AI has finally accomplished the impossible: making Macron look cool.

Because they have no material analysis, and no understanding of geopolitics; hence they have no notion of critical support. It's all a very shallow kind of morality where good = talking like US Democrats, and bad = anything else.

I'm not a fan of Putin, but I do support the Russian intervention (better term than invasion, since the war actually began in 2014, with the junta government as the aggressor). That doesn't mean I like the current Russian state, or consider it communist, etc.

Donbas is Gaza if Gaza had a powerful neighbor, who (for various flawed reasons) was willing and able to intervene and stop the genocide. Of course, libsocs like Lowkey_Iconoclast can't possibly see things in that kind of nuance.

How do you vote in a "vital" way? Do you fill out this little circles with, I don't know, more panache or something?

Nope, no fascist indoctrination going on here. None whatsoever.

Man, she sounds just like Biden, Obama, and Clinton!

Funny how nothing gets better even though we keep electing these people who are basically the American version of Lenin.

Or: pretend to be a shitlib, and then when they react and become Marxist, go "so hey, Bobby, you know all those times I said I was out at the bridge club? I was going to Party meetings."

Either a bonding moment, or a "whoah dad is crazy" moment, depending on how you spin it.

Go ahead and provide a credible source for that claim if it’s so “Open.”

I suppose by "credible" you mean "mainstream" -- the same mainstream media that openly simps for Netanyahu and Israel. But even there, you can find it, though naturally it gets soft-pedalled. From a cursory search:

Neo-Nazi torchlit parade in Kiev:

Associated Press

JewishPress.com

Vancouver City News (repeats AP article, but shows the event was widely reported on)

Zelensky applauds SS veteran in the Candian Parliament:

The Independent

Reuters

Nazi elements in the Ukrainian military:

NBC news

New York Times

Reuters

Most of these, predictably, present Nazis as "fringe" elements in Ukraine. But libs tarred Donald Trump as fascist on much less evidence than this; are you going to apply the same standard across the board?

Meanwhile my claim that Putin is a nazi has to do with the fact that he is attacking neighboring countries and blowing up hospitals and schools like a nazi would.

This is dumb western defeatism. Donbas is Gaza, if Gaza had a powerful neighbor who intervened to stop the genocide. And if that happened, you can bet that all the twitter libs who are "pro-Palestine, anti-Russia" would immediately reverse their batteries and become Zionists. Because in their worldview, the function of oppressed peoples is to die innocently and beautifully so we can all feel very sorry for them. The moment that the oppressed start to win against their oppressors -- or, in the case of Ukraine, the oppressors get the loving shit beat out of them -- these same oppressed become, in the western liberal mind, evil. It's why libs love Palestinians but denounce Hamas and the Houthis, because these groups are fighting back.

Yes, I remember that when I was growing up and getting interested in communism, conservative acquaintances used to very smugly tell me "just wait until you talk to people who actually lived under that system." Well, guess what? When I actually did, I heard a lot of favorable views of the USSR and the eastern bloc in general.

The libs have recognized this phenomenon, of course, and they now explain it by "false nostalgia through early traumatization" or some other such shit.

Happens about February-March of every election year (the, ahem, independent media goes out of its way to induce it). Get ready for the next lib wave, and a bunch of iterations of the following script, which they've been practicing since like 1999:

    1. "Eh, I disagree with [Democrat candidate] on a lot of things, but to pretend he's not better than [Republican candidate] is just delusional."
    1. "Yeah, I know [Democratic candidate] is a war criminal and complicit in a genocide, but have you considered that [Republican candidate] is a war criminal as well, plus he said rude things about [minority group]? In the interest of harm reduction for Americans only, I have a duty to vote Democrat."
    1. "Your vote actually does matter."
    1. "The only reason the Democrats aren't Wholesome Progressive Scandinavian Model Chungus is because they have to play politics with the Republicans. You have to recognize the reality of a two-party system."
    1. "We can push the Democrats left."
    1. "Such-and-such Democratic policy (usually the Affordable Care Act) was actually really progressive."
    1. "My [minority group] partner, whom I've never mentioned up to this point and very possibly just made up, is voting Democrat." (This tactic also gets used by libs defending porn and/or prostitution, e.g. "my totally-real girlfriend loves it when I post videos of us having sex online").
    1. "If even one less person dies because [Democratic candidate] is in office, it's my moral duty to vote for [Democratic candidate]. I am a mature, compassionate person who absolutely understands socialism."
 
 

This is a real article, lol

 

And did ESWildcard get you into the DPRK

 

So my uncle ran into Enver Hoxha at a grocery store in Tirana when he was an exchange student back in the 70s. He told Hoxha how cool it was to meet him in person, and that he had some questions about Stalin's Marxism and the National Question, but he didn't want to to sound like a revisionist or anything. Hoxha said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” My uncle was taken aback, and all he could say was “Huh?” but Hoxha kept cutting him off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my uncle's face. Finally my uncle walked away and continued with his shopping, and he heard Hoxha chuckle as he walked off. He thought he'd seen the last of the great leader, but when he went up front to pay for his stuff he saw Hoxha trying to walk out the door with like 15 candy bars.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Comrade, you need to pay for those first.” At first Hoxha kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

My uncle says that when she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, Hoxha stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent Soviet social imperialism,” and then turned around and winked at my uncle. I don’t even think that’s a thing. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
