I don't want to hear about how your Wehrmacht soldiers are just following orders. Fuck the US Army and fuck the troops, too. Death to AmeriKKKa, death to "Israel", death to the west.

If they wanted to live, they shouldn't have signed up to kill people for the empire. Instead of following orders, they can refuse them. Yankee nationalists cry about it in the comments.

Guess at least it's good to see there isn't any difference between Americans and Russians after all.

The difference is that Russia isn't trying to control the entire world. Hence "the empire".

Edit: America is the primary source of suffering in the world, along with its allies. I don't really care about Russia and bringing it up is a weak deflection.

The only conflict that matters is the class conflict. Everything else is a distraction. Eat the rich.

Great slogan unfortunately not how it works in the modern reality of imperialism and neocolonialism, the class struggle can only truly begin after the premier contradiction of national liberation has been resolved.

I agree, I just like to remind people what the end goal is.

It's hilarious when you tankies from the west, sit in your western built basements, raging about the west on your western tech....just move. I'll buy you the plane ticket, russia is dying for people to move there. You and cowbee both.

I'm not disagreeing with the opinion that imperialism is one of the biggest large-scale problems facing humanity, and that the US is the current worst offender.

I'm just pointing out that at the root of imperialism are a few powerful people attempting to rule over the rest of us. Tech-feudalism in the digital world is another huge problem, as is the rise of fascism. And they all come from class warfare, at least in my humble opinion.

But I am also not pretending to be as informed on history and current events as many other here, and I am no attempting to lecture anyone as if I know better. That would just be decisive and counterproductive.

Made in China

You criticise society yet you participate in it curious

Was your brain surgically removed as a child?

Ruzzia

Why did you pick Russia over China, Vietnam, Laos, DPRK? Russia isn't socialist and there is critical support for them at best.

Also preempting this I am Chinese, I live in a Chinese built house, typing on a Chinese phone, does that make my criticism of the genocidal imperialist Euro-Amerikan empire more valid?

the lib got scratched

Thank you for listening to me when I said "Yankee nationalists cry about it in the comments", that was very polite of you.

Alhamdulilah I am not in the West. My car is Chinese, my laptop is Chinese and my phone is Chinese.

More patriotic corpses for the blood magic god & his shareholders

I own very little, but it's all made in China or locally. And yes, if I was living in the core and able to move, I probably would move.

I don't blame anyone for trying to get out. When I was younger, I always thought I'd get out at the first sign of trouble, but now that I'm older, I've realized I can't bring myself to. Even if I could escape, I'd be leaving friends and family at the mercy of whatever comes next. I don't know that I'll survive the next couple of decades, but I'm trying to make peace with it.

Made in China

Yep, kinda sounds like your utopia abuses it's people....

I'm not the one who spouts bullshit propaganda all day long.

Lol just giving you options. You're more than welcome to ask for a DPRK ticket as well... I'm sure they'll give you a ticket to die in a meat way in Ukraine.

Also preempting this I am Chinese, I live in a Chinese built house, typing on a Chinese phone, does that make my criticism of the genocidal imperialist Euro-Amerikan empire more valid?

Nope, just makes it even more hilarious because you're still here in the west when it sounds like you can naturally move back to the warm welcome of the CCP.

Lol

And you think china is a socialist utopia... again, I'll buy you a plane ticket. It sounds like they'll take care of you just fine since western nations are just shit holes.

Sure thing, so you want that ticket?

Nope, just makes it even more hilarious because you’re still here in the west when it sounds like you can naturally move back to the warm welcome of the CCP.

I'm in China dipshit what part of Chinese made house did you not understand.

I’m not the one who spouts bullshit propaganda all day long.

Actually lmao one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.

Yep, kinda sounds like your utopia abuses it’s people…

It was so abusive when the government eradicated poverty, invested hugely in a world class public transport system, electrified and modernised rural villages.

You don't know shit and should shut the fuck up. Chauvinist ass crackkker. Can't wait to piss on your empires grave when you return to being a serf to your pedo overlords. 🤣 👉

It seems this thought-terminating false dilemma is evergreen

I’ll take you up on that. A ticket to Scotland is much cheaper and I can get citizenship there. Put up or shut up, get me out of this stupid fucking country and I’ll stay gone. We both win.

It's hilarious when you neoliberals of lemmy, post on your communist-built platform, raging about communists on our communist instance... just move. I'll send you the URL, reddit is dying for people to move there. You and SatansMaggotyCumFarts both.

No one’s calling it a utopia but you, over and over again.

It's crazy to cry about a school full of Iranian kids getting blown up but laugh at a base of 28 year olds trying to escape poverty who are going through the same thing. Did we also magically forget about Iran killing all those protesters? You all are so divided and engrossed by political parties that you refuse to see the human aspect of this shit.

Getting desert storm v2 before GTA 6 btw

You do realize that Iraq and Iran are not the same country, right?

Whoops fixed it. Thanks

Soldiers in a foreign country getting bombed is not the same as students getting bombed. The US doesn't even have a draft, they chose to participate in a war of choice.

Did we also magically forget about Iran killing all those protesters?

A reputable non-western source please.

Its isnt crazy at all, one side are innocent kids and the other signed up to rape and kill them for money

It’s crazy to cry about a school full of Iranian kids getting blown up but laugh at a base of 28 year olds trying to escape poverty who are going through the same thing.

mask OFF

Have you ever met soldiers? They’re literally just normal people. Saying they chose war is like saying that a coal miner choose to get black lung.

War is literally the purpose of being a soldier. The purpose of coal miners is to get coal out of the ground.

I’m in China dipshit what part of Chinese made house did you not understand.

The funniest thing about these types of people is that they're so completely unable to conceptualize the existence of people outside "the west" that you can tell them "I'm Chinese and I live in a Chinese house" and they will still insist you're "in the west".

cry about a school full of Iranian kids getting blown up but laugh at a base of 28 year olds trying to escape poverty who are going through the same thing

Yes. People are more sympathetic toward LITERAL CHILDREN than 28 year olds who signed up to be a soldier and HELPED CARRY OUT the murder of said children. You figured out basic human emotion and empathy, congrats.

1. We're just exercising Western freedom of speech.

2. Russia's not socialist. Either you still think Russia is the USSR or you're insinuating every socialist is apparently a Russian shill.

3. This might surprise you, but immigrating to socialist countries like China, Cuba, Vietnam, etc from the West is not as simple "just buy a plane ticket there." They're not exactly crazy about a bunch of Westerners moving there after all the West has done to them. You don't get to "just move" to whatever country you want, you have engage with their immigration system, get a visa, get a work permit, etc etc, you know, the same things immigrants to the West need to do.

4. Even if you do all that, you're still not entitled to immigrate to a country just because you want to or because you ideologically align with them. You generally need to have a skill that the country you're immigrating to has a demand for and can't fill with its own population before they'll let you move there, you know, exactly like how immigration to the West works. I'm sure there are MANY people here that would love to live in a socialist country. Physically being able to go there is not the barrier for them.

This reads like satire, how are you for real

"silly westerner, thinking their house is made in China!" - that person probably

Nope, just makes it even more hilarious because you’re still here in the west

Dumbest person alive
