    This is a different version of “all lives matter”. I also don’t support capitalist imperialist oligarchies, but when you’ve got one imperial power murdering civilians inside another smaller capitalist nation, it’s fucking abysmal to take that as an opportunity to chant what you don’t like about the country whose people are being slaughtered.

    If you don’t want to be forced into a stance that’s loosely supportive of us imperialism, which I fully understand, you always have the option to sit out. It doesn’t help leftist or anti-us causes to make it look like we’re siding with russia, which is what everyone hears when you try to “both sides” a war of aggression.

      I don’t know you, but I’m being forced to pay more taxes and the inflation caused by the economic sanctions to support this puppet regime that bans all opposition, forces people to die on the battlefield and doesn’t let people leave the country.
