So just 4 days ago we had huge thread about how great she is because she criticized US imperialism and immediately after that she's actively participating in the same imperialism. Also her position on Ukraine remains afaik unchanged, still supporting that fascist and ecocidal imperial puppet. How it is even possible to reconcile, is she two different people or what?

There are a lot of people that think like this. I don't know why people are surprised. My friend dated a Georgian woman who is very left wing in the states and Palestine, but supports these protests, supports Ukraine. She just doesn't like Putin.

nobody likes Putin, we just know that the United States isn't in the business of solving our problems

The man is a cretinous piece of shit, but he's not a cartoonish supervillain looking to discover the lost city of Cobra-La to unleash the Snake People on the world of Man

Calling for World War III is unwarranted

...So what you're saying is that Cobra-La is entirely undefended and ripe for the taking? I'm off! peppino-run

Like not liking Saddam, but knowing the invasion of Iraq would only make it worse?

I'm not very surprised, i still remembered that part about Ukraine, posting that as informational if someone forgot because of that thread.

This is, essentially, a liberal position.

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 day ago

Amen. It is a very ignorant position, too. Considering the amount of "slava untini" sprayed at Gaza walls.

There are a lot of Ukrainians that support Palestine as well (probably for numerous reasons, solidarity and possibly antisemitism). People see each other being bombed and sympathize with each other.

Bombing Donetsk in 2016 this is just like the Palestinian resistance

left-wing Georgian here.

I don't understand how a "left-wing" person could support these protests. The people behind them are Zionists and people who want to coup the government to estabilish a far-right U.S. puppet, as they did in 2004. And they'd gladly start another war, just like in 2008, except we won't survive this time.

The only kind of "leftist" that would support these kinds of protests is the kind of "leftist" that is really into Scandinavian "socialism" and thinks the EU is somehow "progressive".

There are a lot of people like that in the US. “Left-wing” in America but conservative to far-right in their home countries. Reminds me of an English woman living in the US who was a big Bernie supporter and favorable towards the Greens, but hated Jeremy Corbyn and supported the LibDems in the UK.
