A lifetime of western propaganda is hard to break. It’s been hard and confusing but finally, the utter hypocrisy on what is really going on in Palestine has really opened my eyes. It really is a hard pill to swallow. The west have just lost the plot completely. I hope more people, will realise the truth before its too late for humanity.
Well for one they’re not killing everyone. They don’t have laws that say when you become part of their country, you become an untermensch.
Russia doesn’t actually believe the land belongs to them. They believe they can get it. And that not getting it is dangerous. They belive they can get it because they have popular support, so after occupying it militarily, they’ll keep it politically by keeping the population happy. Compare that to Israel who wants the Palestinians gone.
I recommend watching a few videos from this man or someone else like him.

He’s is a Mariupol resident, talking about his experiences and the experiences of his peers surrounding the war in English. He makes pro-Russian videos, but it’s very materialistic mundane stuff. It’s not whatever ideological thing western media says they care about, he’s happy about increased safety, about infrastructure, about access to education, healthcare, jobs, basic things that directly affect everyone. Under Israeli rule, will Palestinian’s safety increase? Will their access to healthcare and dignified employment? Obviously not, they’ll be dead.
It’s fine if you think the YouTuber has miscalculated, or that it doesn’t excuse Russia. You don’t need to agree with him, it doesn’t matter. But you should hear from the people affected. And if you do, you’ll realise the two conflicts aren’t analogous.
Lemmygrad isn’t Pro-Russian. We don’t like the Russian state, we don’t like the bigotry that’s common in all walks of life. But Russia’s stated motivations, Russia’s narrative surrounding the war, it all makes sense, it’s all close enough to the truth, unlike the west’s.
To be clear, the Russian state is just another capitalist dictatorship like those in the west, and the only reason they aren’t an empire like the west is because they are weak. But materially, they’re fighting the enemies of humanity. We critically support Russia’s actions, because Russia’s actions are bad for empire and thus good for humanity.
Does that mean they should’ve escalated to war? I don’t know. Every life lost is a tragedy. But I do know it would’ve been avoided if NATO didn’t want it to happen. Russia’s demands were reasonable. And I also know that Russia is conducting it more humanly than NATO ever has. There’s no humane war, and this isn’t the closest you’ll get to it, I’m not excusing civilian casualties. I just think it’s dishonest to compare it to how Israel is conducting its war. There’s a 500 fold increase in daily civilian casualties between the two. And while my analyses of the situation concludes that escalating to war was a mistake, Russia now losing the war would be disastrous for us and for humanity, so we do hope they win.
