Very unserious understanding of world politics.

Of course they’re viewed more positively in middle income than high income countries. The high income countries are all part of a global military alliance focused entirely on destroying communism and have fed their populations anti-communist propaganda for decades.

They’re one the main geopolitical adversaries of the political block that all the rich countries have formed, whereas they are investing in and helping develop poorer countries.

It is an absolute laugh though that all the countries that destroyed the Middle East over the last 30 years think China is a threat to world peace.

Democracy is when everything sucks and gets worse every year while centrists keep eyeing Nazis as possible better allies than the left.

If you force the government to improve society in any what you’re an “authoritarian” (oooh, how scary. btw, I’m pretty sure “authoritarian” as a cudgel against the left that equates them to the right is against board rules).

Peaceful revolution is when you burn 48 people alive in a building while a mob of neonazis keeps them from leaving.

This is a good bit.

Why is it necessary to cancel all consular services for Ukrainian men if they’re so eager to fight? Are you sure the bloodlust and desire for battle you’re perceiving isn’t your own?

OK, so China has looked out for its own interests and created an economic advantage for a fraction of its own population.

If lifting hundreds of millions of your poorest into the middle class is just naked self interest, why are Western countries so unwilling to do it? Are they stupid?

The modern American fascist is too soft to hear dissenting opinions.

Typical

As someone who wants the end of Western hegemony I have to say: do it

Oh yeah, I knew about that part but I think I assumed the defederation would stop all visibility in both directions, and I guess they can see us but are hiding from us, like, as you say, cowards.

Could a told you that 2 years ago when Boris Johnson sabotaged the peace talks so his masters in DC could benefit from Russia remaining at war.

EDIT: I guess I don’t understand completely Lemmy, because some lib is calling me a Russian troll under this comment and I can’t see it unless I go to the original/non-hexbear post.

Well American civilization has been deliberately constructed to require cars for survival outside a number of cities you can count on one hand and cars from US manufacturers are getting so expensive that even used cars are becoming unaffordable to large and growing segments of the population, so I don’t know that I care that Ford’s bottom line will be impacted.

Sure, as long as the US permits them to accept a ceasefire.

Probably just the anglo intelligence assets that pass for moderators over there removed all the cool comments. What can you do

Everyone knows what you meant, but it’s an ecofascist talking point, and doesn’t engender respect for you.

Chinese Kremlin propaganda no less

This poor boy. A child should never experience this kind of trauma.

This genocide will be a stain on humanity for eternity. Anyone supporting Israel should be ashamed of themselves. This is what they support.

Really makes Boris Johnson sabotaging those earlier peace talks look like it’s responsible for a bunch of death and destruction and nothing else huh.
