  • What is the weird childish liberal need to reduce everything to good guys and bad guys and what’s “right and wrong” (as if we, the genocidal collective west could recognize either at this point) without ever looking into the facts, the history of a place or what the people living there have decided already. This is a conversation about geopolitics, about the logical and predictable working of state machinery. “Justified” is not a word that means anything in this field. You might as well hold up everything to weepily condemn the authoritarianism of physics. Something either is or it isn’t. “Right” is a nonsense hueristic in this situation. Might makes reality.











  • Lol @ the handwringing libs who think this isn’t the foundations of the privileged world they live in

    I get it though, I grew up in the US after 9/11 so of course I was propagandized to hell and back like every other kid. The number of times i heard adults just flat out advocate for a nuclear holocaust of the middle east… When you’re so young, and so used to being given logical-sounding reasons to cheer for the imperial boot, it’s shocking to see people who actually ARE fighting for their freedoms, and doubly shocking when you see that they don’t comport to our conditioned, pampered habit of pretending to be morally better than their opponents. They don’t need to pretend like we need to, because their opponents are the people doing genocide and not some poor dirt farmers. But lest you think I don’t have a consistent stance on this, let me break it down:

    -Death sucks

    -It’s bad when families are killed

    -it’s good when nazis are killed, because then they can no longer kill families

    -Ergo it’s fine to celebrate and depict fascist death, in the same way you would depict a firetruck hosing down a flaming building; both are depictions of the saving of life.

    I’m not making an account on your instance to read and reply to anything, so know that before anyone starts going all Winston Churchill at the upsetting prospect of dead fascists.
