Honestly making out with your highschool goth gf under the ten commandments sounds pretty hot.
They are raised with it and old habits die hard.
ahh yes russia, the county famously lacking in territory
And yet it fights for more.
So is it wrong to say that the US is authoritarian? Would that be trivializing the holocaust?
So what form of authoritarian is Russia so that i can use the word for them?
I did all along. That is where my use of the word authoritarian is coming from.
Is Russia trying to take territory from Ukraine not empire? What about the fact that they subjugate and impose their will on Central Asian countries? If Russia supported Israel in its genocide, would it be okay because Russia has not reach a higher level of right wingness?
I think its clear that I am saying that Russia is an oppressive country with goals of being an empire. I am saying that it is wrong for them to do so, and more generally wrong for anyone to do so. Hence me calling them authoritarian and comparing them to the GOP.
“Authoritarian” and “totalitarian” are not useful descriptors
So what descriptors are useful?
Lamo im not going to support right wing anything. Russia is an empire the same way the USA is; they just happen to be the weaker empire. Not sure why you are wanting people to support other flavors of empire rather than simply rejecting imperialism all together.
holocaust trivialization
How exactly am I trying to excuse or deny the Holocaust? Are you suggesting that Russia and Israel bullying their smaller neighbor is not authoritarian? Are you suggesting Russia does not treat Central Asian nations the way the US treats those in Latin America? Bullying those around you is wrong no matter what party you are.
I am not sure what you are on about. I am anti authoritarian. I have no issue calling it out when the US does it. Rather than you who seem more interested in picking the Russian Empire’s flavor.
is the us-sponsored genocide in palestine not “authoritarian”?
Fuck yeah it is, what kind of question is that?
I mean part of capitalism is maximizing your income. Being a lazy worker is part of that.
Current Russia and GOP are both authoritarians. Of course they would want to co-operate.
Could be GOP’s Putin. In this case they also happen to be the same person.
They still signed a defense treaty with Russia and were abandoned.
I was imaging it as I would also be a student.
