  • Yeah,on account of them being directly and consistently targeted by western or western aligned military action in the last couple of years

    Now try telling the average Chinese person to prepare to live in brutal wartime rationing conditions,or god forbid, actually fight all over Asia to dismantle US hegemony and you’ll see the ROC flag in Beijing in a week

    Try telling a Vietnamese person to continue the work of the Vietcong, pick up a rifle and topple the governments of Thailand and the Philippines and you’ll see that fugly yellow flag flying in Hanoi

    Only places where that might get play are North Korea,where they were effectively bombed back a few centuries and are constantly threatened by the US that next time they’ll “finish the job” and maybe Cuba, who already repelled multiple invasion attempts and is being strangled by the US embargo







  • Well,my criticisms mainly extend to modern day Russia

    I have little bad to say about the USSR as a whole,barring some Romania specific stuff like giving the Ukrainian SSR it’s coastline and Bucovina,and of course the chauvinism that remained both in it’s internal arrangements and in it’s relations with it’s “allies”,which were more akin to satrapies than partners

    That being said,I recognize it’s historically progressive role and will always acknowledge it’s role in liberating us from the nazi scourge and uplifting mainly agrarian nations into at least somewhat industrialized nations

    Of course,this development wasn’t completely even,and many mistakes were made,and I do agree we need to move away from the ghost of communism past,but I firmly believe Eastern Europe without them would have been a much more tragic place












  • All due respect, nuclear war is apocalypse by another name

    What exactly does it do for the benefit of humanity? Erase all of history and doom the unfortunate few to die in utmost agony? Who’s to say that humanity won’t survive climate change? Who’s to say the worst will happen? How can we know for sure that what you say will come true? Do we want to chance it on our non nuclear wasteland world or do we wanna go all in and risk killing off everything to cut off the cancer. While I do see where you’re coming from,I fundamentally can’t justify consigning humanity to that type of grim fate,even if the fascists get their commupance. I think humanity deserves to live,even if it is a miserable life.

    Now,this doesn’t mean blind pacifism and inaction, but accelerationism is something I will never agree with, even if what you say is right. The risk is too great and I can’t in good conscience support something that will erase billions and leave the last millions to die in pain and suffering just for the sake of justice.
