Read a book, sweetie.

Biden bought their agency in 2014

Zelensky is bought and paid for, has smashed trade unions, and got into bed with fascism and is in the pockets of big money. It was never on the plan to implement the Minsk accords even though that's what he ran on to get elected.

US imperialism never wants anything good for anyone else. It isn't in its nature. There are no good guys. Just a struggle for dominance and who gets to keep everything. It's not hard to understand.

@dssstrkl

Fascism is capitalism when it can't use the liberal facade any more because it's too much in crisis. Historically it came out of crisis. Some places don't bother with the liberal facade first, that's all.

It's not worth arguing with you.

@dssstrkl

I'm just some guy.

Why the fuck would I presume to have an end game? I'm not that arrogant. The people that live there need to sort it out without a bunch of entitled pricks in white hats telling them what to do. It's not a cowboy movie.

The USSR is long gone. If Putin wants to reform the old empire that's a different question. Russia is capitalism red in tooth and claw - very different beast.

Russia is an imperialist country doing imperialist things. Including extending empire.

@skolima @snipe

When he was VP Biden spent $5bn to overthrow the government there - or did you forget that?

There was no need for any of it, but it suited the warmongers. The "good guys" hands are covered in Ukrainian blood and were before the invasion started.

@skolima @snipe

I can only speak for myself. Peace talks need to happen without the warmongers interfering. And then the pathological liars need to tell the truth for once. It's a tall order.

US and EU quite happy to spend Ukrainian lives. More weapons not the answer, if that's what you mean by support. We need to get off the escalator that ends with nuclear war.

@skolima @snipe Building an anti-war movement, like the article suggests :)

@dssstrkl

Socialists are anti-war, and it doesn't matter who the warmonger is. I didn't give Russia and China carte blanche either! Neither does Caitlin.

But you seemed to think I did.

US has no moral authority, it's an armed colonial white supremacist multinational gang. None of them do.

Tankie is just a lazy term which means you can't actually make an argument. I try to be non-sectarian and talk to and understand everybody without straw-manning their arguments.

@dssstrkl You win the whuddabout me love imperialism award for today, go with pride back to your bunker. Who needs lighting when they glow in the dark?

The source of most destruction and rapine in the world should not be immune from criticism, been at war since it was founded, been robbing and enslaving poorer peoples and countries just as long.

Tankie is a word that indicates you aren't very good at critical thinking, btw.

There is nothing inscribed upon the fabric of reality which says nations can't simply coexist peacefully and collaborate toward the common good of all beings, can't turn away from our primitive impulses of domination and control, can't do anything but drift passively toward nuclear annihilation all because a few imperialists in Washington convinced everyone to buy in.

What are we doing to the younger generations? https://open.substack.com/pub/councilestatemedia/p/what-are-we-doing-to-younger-generations?r=cfvq7&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Most people are decent, some people need to be reminded what decency is. I hope Mohamed gets better. I hope the people who grabbed the food order choked on it.

@dumbpasswordrules Actually - they often forget to disable pasting from a mouse right-click.

I have been known to directly edit the HTML too.

I was going to do some writing today and I seem to have spent the entire day trying to return a pair of boots to a company with a .co.uk email address that is actually in Switzerland and doom scrolling.

Oh, and I ate a steak pie.
