Narri N. (they/them)

Same here, though imo first the Ukrainians would need to kick out the US/NATO-backed fascists that are pretending to be a sovereign and functioning state.

defending fascist, far-right states are we? the carnage must continue, unnumered more innocents must suffer and die before the modern liberal can admit they’ve been lied to by their own governments? i know by experience that it sucks to own up that you’ve been had (i used to be a unquestioning slava ukrainer) but admitting the problem exists is the first step towards fixing it. in the fight against imperialism both Ukraine('s current government) and Israel (the entire settler-colonial project) are deeply on the side of imperialism, as well as being absolutely fascist states. neither can bring peace for their people or anyone else involved, because they both only exist to provide war for US imperial ambitions.

oh god, another englightened centrist who’s actually just a fucking nazi. where do these breed?

holy fuck

Yes, exactly those.

Thanks. I’ve personally mostly given up on surviving all this, given the minuscule amount of local organizing. It could also be that I’ve been at home the entire summer trying to deal with rapidly deteriorating physical and mental health and thus only engaged with the locals online, most of whom disgust me, which all have had an impact on my emotional well-being. Also poverty, but that’s been a mostly lifelong problem. Shit sucks.

The “more generous welfare” has been going for a while (source: i live in this shithole), and it will keep going down as conditions have changed and imperialism has weakened. Having joined NATO just in time to witness the US throw the EU under the bus to save its own ass financially speaking, the current European conflict demands our state to increase its defence budget to 5% of GDP. The bourgeoisie government will resort to increasing stripping of social programs, and in turn drive further privatization of healthcare etc. The impotent left and other controlled opposition parties will pay lip service to reversing these policies in hopes of winning some more seats in the next election, but will never manage to do anything substantial because the state lacks the funds to pay healthcare workers (especially the nurses and janitorial services) living wages. Eventually it won’t matter, as all parties serve the same masters and clearly taking care of the most vulnerable and marginalized in this society costs too much. Russia serves as a scapegoat for these policies, as the war in Ukraine is intrinsically linked to these policies but most people will seemingly just stop thinking once the discussion reaches this part. I think there was a conscious effort by the Powers to inflate the amount of public discussion and media directly comparing the Winter War to the Russian SMO in Ukraine, in order to get more of the population on board the NATO bullshit and ever-increasing military spending (which, in a way, isn’t necessarily a false comparison; most just won’t mention the amount of fascists on “our” side in both conflicts, oddly enough). The brainwashing and propagandizing begins at birth for the contemporary Finn, and unless subjected to the monstrous true face of the “welfare state” through their material conditions they lack the capability to reach class consciousness and will be helpless against the overwhelming power of the US/EU misinformation onslaught.

i just heard in a podcast with only white dudes, so i know that i can trust it uncritically, that combumnism actually killed one gorillion of its peoples!

these (more or less) overtly fascist comments itt… jikes.

sure thing bud

but seriously: are the bougies paying you a commission to go around spewing bullshit, or you just enjoy running your mouth about places you know less than nothing about?

it’s joever, brandon

aight, bet.

“Like both of the Korea’s want”, but the southern state doesn’t, even if part or all of the people there wanted!

Like I’m really struggling to see your point here. You are just accepting the status quo, right? You go around supporting fascist states also, claiming to be better because you’re not choosing sides. Treatler behaviour.

So you decide that “might actually makes right!” and go around parroting US-propaganda while claiming to be more “nuanced” than those of us “propagandized” and “choosing sides”. What exactly do you think would change if everyone were as nuanced as you, and just accept the status quo? Are you actually for real, bro? You’re allowed to be stupid disinformed, arrogance is a choice.

What, exactly, do you think happened to all the people over which the ROK (in effect NATO) extended it’s authority after the armstice who disagreed with the apparent legitimacy? Do you not believe that there was and has been strife between the new state and its populance since the armstice? Are you not aware that the entire armed forces of the ROK are dirrctly under the US’s command? Will absolutely nothing except external condemnation make a state illegitimate to you? Who does it take to legitimize the struggle of the people within ROK for you?

when does it then, in your opinion?

you just claimed to be a “woke lefty”, and tho i won’t claim you can’t be from the global south if you say so but currently i’m leaning on you being this
