Wars = Imperialism?

In this case they’re both true of the U.S., no doubt. But imperialism is not about “starting wars”.

Of course they aren't wars, they are special military operations 🤡

Huh. In my experience they go "Yeah but we’re the good guys! Better us than another country!" The same applies to NATO folks

they'll sometimes concede that both of them are bad, and then go back to supporting the US

What do lemmy libs not get about not being anti-communist?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Being anti-Russia and anti-communism aren’t the same thing.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

on the other hand, lots of anti-communist types think that Russia is still communist

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Whoa you said something I agree with. Wild. 😆

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

I hope you're not suggesting Russia is communist

Both are terrorists organisations disguised as a country in my book

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago
