Moving partially to Hexbear for the emojis and larger community (I’ll still be here and using this acc)
At this point, the sanctions are doing phenomenal. For Russia, for China, and for BRICS that is… there’s usually a bit of short-term pain, but in turn the rewards are a thousandfold.
I hope the west tries sanctioning some more (to those who can take it and then some at least, against China and Russia… maybe even India or Turkey as Russian oil-transit countries? 😂 Might hurt me some as well as someone living in an imperial core myself, but the results- the destruction of the imperial economic order, rapidly before our eyes- is just too beautiful, too inspiring all the same.
Reminds me, recently I was watching Scott Ritter talking on the effects of sanctions on Russia. They had been struggling with the destabilizing, corrupting influence of the oligarchs for so long, for instance. The west dealt with that, basically neutered the oligarchs with their targeted sanctions. 😂 They had been struggling to get domestic investments, with wealth flowing from Russia into the west- the west dealt with that too- suddenly Russia has plenty of capital with nowhere to go but to the people, developments are being built left and right (and not just in the MIC). 😂 NATO basically helped Putin cleanse out the rot the west had encouraged to fester during the years of shock therapy, and as they’re the ones who did it (while showing the entire world their financial systems are not to be trusted) it didn’t take much if any political capital for Russia to get things back into shape afterwards.
Healthier bodies, healthier wallets, even healthier spirits (more self-loving rather than western-idealizing, more identifying with the true global majority rather than the putrid “garden” of the west). McGenocide’s and all the other western parasites really did Russia a favor getting the hell out…
Hopefully it can stop terrorizing the innocent Caribbean, and head towards the nexus of evil that is Washington DC instead…
Why would Amish people be in Israel? They’re not Jewish whatsoever (even if their lifestyles and attire have large similarities with some orthodox Jewish communities)
Netanyahu’s really speedrunning towards complete destruction of the Zionist project…
The day after the Crimea beach attack, too. They’re really trying to destroy what little credibility they have…
Jomo Kenyatta is rolling in his grave…
In this case, it seems like Russia is- while facing some short-term hassles, generally doing better economically than ever (or than since the fall of the Soviet Union, anyways).
The west has finally bitten off more than they could chew. Same with all the sanctions against China, and now it all is reaching a point where their sanctions machine falls apart altogether (hopefully soon, and hopefully the western regimes along with it). And eventually there’s going to be some truly magnificent backlash- the product of their own actions, not out of any malice by the rest of the world (though the west certainly deserves every bit of malice).
The west has destroyed all credibility in their financial machines, in their world economic order- and now they’re just running on fumes, economically, anyways. And they’ve done it all while hollowing their own real economies to increase their bottom line, turning their own imperial cores into deindustrialized hellholes- they’ve nothing to even fall back on, hell, their own citizens by-and-large hate them. An ocean of debt- and public discontent- and the entire world, or those with sanity anyways, moving themselves and their assets as far away from the rogue, deranged, and spiraling west as it faces its karma- 500 years of likely the worst karma (not to put any pseudoscientific/superstitious value to it) from unparalleled brutality, savagery, and barbarism (that of the imperialist west, not their victims they projected upon) is coming up. And even as someone living in an imperial core myself, as someone who feels the pain now and- even if I get out, will have friends and family feel the pain- all the same, the schaudenfreude, the righteousness of it all is going to be delicious. It already is. Hopefully we all survive to see it unfold, and to help the new, better world emerge.
Oh look, a lemm.ee poster (with an anti-natalist name no less- nothing against it but combined? I imagine you’re a fascist) laughing off the deaths of civilians. You think Russia can’t strike back (and with far greater capability), or fund proxies to do the same? The entire world is watching your mask-off terrorism and making notes. This attitude is exactly why you’ll inevitably get yours.
Imagine the money that went into consulting about these anti-homeless measures*, designing them*, going through the processes of manufacturing and installing them, and disposing of the perfectly usable and superior benches afterwards.
*(not actually difficult, but it’s capitalism, we all know whatever was responsible for this was grifting on the side)
The US keeps pushing, one blatantly terroristic act (with clear trails back to the US) after another. At some point, even the Russians’ saintly patience is bound to wear thin…
It really is interesting, isn’t it- frankly, I see the libs as not only more insidious (as they have always been) but typically far more dangerous than the average chud nowadays, and this is as a staunch progressive myself.
As I see it- capitalism has managed to produce a ideological force more odious than the old-school imperialists, or the fascists. A force unhindered by petty things like national preservation (or preservation of anything other than the individual), and which somehow manages to claim itself more virtuous than the aforementioned ideologies- while at the same time (in contrast to both, for all their faults and the fact theirs were terrible) having no true values whatsoever.
We have no more children left for intermediate situations
By “children” I assume they mean military-age adults in the IDF, so I say- good. They don’t even understand 1/1,000,000th of what the Palestinians have suffered and yet have faced it with none of the dignity and bravery of the Palestinian people- even their children, and I hope that all that is to come will break them (the Zionists).
Thank you mods, ILY ❤️
Hopefully they announce one in Iran soon, to really get the west pissing themselves.
Can we just ban this cracker already? Look at their comment history, they provide nothing but brain damage. (also, I think there’s a basis to do so off of their clear anti-communism and imperialist apologia)
You may as well point fingers at all the various Islamic, Indian, African, or even indigenous “Amerindian” empires then. But your whataboutism ignores the fact that these empires were vastly different from the system of imperialism as practiced by the west.
It’s like saying “black people enslaved other blacks too,” or “what about the Arab slave trade,” or “indigenous peoples killed each other all the time.” Sure, but the specifics of how the west did it are a world of difference, and you’re a racist for saying it that way.
Next up- an add-on accessory to the Core77, an accompanying back-brace with armpit and chin supports…
The third scenario I could imagine (basically #2 but with western support) could be that the west is gearing up for a second “Arab spring,” to drive BRICS out of the region through either destabilization or regime change. I’d be surprised if that isn’t being seriously considered at this point TBH- because compliance with genocide and warmongering isn’t enough, the lackeys of the empire are expected also to sacrifice their economies and entire future as well in the name of western hegemony- and Sissi and the Gulf Arabs are increasingly seeking a better future in that regard.
Or a half-orc- half normal (Russian), half American (orc).
