Libs get mad about the things they support all the time. Go ask libs in the 80s how they felt about our brave Mujahideen fighters for instance. Ask libs in 20 years how they feel about all the nazis in Ukraine they’ve spent the last couple of years arming to the teeth. When you live in idealism rather than materialism your viewpoints change with the wind
Liberals don’t do historical analysis, they just chase after the shiny red dot wherever the state department points the laser pointer. These people have blind faith that US-backed regime change can solve every problem and simply ignore all the times it’s failed or created new problems. Deeply unserious people.
The average Westerner is mad at Putin because the TV man told them to be that way. If Navalny had somehow managed to unseat him but, still piss off the West for whatever reason, the TV man would do a 180 and tell everybody in America to be mad at Navalny.
they fogor
listen sweaty, liberals correctly understand that systems only do what the great men in charge of them want them to do (this does not apply to Joe Biden!), and Putin is a Very Bad Man
They thought he’d let them keep plundering Russia as a neocolony. He didn’t.
“No, not like that.”
Serious answer:
- Putin and, under him, Russia don’t seem to be getting on board with the neoliberal hegemony of capitalism.
- Russia is large enough, that by not getting on board, it is a threat to that hegemony.
- Russia has been a scapegoat for so long that I don’t think it ever can’t be. These prejudices become institutionalized and the enemies and victims never really become laundered of the roles they’ve been assigned.
You expect them to remember something which was in the news over a decade ago? Neoliberals do t have a past or a future, just an eternal now like a fish
History began with the current news cycle.
“hand picked”
I know it’s a bit, but ppl really do be saying this lol
I mean, he was hand picked by the guy the west had hand picked. You could say he was second hand picked.
And considering Russia was a client state of the US at the time, Bill Clinton was 100% involved and signed off on all of it.
I didn’t pick putin, i would’ve picked more ussr
GW stared into his eyes and saw his soul, or some shit.
