothing to back up the childish good guy/bad guy understanding of the world that’s all the empire equipped you with. So instead you put on both the peaked military cap and the lab coat and just start smugly declaring that people who disagree with your dumbass ideas are both enemy spies and insane. I brought analysis, you brought “You’re Russian.” Say I’m Chinese and gay for Putin next you fuckin loser.

                    But I‘m sure, other people want and need to know, as well. Bring the slam dunk, I wanna see it.
                    I‘m sure, now that you called out the mod’s illegitimacy, they‘d only prove your point by deleting your factual exposure. Bring it. Or reconsider the path you‘ve taken.
