Fair enough. I don't believe this is what is happening ("denazifying a NATO-backed neighbor") and haven't seen a source suggesting it is that doesn't itself look like propaganda, but I'm also OK agreeing to disagree on that. I asked only because without further context it seemed like not supporting Putin was a big component of your comment.
I understand your position now, even if we disagree on Putin also.
Yeah no, my support of Putin is critical at best, and only because Ukraine is the last piece of the puzzle NATO needs to assemble to have Russia at checkmate gunpoint. Allowing the Five-Eyed Empire to genocide more innocent civilians is not how we solve the Putin problem.
Our problem here is, we have a guy here who stands against the voice of the people, decrying populism as "a horrible idea" like all our favorite Amerikan neoliberals; replaces "the imperial core" with 'the civilized world' in casual parlance, indicating a virulent and toxic western chauvinism at best and outright white supremacy at worst; an uncritical gamer too, so I'm erring more toward the latter than the former, I could go on til Nimrod's release day honestly.
Fair. I suspect it would be interesting to discuss these things with you over a beer, but also that it's too likely to end up feeling like an argument here, so I won't press further. Thanks for the clarification.
I appreciate good-faith chatters like you. Don't change.
You too!
