Unsurprising to see the euros be salty about the defeat of nazism/fascism.
Oh fuck off Macron, you little colonist man who still runs an empire.
You see it wrong. Its not euros being salty about the defeat of nazism. Its the propaganda behind it that makes everything blury and unreal.
Ukraine had many civilians that were killed untruthfully. The media from Ukraine was a long long play from russians since 2014 to make them look like Nazis.
At the end of day, Russia killed many Civilian people, raped, etc.. It was just a war to get Ukraine as a country back after there was no Puppet president anymore
This is precisely the case. I'm sick of the casual racism and love for imperialism that even the most "left-wing" europeans will just say to my face because they think I am one of them. It is so fundamentally baked into every dominant ideology in europe that it feels like there is no possible escape.
This is the consequence of having an entire continent dedicate itself to colonialism and capitalism for 400 years. Both of these things become the total norm. People in europe don't even understand what empire is, or what empires do, even the extent of their own existing empire.
I mean, look at Macron's comments. He literally runs an old school colonial empire (that is thankfully collapsing under his reign). And yet he lectures other countries about "imposing capitals". I don't think he even realises he is being hypocritical here, because European ideology has redefined European imperialism as not counting as imperialism.
