I don’t think they should be sent back before at least being forced to see their crimes with their own eyes. Denazification is much harder without that first step of shoving their nose in their crimes, they need to see it.

And then they can go back to Europe.

A lot of them simply haven’t actually seen what is happening or they think it’s all lies. Rubbing their noses in it would have at least some effect.

But that’s just the start.

They also need to have their government abolished and all their war criminals tried for their crimes.

😲

That’s why they need denazification. Much like the Germans they need to be given a thorough tour of the concentration camps.

As a start.

They need denazification.

I’m not going to try to convince you that Russia isn’t imperialist, you wouldn’t listen anyway.

Instead, I’m going to point out the obvious.

So given this, I do not support either America or Russia. I support Ukraine’s independence, and the way to do that is to send military aid, which I fully support

And so you support the US/NATO bloc.

The military “aid” isn’t free by the way. Ukraine is indebting itself to the US/NATO bloc in order to buy equipment, and however the war ends the debt collectors are going to come to ravage Ukraine and strip mine it for whatever is left. Ukraine will be a colony in all but name. Flag independence, but no sovereignty.

Labor stoppages, public disruptions, organized boycotts, cop watch, publish and distribute propaganda, and agitation for further actions. I can understand not wanting to talk about some stuff on the internet for opsec, but chances are they’re doing literally nothing. Just sitting at home, waiting for the next election that might never come.

Voting is over. It’s time to do something else.

Even if you’re right about Russia being imperialist, the so-called “Russian empire” is objectively less evil than the US empire.

Why don’t you support the lesser evil?

It’s still stolen land dawg

And, no, the Euro is a tool of financial imperialism that allows the metropoles to dominate the rest of the Eurozone and prevent the spread of communism. That’s it, that’s what it’s for. There is no sovereignty without currency sovereignity.

Again, about as sovereign as a US state.

Don’t downplay colonialism?

Ask Greece how great it is not having currency sovereignity.

Do they have their own currency?

No?

Then they’re about as sovereign as a US state.

At least Australia has currency sovereignity.

The historical crime of colonialism isn’t that complex, we just don’t want to talk about it.

Greenland shouldn’t be a Danish colony either.

Have you done literally anything in the past six months?

Or did you do literally only one thing, vote one time, and now you think you’re absolved of all responsibility?

They knew journalists were at the hospital on that floor. They knew which journalists were present. They likely know the identities of every person in the hospital, with intelligence dossiers on every person in the building.

They were targeted because Israel is waging a campaign of terror against journalists to make them stop covering the genocide.

They airbrushed people’s faces.

If a computer changed my face because I’m too ugly for advertisers I’d fucking kill myself.

Humiliating. Degrading. Dehumanizing.

The creation process is private and personal, interfering with it is a violation of that privacy. This is at least privacy adjacent, and I don’t know why you won’t admit that.

You’re tilting at windmills anyway. Judging by the way the community is engaging with the OP, they agree with me.

Yes, any editing done without the author’s consent is a violation of the personal and private creative process. There are obviously degrees of violation, so on the low end there’s other examples you gave like resizing a video or colorizing a photo without permission. Then on the other end we have the fucking nightmare of YouTube changing my face because I’m too ugly.

The point is, you’re defending YouTube for doing something heinous. Do you think this is okay?

Libya was also a country outside the NATO bloc that was lead by a government that the West wanted gone. There are similarities.

Libya wasn’t the first time NATO destroyed a country either, they also destroyed Yugoslavia. It’s not a defensive alliance if it keeps attacking and destroying counties, whether or not you think it destroyed them for the Western imperial project.
