So any country that has a civil war is inherently imperialist?

Yeah America sucks

Oh yeah? PROVE IT

China seeks to reclaim Taiwan as part of China for the same reason Taiwan seeks to reclaim the mainland as part of China.

You really think the blue genociders will give a shit about trans people?

It’s absolutely an internal matter but I’d still like to see a peaceful conclusion. That said it would be really funny if China did just pull a US and kidnap their president to take over it only for all the liberals to then cry and blame Trump for setting a bad precedence. Of course that would never happen though and they would immediately pivot their talking points back to China bad.

I love how the Nazis were causing havock across the east massacring everything to colonise the land they felt entitled to because of their supposed master race. Yet the moment the soviets start pushing them back and shattering their delusions they immediately call fowl and point to a massacre that looked like what they themselves had been doing the entire time. Basically saying to the west “No no guys stop fighting us. It’s the soviets that are the REAL bad guys look what they did! You should be fighting alongside us instead”

I got called a tankie because I said you shouldn’t just invade other countries over on Reddit.

Like tankie never really meant anything before but now it’s the opposite. Being against tanks makes you a tankie at this point.

I’ve seen a lot of liberals saying things along the lines of “but if we don’t follow the rules based order it will set a bad precedent! What’s stopping China now deciding to invade Taiwan on the justification that they don’t like their government?”

Edit: oh fuck I didn’t scroll down into the comments there’s already one here

No they signed a non-aggression pact which everyone else had done at the time. The pact had spheres of influence, a clear “don’t fuck with us when we do things here and we won’t fuck with you do things there” there was nothing in it that said anything about some military alliance to invafe Poland.

Molotov-Ribbentrop was signed 2 weeks before the nazi invasion of Poland and 1 week before it was signed by the supreme soviet. You don’t attack a country together within a week that requires months of time planning.

The Nazis invaded Poland and the polish government went into exile so the soviets rushed in to prevent land that was historically part of their territory and inhabited by many ethnic Belorussians and Ukrainians from being occupied by the Nazis. Land that had been taken from them by Poland in their war of aggression to achieve their maximum historical borders even though as I mentioned had spent so much time outside of Polish control now had sizable Belarusian and Ukrainian inhabitants.

Of course, were we to live in a timeline where the soviets did leave all of Poland to be occupied by the Nazis. Idiots like you would be going on about how stupid and evil the soviets were for not doing anything from preventing the land from falling into Nazi hands. Doing nothing to protect the people living there when they had the opportunity and allowing the Nazis to get a border even closer.

Like there was no other option, like, hmmm, helping Poland fight nazis, and winning the war at the beginning?

The soviets tried forming an anti-nazi alliance before the war started. Promising to send in a million men. They were turned down and upon realising they were on their own, seeked out a non-aggression pact with the Nazis (which everyone had already done up to that point).

Preventing it from being occupied by the Nazis is more help than letting it be occupied by Nazis.

I don’t think that we should trust russia. Current right wing government is antiworker, homophobic, and very oligarchic. Russia needs some kind of revolution, russians need to do revolution again.

Oh so now you agree with me.

The soviets did help Poland. They prevented the Nazis from occupying it all. Also why should we trust capitalist Russia who distanced themselves from communism and everything Stalin did?

Don’t lie, you don’t want to solve shit. You just want to keep being stabbed and bleed out feeling smug that at least you didn’t have to defend yourself (that would make you as bad as them).

The keywords here being “as war reparations”.

Nazis were put to work for their crimes not given a new name and passport and a high paying and respected career.

Because it’s cheaper to steal things.

Socialist authoritarianism is when you yell at people to move out of the way and they do.

If there’s a remote village somewhere that needs a steady supply of electricity and coal power is the only solution. Is that a bad thing because it’s coal?

If a coal plant was then built in a place where the water supply was scarce and they government was like sure you can build that here whatever and then they did and suddenly the towns people had to start importing water bottles to meet the demand. Is that a coal problem or a government problem?

You can train it on data you own instead of plagiarising.
