New to you maybe, but this is old speak. The idea that liberalism means progress and tolerance is itself a recent ideological construct emerging from America’s right wing-ultra right wing political spectrum and like all ideas that emerge to justify capitalism, it is violently at odds with reality. Liberals are currently supporting a genocide here, and for the last couple hundred years most people around the world have associated it, correctly, with rapacious colonialism, imperial domination, and endless capitalist exploitation. Now, given that Orwell was a hack and it’s good to learn to think for oneself, do you have anything of substance to say about this?

Its basically just the best way to be a large plant if you’re not gonna be a big parasitic ivy. Once your plant circulatory system gets complex enough to send stuff further away, you start getting big enough that you need hard tissues just to stop yourself from folding over.

People always say Mao killed so many people, but when pressed for how they just say “famine”. If that’s the standard, how many people does world capitalism kill? Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good🤷♂️

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.
