It’s like I’m talking to a character in Disco Elysium who has two preprogrammed responses and maybe a third if I forget to wear a shirt. Completely off in your own world huffing nasal spray.

I’m arguing the U.S. is no less psychopathic and countries need protection from Western imperialism.

The US was the one that initiated it regardless, and I think China and Russia’s support for UN sanctions on Iran was incorrect.

?

Saddam used chemical weapons on Iran and the U.S. helped him. Would you actually want a country like that to have nukes?

And the sanctions regime that brought Iran to the table in the first place was very difficult to forge, so that won’t be duplicated ever again.

Oh that’s awful it was so difficult to forge your apparatus for terrorizing the Iranian people.

All of your politicians represent the capitalist imperialist class. Remember the US overthrew Iran’s democracy and propped up a monarch in the 1950s and have continued to violate Iran’s sovereignty since. If they weren’t armed they would be a Western slave state like Libya.

Maybe don’t mindlessly say it requires cognitive dissonance to consider NATO (an organization that bombed Libya and supported anti-black rebels leading to an open-air slave market in the country, and armed/collaborated with Nazis and ethno-nationalists to sabotage left-wing movements in West Germany, Greece, Turkey, Italy, etc. (Operation Gladio)) an evil empire (and for slavery/against peace to use your 1984 comparison).

like “NATO is inherently escalatory”, with no further explanation on why banding together against an aggressor to preserve everyone’s peace is somehow “escalation” while publicly plotting attacks against all your European neighbours

Operation Gladio (support for Nazis and other far-right groups in Turkey, West Germany, Greece, etc., use of false-flag terrorism and propaganda to rig elections in Italy to prevent the rise of communist countries that would align with the Soviets), Libya (bombing of innocents and destruction of the country, support for racist mercenaries who later brought back the open slave trade), participation in the brutal imperialist bombing of Afghanistan, this is the history of NATO’s “preservation of peace.” NATO is an organization created to maintain Western supremacy, and to act like it’s simply a “defensive alliance” “banding together against an aggressor” is fundamentally dishonest nonsense. Who is not thinking (let alone critically)?

As others in the comments have shown, Angela Merkel already admitted peace agreements were made to stall and arm Ukraine against Russia, so who is “publicly plotting attacks against European neighbors”?

When were they damaging paintings prior?

You’re a fucking idiot, and show us your haircut

“No longer”?

Woah so sigma

Man, why are there so many Nazis in Ukraine?

The same way Ukraine forgot to ask the families of Jewish people killed in the Holocaust if they could put up statues and monuments commemorating Nazi collaborators including OUN members who participated in carrying out the Holocaust?

Ukraine is bombing the country that invaded them

Wait Russia invaded Ukraine? Why would they do that? And Ukrainian bombing came second, right, and the invasion first?

And yet, still the largest source of methane emission.

They also have the largest population. Per-capita they are not the largest source. It’s ridiculous to evaluate countries’ outputs without regard for the size of their populations.

As a product they can sell. Let’s not pretend like this has some altruistic motivation.

That’s true, and yet they also chose to massively subsidize their solar industry in order to meet climate goals.

Where is “the bad shit that China has done?” You still haven’t said anything about this.

:)

Reading the rules very loudly in front of everyone to let them know the evil person is breaking them (I won’t do anything about it).
