It's a liberal cesspool full of people who refuse to listen when you speak. I explained how the SMO in Russia was justified going all the way back to fucking WWII and Stepan Bandera to Russia not wanting Ukraine in NATO and some dickhead told me to "tOuCH gRaSS". Didn't even address any of my points, just that "dEnAziFIcaTioN iSnT a gOoD rEasOn, iT's aS bAd aS wMDs".

Fucking moron. I hate that fucking place so fucking much.

That Russiagate op really got people believing Russia is the USSR again. Like literally for years it has continuously been demonized just for existing. I'm aware that it's not a worker's state and deserves criticism for its reactionary tendencies, but nuance isn't something that seems to exist when talking about things like geopolitics, which isn't a fucking Marvel movie.

You're not allowed to separate the analytical process from picking a side. If your analysis doesn't confirm that you should unequivocally support the 'good guys', you must've erred in your reasoning.

Unfortunately this logic permeates every Western institution. Analysis is subjugated to liberalism. Coming to conclusions that do not support the status quo is dangerous shit. It puts your livelihood at serious risk.

That, and the lack of any critical self reflection, never raising the question, 'If my analysis keeps leading to conclusions that do not coincide with reality, is reality wrong or my thought process?'

This.

I'm not a citizen of the settler empire, I'm a subject. So to me the illusion was never strong enough for me to vehemently defend it. I never understood the Amerikan worship of itself because they claimed to be #1 and the best...but at what?

I eventually came to realize I had no loyalty for this country that enslaved my people and took our land, and eventually arrived at being an ML when I realized my heroes, the BPP, were also MLs.

I honestly feel like understanding historical materialism is what helped me understand geopolitics the most, but that requires a critical understanding of how things have gone in the past, without the filter of the West to dilute the information.
