"REVENGE FOR AFGHANISTAN" - what!?
Also, she has ~250k followers and only 2 likes. How many bots did she buy lmao.
It's impressive how fast they switch from "NATO is defensive how dare you deny the agency of free countries to join this entirely non threatening alliance?" to "THIS IS AN UNIPOLAR WORLD, WE WILL BRING YOU TO HEEL AND CLAIM REVENGE ON YOUR PEOPLES!".
"Unipolar World"
"Vae Victis"
Did I just experience brief time warp and stumble into the opinions (and pretentious Latin phrased forum signature) of a pre-Reddit early 2000s "Muslims are evil kill them all" scratched liberal on a random game forum?
Also, avenging Extinction Rebellion? Something so ineffectual and self defeating that it was quite likely some kind of deliberate op? Did Greta make brunch less fun for a while? :maybe-later-kiddo:
Extinction Rebellion committed the ultimate sin in LibMedia, which is causing a mild annoyance / inconvenience for a total of a few hours. Anything disruptive must be immediately crushed with the full might of the state, otherwise the poors get ideas.
Extinction Rebellion is funded and partly run by Boris Johnson's father so it's definitely an op
Also, avenging Extinction Rebellion?
Lol getting revenge for...

E) On reflection, she probably thinks XR was a bad thing and Russia's fault, not that she wants to avenge XR
Fun fact; Vae Victis is a quote from a barbarian general, Brenus, who invaded and sacked Rome. When the Romans brought gold to ransom their city back the guy used his own weights instead of Roman standard weights to measure the gold. The Romans complained and Brenus said "Vae Victis", "Woe to the conquered". Basically "STFU loser you lost pay up".
Either way it's funny that she's positioning herself as the invading barbarian conqueror in this situation.
:liberalism: is all about watching death and killing as a spectator sport and pretending to be more directly involved.
Revenge for extinction rebellion?
What does this mean they didn't do anything
I think she believes that Russia started extinction rebellion, who are "ecoterrorists" or something.
They want policies that maybe, possibly, theoretically decrease the short-term growth of GDP, at least in the way that we measure GDP. KILL THEM ALL, THEY ARE TERRORISTS FUNDED BY RUSSIA
I am judging you for not having the poor sense to double down on the bit.
Before twitter got blocked I remember libs on TL reposting some thing about Russia financing antinuclear movements in Europe to get Europe hooked on gas.
"REVENGE FOR AFGHANISTAN” - what!?
Presumably about the "Russia paid bounties on dead US soldiers" story that was pretty transparently bullshit

If enough people within the halls of power that we rarely see(Pentagon, State Department, National Security Council, CIA and other 3 letter agencies) think like this then we are in for a wild ride folks. There's two exits from American Hegemony: the realist and the ideological. If its the latter strap in.
Mix this in the pot of Climate holocaust and the legitimate threat of Fascism and I just don't see the next couple of decades being remotely chill even in the relatively spoiled rich countries most people here are in.
Occams razer shit it really is socialism or barbarism .
Damn shame that Kanada was destroyed in 2015
...wasn't Mensch basically a Brexiteer?
Edit: literally pro-Brexit. So uh does she think Poutin did a good thing there on accident or what?
The only thing I can even think of is Trudeau getting elected the first time? Is she somehow insinuating that Trudeau is a Russian plant lmao
He can't keep getting away with giving me the right wing reactionary nationalist policies I, a Tory, like!
maybe it's some kind of buyer's remorse after she realized brexit makes ham more expensive. you could say she's feeling ...
Regrexit :kelly:
It's wild that a month of war has broken people's brains this much. I guess Louise Mensch was always the worst but still, claiming that funneling weapons to far right militias in Ukraine is 'revenge' for Extinction Rebellion and the Scottish Independence vote is :brainworms: on a whole new level.
Personally, I like seeing people like Mensch tweet ridiculous things like this. When you see the most egregious examples of liberalism, it helps you identify less obvious liberalism. The core message is the same.
Louise Mengele really fell off. I think she might have finally broken her brain.
And she didn't even manage to do it with drugs, but instead with Twitter and marrying lanyards.
Somehow this is more cringe than the teens who LARP as revolutionaries on twitter.
Literally taking "keyboard warrior" as a compliment lol
bring russia to heel
damn there's some fucked up connotations in there
Oh hey cool, I learned Vae Victus from Soul Reaver: Legacy of Cain
See mom, videogames are educational.
