Yeah I just couldn't see what the fuss was all about. I'd rather rewatch Nickelodeon's Space Cases lol, they at least did some relevant social critique on what it's like to be part of a formerly enslaved population.
I think the weirdest thing about Firefly was that the characters are slinging around Chinese phrases, but there's not one Asian character in sight. Also thought it was weird that the people in the outer territories are apparently all voracious cannibals, seemed kind of problematic in a racializing kind of way.
Eventually I put two and two together and realized that's where they are, Whedon decided that's where all the Chinese people went, they're the barbarians in his universe lol
Soviet Union strikes back from beyond the grave

Just to piss people off and get them to waste their time basically
Typical whataboutism from a centrist liberal tankie!!
No I think they mean the 2016 Democrat primary and the subsequent election
There are some missing pieces that would be necessary to recognize them as fully imperialist. Imperialism also involves export of capital to subject countries in order to turn them into export economies for the imperialist. It also involves the imperialist countries competing to divide the world into more or less mutually exclusive spheres of exploitation. To my knowledge, Russia's economic mode does not principally involve export of capital or maintaining any neo-colonies.
Russia is locked into a bourgeois political economy and its principal mode is industrial capitalism. It has not (yet) made the qualitative transition into the imperialist mode, which isn't to say that it could not do so or lacks the necessary preconditions. My understanding is very basic, I'm not claiming to be an expert on this topic, but hopefully that helps explain why people jumped on your rump about this.

Regardless, you've just confirmed that you are disgusting. No, I do not take any thrills from watching the slaughter in Ukraine. You've told on yourself.
