It's mind-boggling to me just how easily people (well, I guess radlibs in this particular instance) can switch from seeming like they dislike America because of the harm it's done to the world at large, but the second that a crisis springs up, they immediately get back in line with everybody else. I guess it's just a relatively simple case of their material interests in preserving imperialism taking over from a more idealistic (in both senses) worldview and so shouldn't be that shocking hypothetically, but actually watching it happen is something else.

I know we aren't the only place on the entire internet (and that's to say nothing of the world, where in many non-western countries there appears to be a general distrust of NATO and the US and/or sympathy, though not outright welcoming, towards Russia's actions) that has this philosophy but there's certainly not many places on any mainstream media site, social or otherwise, that are even offering a neutral perspective. You've gotta line up to kiss Zelensky's ring, or you're a traitor to the west and opposed to the very concept of freedom and democracy.
