      Same exact phenomenon. Projecting their delusional aspirations for how liberalism is solving all the world's problems onto the most public individual mugging for the camera.

      The Hillary/KHive cults of personality work the same bizarre way. In a dearth of exemplars they have to latch on to someone as the avatar of virtues. Though in this regard Zelensky is by far the strongest character to be placed center stage yet.

      Can't wait for the Zelenskyy scandal of him being too compromising toward Putin

          Yeah, but I worry it's gonna be in a, 'funny how how much more comfortable people are with nazis nowadays' kinda way.

                  I get what you're saying but, Putin/Russia Bad looks like it's gonna go a long way in legitimizing a lot of bad people.

                      Azov battalion will be vilified in a couple of years tho

                      Decades seems more realistic.. I think you're underestimating just how much the MIC and the wealthy have a hard on for Russia and China. I'm listening in on a lot of conversations among rich Economist reader types lately and they are fully in the belief that war with Russia and China is necessary. The propaganda they're consuming is pushing HARD. Personally, I think Russia has stepped into a bear trap by invading Ukraine and the US is going to funnel a lot of resources over the next few decades in order to spread them as thin as possible.

                          I mean, they soured because they kept trying to blow up the world trade center. I don't think the nazis are gonna be unfriendly in that sort of way to Capital. As long as the media continues to carry water for them, the sky is the limit.

                                Now I'm wondering how climate change and resource shortages will affect the friction between international capital and the national/regional fascist groups it usually puppeteers. Like if the US tomorrow told ukraine "Hey mack, we're only gonna keep sending you party poppers if you give us 25% of your fresh water".

                                  Totally. That's basically how it works now. I recently read The Jakarta Method and the efforts these fash go through to open their countrys' resources to exploitation for such a small cut is mind boggling. And if the people try, even electorally, to take even the slightest bit for themselves, out come the death squads. Look at that shit that went down in Bolivia, or how they're going after AMLO for trying to nationalize Mexico's Lithium mines. Millions dead so local fascist assholes can cuck themselves to richer, global assholes.

                        I really love that they are pushing that now, when the time that that was feasible was decades ago.

              The very idea that groups on different sides of conflict have different, opposing ideas/values is soooo lib. Many conflicts throughout history were between groups competing over a shared interest while wearing different outfits

              Remember when the Taliban was gaining ground after the Americans left, and Nick Fuentes tweeted out "The taliban is fighting against vaccine mandatates and abortion, maybe we should have fought with them rather than against them".

          This pillow is dedicated to the brave battallions of eastern ukraine, named after such exquisite leaders such as Dirlewanger, Klaus Barbie & Stepan Bandera.

    Libs hate it if you point out the similarities of zelensky and :maduro-katana-1: :maduro-katana-2: Evidently it's OK to arrest political opponents and ban opposition news channels if they're pro :putin-wink: but not if they're pro hanging upside down guy
