Pretty gross. Comments every bit as awful as you're thinking. Just a reminder of the abysmal state of non-cishet rights and acceptance in Russia.
Edit: can't get my screenshot to load properly so text:
T1: Putin on accusations against Russia in the energy crisis: "European countries are big specialists in non-traditional relationships and themselves abandoned traditional energy sources in favor of non-traditional ones"
T2: ("non-traditional relationships" is the legal term in Russia for all things "LGBT")
You are wrong on every count, you have no facts, and the Kurds are American imperialist proxies looting oil and food from starving Syrians. The CIA convinced you to support them lol you are that gullible. Next you will be supporting Hong Kongers
The "Kurds" are a diverse group of people who aren't just Kurds in Northern Syria who have fought ISIS and Turkey while Bashar Al-Assad pisses himself and declares it genius.
I don't give a fuck about Hong Kong one way or another. The advocates for independence are racist hypercapitalists. The CPC has absolutely shat the bed in managing the social problems created by Hong Kong's predatory capitalism, and that resulted in what it always results in: reactionary revolts.
Use context clues, we are obviously discussing the Syrian Kurds and their imperialistic opportunistic allegiance with the American military
Well, I was pushing back on "the Kurds" as a description of the SDF, since it isn't particularly accurate.
And imperialism is when people surrounded by stronger enemies take whatever help they can get, huh? You'd fucking hate most revolutionary-period communist parties if you held them to that standard.
Sounds like something a comprador would say
Why were fellow Syrians "enemies" while American fascist pig invader genociders were "whatever help they could get".
Why was this not inverted?
Yeah, it's totally being a comprador if someone is supporting actual socialists over your insane delusions.
Aiding imperialist invaders for your own personal advancement is the definition of being a comprador
Ah, yes, the "personal advancement" of revolutionary socialism. That's something a sane, consistent person would totally say.
I don't see any socialism happening, just redistribution of looted imperial plunder among a small ethnic clique
what part of "dont be a proxy of the imperialist hegemon, ever, or don't whine about consequences if you do" is hard to understand?
That's because you know absolutely nothing about Rojava and you're still talking out of your ass while pretending that the coalition of people there, including a number of different ethnicities, is doing what the state you actually support does: loot the natural resources of Syria to advance a small ethnic clique to the detriment of all other Syrians. That's the Assad government you're describing.
YPG/YPJ work with SDF to safeguard American convoys of YPG/YPJ controlled oil (that was not theirs at the start of the conflict) out into Iraq.
Do you agree or disagree that this is happening?
Unclear whether it is still happening, given the current conditions, but it certainly has happened in the past.
Revolutionary socialists selling oil to fund their resistance to two reactionary regimes? Oh no! That's only good when Venezuela does it!
Now who had the oil before, huh? What were they doing with it? Funding an insane hyper-salafist theocratic hell you say? Obviously it is worse that socialists have that oil!
Perhaps you mean before ISIS? Exactly what you accused the YPG/YPJ of doing! Looting that oil to enrich a small ethnic minority!
It sucks that the US are involved, but I support actual existing socialism, not incoherent "anti-imperialism" that has done nothing to harm the hegemon.
Were other "revolutionary socialists" propped up militarily by US army and airforce? Supplying them bases while they are invading a nation, balkanizing it?
I can think of one revolutionary socialist regime that was dependent on US military support to prop it up against a reactionary regime determined to crush it in order to advance the interests of a racial elite, yes. I imagine you could, too, if you thought about it for a moment.
For all your accusations that the western left is too purist, you are the one being a purist when actual existing socialism exists and depends on whatever help it can get to protect itself from reactionary regimes that wish to smash it. Obviously, the US can't be trusted in that role, as it has already basically sold the YPG and SDF out to Turkey in order to get Finland and Sweden into NATO. You can certainly criticize the YPG for being foolish, but you are doing everything in your power to project the reality of the Assad regime onto the YPG, not criticizing it for foolishness.
You're a very skilled liar. You pivot away from anything inconvenient to you and constantly stay on the attack without ever actually saying anything of worth. Everything you accuse the YPG/SDF/Rojava of is the essence of how Assad's government operates. You will continue not to address this reality, because you know it is true.
