This would be a lot easier to take at face value if I didn’t see so much blatant Putin apologia on lemmy. It’s totally possible to condemn both the US and Russia for being warmongering, bloated empires, but it feels like in a lot of cases criticism of the US is brought up to downplay Putin’s warcrimes. No war but class war.
Where’s the Putin apologia? I mostly just see people celebrating Nazis getting their ass handed to them. Also, what other countries belong to Russia’s “empire”?
So true. Libs think that by pointing out hypocrisy, we’re trying to make a false equivalency or to excuse wrongdoing via comparisons to something worse.
No, the point is that the USA is weaponizing concern to push their agenda and silence dissent. Americans are the absolute last people who should be getting themselves involved in this conflict (more than they already have).
