  • When naughty floppys are outlawed, only outlaws will have naughty floppys!

  • Yes, Comrade Czar! All of the People's Nobility are members of the working class!

    Turns out The Workers and The Vanguard have different class interests

  • That was widely expected to die soon of natural causes anyway

  • They're wrong with regularity

  • A form of tribalism specific to the Left known as Campism where people will justify any bullshit by people who oppose "the West" in some way.

  • Russia was definitely aware. China almost certainly.

  • Can't say, didn't bother watching either. Don't need to see it to know it's a bunch of lies and delusions, interspersed among an hours long effort to jack off his own ego.

  • I believe this is comparing the US to the Empire

  • Hell yeah

  • Zero Handlers? Seriously? I'm sure he had a team of them and that's not counting Dick Cheney who was more the President than he was.

  • Imperialism refers to a specific stage of capitalism

    Then you've redefined the term Imperialism.

  • Russia steals the surplus value for within it's borders, the US steals surplus value from beyond it's borders. Like I said, Russia does everything the US does just not as extensively.

  • but it’s a good starting point to ask ‘is this war for profit or some other reason?’.

    Always an important question to ask but if Cowbee does mean that, then they should use the modifier to signify that they are talking about economic imperialism and not about Imperialism Imperialism.

  • Imperialism is characterized by one political entity conquering or annexing thru coercion other political entities to bring new land, population, wealth, and natural resources under their control. No need to muck up or stretch out the definition.

  • That's a laugh. Putin and his political machine have expressed a desire to return to the days of the Russian Empire and has engaged in acts of conquest to that effect.

    Russia is a mirror image of the US. While Anglo-Saxons were pushing west across North America, conquering indigenous peoples, Russians were pushing east out of Europe into Asia conquering indigenous peoples. They're both dysfunctional countries with dysfunctional world views.

  • That's like an onion, just layers of naive. Russia has had imperial ambitions on Ukraine for a while and thinking that they care at all about the "liberation" of Donetsk and Luhansk is crazy talk.

  • The inconsistent part is giving a free pass to Russia when they do everything the US does just not as extensively.

  • Pre-WW2, the answer was WASPs convinced of their own greatness. After WW2 it was because the US did a good thing and let it get to their heads. To this day, I'll see Americans online see the US get criticized and pull out the old "if it wasn't for us, you'd all be talking German" line. Like dude, you're taking credit for something you didn't do, probably wouldn't do, and it doesn't justify the shitty things that ARE happening.

    And the rules based global order was a good idea that some Americans had but too many other Americans decided that the US got to have constant exceptions to the rules which makes the whole thing ultimately not work.
