I agree with the sentiment, but this isn’t a scientific monopoly. Socialist countries correctly view science as a collaborative process whose fruits belong to society at large. As an American, I fully understand the concern: we’ve seen how our government used a scientific monopoly, and it was to create a capitalist world hegemony that we’re still suffering in. But it’s important to remember that they’re not us. I’m not just talking about morality either: China and it’s allies simply have none of the incentives to do what we did, and many incentives to do the opposite.

The point is not gain of land for Russia but removing land from another state, as a punitive measure for trying to get away from russian influence
I started laughing here and havent stopped yet. Your explanation for the historical developments of the last few years are so stupid, so hilariously, irretrievably movie-brained in their simplicity and ignorance of material incentives, and every time they completely fall through you rubes fail to learn anything.
How many times has the Russian military “been on the verge of collapse”? “Run out of shells”? “Run out of soldiers”? How many more big offensives full of terrified conscripts with guns at their backs have to grind themselves uselessly to paste before you death cultists get it through your heads that this shit is nothing but a national, generational suicide bombing? Just one more doomed advance, bro. Surely the righteousness of our (inherently superior, somehow) troops will make up for inadequade tactics, nonexistent diplomacy, grim manpower shortages and staggering logistical disparities.
You credulous liberal dipshits stink up every social sphere with smug ignorance, and then when people push back against your unpromted chauvinistic, fight-to-the-last-Ukranian bullshit, you can only whine and complain about some tankie brigading conspiracy. Anything but your dumb ass having been refuted in the marketplace of ideas.

nationalist land grab
Is that what you actually think this is? Russia, famously lacking land.
If your “defence of democracy” requires replacing a democratically elected government with a nazi puppet regime, supporting that regime as it commits 8 years of terrorism against its minorities, and forcing it to kidnap old men to the front lines…maybe you’re not actually doing anti imperialism? Just a thought. Like when the swastikas came out and the genocide in Palestine kicked off, you should have known this.
But all that aside, why bother from a practical standpoint? The war is over. Also you will not be scaling up domestic weapon production to any meaningful degree, because we, the US, blew up your pipeline and ate your energy sector, and now Volkswagen can’t even keep operating.

Consumer brain is insidious and a symptom of a diseased worldview making us all alienated and miserable. Obviously not even in the top 50 things that are doing that at the moment, but it’s up there.
- Comment on 'Climate tipping points' could 'wipe out' UK crop growing, report warns 1 month ago:
I am talking about the British government, the aingle incestuous ruling class austerity-and-genocide machine that pretends to have multiple parties. Tories make things worse, Labour makes tissue-thin excuses to keep Tory policies, hospitals collapse and waterways fill with shit as the cycle goes round.
I’m not trying to be snarky when I say that genuinely, you guys live in a dictatorship of rich ghoul freaks, and the sooner you all stop taking them and the absurdly corrupt British media at their word, the sooner you can stop playing their rigged game.
Like…They’re just letting all the schools fall down, how many "just one more election"s are people supposed to put up with that shit?

Of course BBC can’t call a genocide a genocide without putting quotes around it. What a nakedly propagandistic bunch of fascist sympathizers. Can you imagine doing that in the 1940s? “St Andrew’s rector removed from role after Eastern front ’ genocide’ comments”.
