    Socialists of belarus and all of the former ussr support them. Shut up. Defer your understanding of the location to those that actually live there and stop being an imperialism supporting chauvinist.

    Maybe take a note from the person you take your name from: https://twitter.com/search?q=belarus%20(from%3Ajeremycorbyn)&src=typed_query

    There's a god damn reason he's shut his mouth on this topic yet expresses open vocal support for cuba, venezuela, bolivia, etc. Even Corbyn knows what's fucking up here and he's just a socdem.

      No you see, they're not real leftists because they don't all have purple hair and make gritty memes

      That does not mean that there aren't legitimate reasons for the protests and that people haven't been fed up with the current government for a long time. Reducing everything to "the CIA was behind it" paints protesters as puppets, discredits them and their cause, and prevents us from learning anything from it. In this case, it is very possible that hackers from Belarus got the information themselves.

        You're getting attacked here because what you're doing is clearly not in opposition to imperialism, it's in support of it.

        Everyone is perfectly willing to have a conversation about the actual problems that do exist, but not in the context of someone arguing in bad faith in a way that supports NATO interests to take over the country. People would very much discuss the real problems involved here, but only when everyone involved clearly and unequivocally vocalises that they do not support this foreign interventionist attempt to topple him and absolutely destroy the lives of millions and millions of people. Especially under a fascist flag.

          You’re getting attacked here because what you’re doing is clearly not in opposition to imperialism, it’s in support of it.

          Saying that you shouldn't dismisd every activism that remotely aligns with US interests as orchestrated by the CIA, without even having any evidence, (and I am sure their government IT infrastructure sucks, like almost everywhere) is "in support of imperialism"? Ok then.
