Debunking NATO propaganda and consent manufacturing means massively massively more than your personal relationships and comfort. I don't want to hear how hard it is to be called a 'shill for Putin'. People should have already been calling you a shill for Assad, for Kim Jong Un, for Xi, for Castro or you have been fucking NEGLIGENT AS LEFTISTS. If you're in the imperial core your primary fucking duty is to anti imperialism. Clearly a lot of you haven't been doing this. Now there are possible nuclear consequences and I see a great deal of you still too fucking chicken shit to stick their necks out for people living under the thumbs of America and NATO. Investigate the situation thoroughly and have an informed, consistent take based in Marxism and historical materialism and then REPEAT IT LOUDLY AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE WORKERS OF THE WORLD DO NOT STAND FOR THIS. This is supposed to be a board of principled communists, act like it.

    I've read it already. It doesn't really apply to Americans/westerners in 2022 who are about a million times more alienated from the people around them than Chinese peasants from 100 years ago and therefore can't really afford to burn bridges socially. This post is stupid as fuck

      you're making a value judgment on whether or not you can afford to burn bridges. nobody is asking you to sacrifice your livelihood or cut everyone off for disagreeing but the absolute least you can do is offer a dissenting opinion. if you feel that's too much you are a liberal as defined in the work. it's literally that simple

        Don't really see how being alienated makes someone a liberal but if that's what you want to tell yourself, be my guest

          that's not what I said. you're worked up by the vitriolic OP and I get that but saying "hey, NATO also had a big part in starting this up" is not a big ask here

            That's exactly what you were implying, it's pretty cowardly to back away from it so quickly. Goodbye

              I think it's a bad idea to try to strongarm someone into self-sacrifice for the greater good, especially when you do it online with a pissed off tone. that being said, if you don't want to do anything at all as a leftist because you're afraid of consequences you're basically just in it for the aesthetic

                  I agree with your point for sure. if you live in the US the worst that can happen is you have someone get pissed off at you for what you said. like people are actually dying so making your friends and family say "hey I actually don't give a fuck, shut up" is relatively not that bad
