          What is the post talking about Russia or France?

          This is pointless if you feel so entitled defending an imperialistic nation just for the sake of being against the West then please keep that crap on your instance.

              You. You’re trying to change the subject from russia to France in order to defend an imperialistic country. Which is what you often do. You’re in like every other thread that’s criticizing russia or china

                  I’m glad you asked!

                  Defending China saying that allegations of Genocide are just lies

                  Defending Russia’s ludacris negotiation demands

                  Defending North Korea

                  Stalin wasn’t that bad of a guy

                  Standard ableism about Soviet Russia

                  I could keep going all day. You don’t strike me as a bad type but I cannot allow utter rubbish to be thrown around like that.

                  The world is not as simple as US/West bad Russia/China good or vice versa. There is a significant amount of nuance that you need to find here.

                    the thing you don’t seem to realize (or want to, since i just noticed you are french) is that france is doing maybe centuries of imperialism, death and oppression so far. way worse than anything russia ever did. so you just pulled threads from months ago, to null the criticism i made in this one, and hopefully ‘out’ me for being either naive or a tankie? talk about whataboutism.

                    what i mean, IS north korea bombing the rest of the planet like the US is? i’m not even talking about soviet russia in the last thread you linked…? i’m sorry but it does seem to me like you just went through my post history looking for anything that might diverge from western narrative.

                    i hate being put in the position to defend modern-day russia because contrary to peoples opinions of mine, they suck. but when the french oligarchy’s mouthpiece is trying to pin them as monsters i can’t help but think its very hypocritical at best.

                    its not about good and bad. the damage is not even comparable.

      Afrikans. You don’t even want to name exact countries where russia and France clash politically and economically.

      Because it would open up discussion of russia being as imperialistic NOW as France was half a decade ago.

      And oh, they are arming the opposition. What USA has been doing in countries they want resources denied or exploited.

      You know. Imperialistic shit.

      Fucking Afrikans. Mr socialist.
