Are you talking about me?

"Fighting all of NATO" - as a German, I did not know that I was at war with Russia right now. Am I?

I get your anger towards the US. And probably towards the EU. Towards NATO as a whole. Our history is stained with imperialism, and we should all be working against that. Dont falsely assume that I am on the side of the empire.

But this does not necessarily make Russia (or China) some sort of safe haven. Some days ago, I had to argue with US nazis that the US and Russia are the only working democracies left in this world, and Europe is a "autocratic dictatoraship" - which is obviously BS. Our system is FAR from perfect, and we experience propaganda - as does nearly every other state. But Russia, China, and the US are definitly broken systems, and ALL of them are imperialistic. So are you telling me that you are against evil NATO empire, therefore you are rooting for the evil Russian empire?

Russia and China are imperialist countries as much as a car is an animal

Please define imperialism, explain how your definition has any analytical value, and how it applies to Russia, China, and the US but not the European bloc.

Ah, you're not on the side of the usa empire. You see that it's falling and instead make the new euro empire! With the same colonialist values, but without military power! What could go wrong?!
