I spent way too long trying to figure out how this was a political compass meme.
You don’t understand it’s only imperialism when america.
Yeltsin Shelled Russian Parliament 30 Years Ago – U.S. Praised “Superb Handling”
Americans won the Cold War, installed fascist regimes across the former Soviet States via Shock Therapy, and spent the next 30 years trying to re-colonize Eastern Europe.
We created Fascist Russia in the 2010s the same way we created Fascist Germany in the 1920s. And once again we’re profiting off the consequences, by selling weapons to Russians and Ukrainians alike.
“Ah, but have you considered that Russians are bad dudes?”
Wish someone would have told George W. Bush.
lol. brother, we are where we are because putin wasn’t formally invited to join NATO as a 2nd USA. If he had applied that would have happened but that bitch wanted an invite. that is why we are where we are.
I mean, Khrushchev offered to join NATO in 1954, back when it was ostensibly still about preventing Germany from re-militarizing.
It’s sort of a joke that NATO still even exists, given that it’s mostly just an excuse for the US to install military bases in other countries. Sure as fuck doesn’t protect anybody.
Sure. Putin is still an imperialist. The imperialist who has single-handedly decided to invade a sovereign country, killing hundreds of thousands.
Hope his boot is tasty.
US ally goes rogue. Americans re-discover their staunch commitment to national sovereignty. You could tell the same story about Saddam, Noriega, Batista, and Mobutu.
But hey, please nobody look at who is selling Putin weapons.
Telecommunications equipment made by the company of Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera is being used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine, according to a report from Hunterbrook Media. Ubiquiti is a tech company that designs and sells long-range, wireless equipment . The company, based in New York City, was founded in 2003 by Pera, who became the owner of the Grizzlies in 2012.
…
“Without Ubiquiti, these drones in Russia, the ones leading to massacres, would not work,” Hunterbrook reporter Sam Koppelman said on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast on Jan. 27. “They would be flying blind.” The Hunterbrook investigation used a reporter posing as a Russian military procurement officer to contact Russian vendors and Ubiquiti distributors. The report alleges that numerous vendors agreed to sell the Ubiquiti-produced equipment.
He’s hardly alone.
We profit off this war coming and going, then wring our hands about Evil Foreign Imperialism.
Yeah, ok. We gave him just to good a deal on ammo. He was thinking of the savings when pressing the button. It would have been the war crime not to invade at that point.
It is like saying Americans are the fat fucking slobs they are is because chocolate is cheap.
We gave him just to good a deal on ammo.
We gave him an end run around Ukraine’s anti-drone countermeasures. Robert Pera is the reason the Russian military can continue to advance.
It is like saying Americans are the fat fucking slobs they are is because chocolate is cheap.
It’s like saying Americans have been arming Russia since 2024, with the tacit consent of both major parties.
Join the fight against Russian fascism.
Sorry currently embroiled in American fascism. I’m just not taking pot shots at other leftists.
Neither are they.
Nah the amount of ansrchists attacking communists from piefed instances is insane, makes it seem like a psyop. I said it before but I’d rather team up with communists and deal with thag afterward than let the fucking fascist demons keep winning. But ya’ll do you I guess I’m sure a smaller force will hold up fine against the largest rise of fascism in history.
We aren’t attacking communist. I would be considered one. We’re criticizing Communist because they aren’t communist. But hypocritical champions of state capitalist ML. Who’s praxis is antithetical to communism. I’m not going to team up with authoritarians regardless of their cosplay. No anarchist would.
It must be wildly overblown then because I never see anyone sucking the russian federation’s dick and I’m federated with hexbear and ml. I see these posts getting spammed from the same accounts every time and all they have to say is “fuck commies”, not “fuck ml people who specifically support imperialist actions” so theres also that.
We see it all the time.
We see it when those losers deny the genocide of Ukrainians at the hands of Russia and gloat about how great it is that Russia is attacking NATO.
It must be a psyop to call yourself an anarchist and fight against the innocent people on the ground level and push Russian state talking points constantly.
That says more about you than anything. We’re lucky enough to be defederated from grad and bear who are absolutely worse about it. And I still have seen plenty cheering Russian imperialism and excusing China’s enabling of it. More than any Zionism I’ve seen from feddit.
They aren’t everywhere generally. Honestly they tend to be in their own communities mostly from my own experience. Like this one. And yes, I lament ML soiling the term communism. But, considering anarcho-communism is a fine and accepted thing. If you see anarchist complaining about communism. It’s always about ML/Communism and not communism. Or just someone sadly ignorant of the difference.
So you’re saying anarchists from Lemmy instances have inconsistent ethics? And there is no need to use ableist slus.
I went through this whole chain and this comment makes no sense. Slur? Ethics? Inconsistencies? We arent a fucking monolith dude.
It’s not called “fed” for no reason
Uh huh, hey, why are all you “leftists” so offended at a meme directly and only criticizing people that support Russian fascism?
It doesn’t call out tankies. It doesn’t sling mud at .ml or Hexbear, yet here you are, offended on behalf of conquest and capital anyways.
Weird.
So you ignore Israeli fascism because you’re only focusing on American? What an L take. Fascism is bad in all forms and needs to be attacked, not ignored to focus on whatever one affects you the most personally.
Wow, you have the personal resources to fight America and Israel? So glad you’re here dude. I only have five dollars so its really hard to fight Israel from where I am at. Can you be a doll and send a few fighter jets their way will ya?
So you’re saying you have the personal resources to fight America?
Oh wow, so you think that ignoring Israeli fascism is okay, because you have troubles in the USA?
That’s your justification for playing apologist for Russian fascism bootlickers?
Jesus H. Christ.
“Criticizing people who support a fascist capitalist state that isn’t even painted red in the form of Putin’s Russia and its imperialist attempt to annex Ukraine and genocide entire regions of Ukrainians is taking potshots at other leftists”
… maybe you should have a talk with those leftists about how leftism means not supporting fascism and genocide?
Ah, yes, that way the PEOPLE’S genocide and the PEOPLE’S capitalist oligarchy can win, which is way different from those grubby non-red painted fascists. The Uyghurs deserve it anyway, right? All glory to the PEOPLE’S billionaires!

You have all of leftymemes and the triad to shit on anarchists. This is not the space for it, goodbye.
