    We have moved from “the Russians are evil, therefore giving Nazis $75 billion is justified” to “the Russians are evil, maybe we should have thought a little harder about giving Nazis $75 billion.” Also, Hedges is a weirdo and not a Marxist. Still, I guess this is a slight improvement? (Libs on hexbear who have used the term “Russian imperialism” wrt the Ukraine War are going to have to move a little to the left now I suppose in order to stay ahead of this guy…)

      Haha. I've been wondering what exactly libs are calling imperialist about Russia's actions. Do they just think all war is "imperialist"

        Yes. All war is imperialist, terrorism, and genocide. Unless of course its done by them. I'm not being hyperbolic, this is actually where the conversation is even amongst lib journalists.

        It's fun to ask them to give a theoretical example of a non-defensive act of war that is not imperialist.
