    I feel like it’s the responsibility of world leaders who claim to support to democracy to strongly condemn governments like the US that are being blatantly fascist as well as the systems that are strengthening its presence in their own countries. They’re the ones giving the Yanks a free pass by handling them with kid gloves!

        The victims are in Gaza, Venezuela, Cuba, Ukraine, and countless other non European countries. Europeans aren’t victims of American empire. Cry me a fucking river. Europeans are beneficiaries of American empire. You don’t get to wash your hands of it when it starts dying and is run by fascist.

        Some of us are fighting it in America. The least you can do is stop pretending that some economic instability makes you a fucking victim.

            I had a () in my comment that originally said (except Ukraine). But I removed it because I thought it was clear because I mentioned Ukraine specifically. It felt redundant. I reread my comment a couple times before posting usually.

            Like, I don’t know what you want here mate. You hallucinated something to be offended by.

            I don’t know your life story mate. You’re a random person saying they are “European”. If you call “Europe” a victim of American Imperialism I’m going to fucking laugh at that. Because Europeans, in general, do not include Ukraine or anything east of Poland as part of Europe. I’m sorry if you live east of there. But you should know better than anyone that reality given the history of the people that live there. America and “Europe” are more than willing to sacrifice the lives of “Eastern Europe”. And I wouldn’t be making comments pretending that they treat Eastern European states with any equality.
