the renaming of streets to Nazi collaborators and their celebration as heroes,
the brutal torture and murder of eastern Ukrainians since the installation of the Western approved Ukrainian government after the previous one underwent a coup following refusal of IMF loans,
the brutal subjugation and torture of minorities since the Western approved ukrainian governments
the two Minsk agreements aknowledging all of the above that the EU failed to uphold to stop supporting the Nazis,
the 8 years the Eastern Ukrainians requested Russian intervention before they did 2 years ago
ukrainian refugees complaining that they are housed next to brown folks if they get the chance to settle in western europe (like what kind of person does that after escaping war)
These are often standard operating procedures against most of the Global South (except for the last point) the only difference here is it is happening to white folks.
The thing is that I’m already. Comments aren’t really suitable for unsolicited random instructions
It’s rude to tell a bigot that they have an oppurtunity to educate themselves. As a westerner it should be their privilege to not be affected by that racism and to be called out on it the most heinous sin.
You can go educate bigots, sinners, westerners or whoever want it, I’m not stopping you or assigned rudeness to such. Education is one of the rare important tasks!
You are not brainwashed. You are not stupid. You, as a westerner, have a relationship with the global south which affords you to filter the narratives you choose to believe in.
I am asking you sincerely to engage in class betrayal on the global stage.
If there’s a slight chance you come out of this as a better human being then I’ll take that gamble.
uh-uh and it’ll take even more time to look up all the other stuff. it truly is one of times
Best not to bother then.
For the average Westerner the ideal anti-imperialist is the one that doesn’t fight back. Those ivory towers are built on the bones and blood of the Global South.
If all the above is too much for you then I would recommend Against Empire by Michael Parenti. It will quickly cure any both-sideism.
Idk why MLs even bother trying to convince Western chauvanists. Let the contradictions of their societies turn them to socialism, and if not, leave them to their fate. Why are third worlders expected to convince the West that the way forward is socialism?
oh no you must’ve mistaken. it’s anyone’s (you, the audience) own choosing if they take their time and on what and I’m not even here, not needing to go back to a journey already passed
Huh did I miss something, what’s with the sudden rudeness. Although I see this from the apps reply portion so I might be missing a fuller context outside of it. Don’t remember posting anything other than easygoing commentary
It would be worthwhile looking up:

Maybe I’ll repeat just this once? You’re barking up the wrong tree. The asks had been fulfilled already, don’t worry

Best of luck on your time management.
Oh no issues there
So just voluntary ignorance.

Enjoy Parenti then.
