    Literally talking to a victim of US imperialism and they can’t fathom the idea that someone who had their people’s future wiped away by a cohort of corrupt US installed puppets would hold a grudge against the political establishment that continues to disenfranchise people globally.

      Notice the justification too: “It’s YOU who did it to yourselves, not the US meddling in your country and leaving behind ruins and blood”.

        American leaders will allow their people to starve on the streets wasting away. They’ll allow Americans to pay extortion rents and prices for bare necessities. They do nothing to help victims of substance abuse. They allow roads to disintigrate with the passage of time while they continue to rake in money that’s only ever invested in moving across a spreadsheet.

        Yet with all this rampant neglect towards their people, and the complete lack of community culture in the US, this yankie (along with other chauvinists) have the gual to accuse Brazillians (or any one from the global south for that matter) of abusing eachother.

        The US is the most blatant example of crabs in a bucket mentality to exist on this earth, but this yahoo dares point the finger at a culture that had to be forced into an anti-collectivist formation, against the slope of history and progress. Such a decadent display of projection would almost be humorous to me if I didn’t share a country with these back stabbing crustaceans in primate form.

    It is sad how they use “Russian bot/propaganda” to literally put you in a box and close their brain to you. In a racist way, they are dehumanizing you by showing to everyone that sees that comment section that whatever you say is a lie and it shouldn’t be considered.

    American excepcionalism is really a disease.

      One of the easiest giveaways of a Nazi is that they always have a very unique hatred of Russians in particular. You can almost see them foaming at the mouth, calling them Bolsheviks or something

    I didn’t use to enjoy posting and reading Shit Reactionaries Say. But I’m starting to appreciate the kind of group therapy and sanity check that ends up happening in each thread.

    They all out themselves as sneering chauvinists in the end.

    The West can do no wrong; everything is always the fault of the subhum- uh, foreigners.

    Where does the Siberia talking point come from? Is it referencing something feudal monarchy Russia did? Or is it one of those things like “China Xinjiang” where they pull out whatever atrocity propaganda they are aware of to try to distract from western imperialist crimes and induce a sense of nihilist defeat in the reader that humanity is hopelessly evil no matter who we’re talking about.

      it’s a reference to tzarist russia doing its own manifest destiny and expanding their border all the way to vladivostok, to distract from the american manifest destiny (which was a far far more complete genocide of the indigenous).

        Ah ok, so sort of like if they started bringing up wrongdoings of Chinese emperors, in spite of China not having emperors anymore and acting nothing like them. Whereas with the US, it still acts much the same it always has, if not worse in some ways.

          yeah, it’s related to the idea that communism is a russian (or asiatic) thing so really it doesnt matter what they call it, it’s the same asiatic system

      Tbh I have no idea. I just didn’t want to interact with it. They can pull any BS out of their asses, on demand.
