the fascist who supports fascists and works with fascists is profascist???
Anyone surprised has not been paying attention. This is the same regime that announced years ago it wanted Ukraine to be a “big Israel”, aka a radicalized, fascistic, permanently militarized and completely propagandized society in a state of constant war and engaged in a project of ethnic cleansing while receiving unlimited financial and military support from the US and Europe. Unfortunately for them, the US never had any intention of giving them that same special treatment and never will.
It’s shocking how many people outside of our bubble are not paying attention
Bro is not shocking, it is by design who are the big watchdogs of information foow in the western and colonized countries? The big tech companies. That and traditional media is always bought up by foreign or local bourgeois interests
Because Libs, dems and their socdems colleges hitched themselves on Ukraine bandwagon and made Russia the new mccarthyism. Cultural institutions associated with the soft left and further right can’t let it go because they need Russia to be the bad guy to further militarize and ally with fascism.
The US can’t even replace the stockpile of Patriot missiles let alone create another Israel in the biggest country in Eastern Europe (apart from Russia)
A lot of Ukrainians still cling to the delusion that the US has unlimited capabilities and all they need to do is somehow engineer a situation where they can convince the US to come to their rescue. Just like many neocons were convinced that if they managed to get the US to go to war with Iran it would be quickly defeated and the Islamic Republic toppled.
Nazi.world loves this article as much as the others about Ukraine. They don’t care about Palestinian lives, or Ukrainian lives. They care about optics.
Me before reading: how is that surprising?
Me after reading: are Americans really THIS mentally challenged? What a bunch of insufferable idiots.
Sometimes I think that, even here in Lemmy, Americans who should know better have a enormous difficulty to drop the hubris of being a citizen of the Empire and get they’re really fucked up. Becoming progressive doesn’t make you suddenly cured of life long propaganda and its deleterious effects.
They get their policies from their favorite streamers who are still at the edge of what cultural hegemony allows to be seen.
Or even worse, Fox News.
The baby American leftist understanding of right and wrong in geopolitics is “invaded country good, invading country bad”, that’s really about the extent of the nuance. Bonus points if the invading country is big and the defending country is smol by comparison.
Jones Manoel’s essay is so good on this: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:Western_Marxism,_the_fetish_for_defeat,_and_Christian_culture
There really is a fetishization of defending “the underdog”. So like, David in David and Goliath is somebody to look up to not because of what he’s fighting for, but because he’s so weak and Goliath is so strong and he’s trying anyway.
Another example of this is the contrast in how the People’s Republic of Korea is treated compared to Palestine. Both nations engaged in the same struggle — the anti-colonial fight for national independence. In the case of Korea, the struggle was made from a socialist perspective. Korea succeeded, despite being a country that is fractured by imperialism. It has an economy that is relatively strong, with a reasonably high level of industrialization, a very strong national army and capacity to launch nuclear weapons. So, Korea is not a defenseless nation. Palestinians are a people who are deeply oppressed, in a situation of extreme poverty, that don’t have a national economy because they don’t have a national state. They don’t have an army or military or economic power. Therefore, Palestine is the total incarnation of the metaphor of David vs. Goliath, except that this David doesn’t have a chance of beating Goliath in political and military conflict. Therefore, almost everyone in the international left likes Palestine. People become ecstatic looking at those images — which I don’t think are very fantastic — of a child or teenager using a sling to launch a rock at a tank. Look, this is a clear example of heroism but it is also a symbol of barbarism. This is a people who do not have the capacity to defend themselves facing an imperialist colonial power that is armed to the teeth. They do not have an equal capacity of resistance, but this is romanticized. Western leftists like this situation of oppression, suffering and martyrdom.
