                Oh they know already. Those Nazis who support the USA and those who oppose it, both groups know full well.

                    Hold on. Wait a sec. What do you mean? Do you think Ukraine isn’t crawling with Nazis or what? You can’t possibly be still on last spring’s yank war propaganda?

              Lmao sure. Keep simping for the dictator that literally locked up Pussy Riot and LGBTQ folks for existing. Your projection and false concern bullshit doesn’t work for people with more than two neurons to rub together.

                    I don’t know why you think opposing America’s forever wars equals claiming that their targets are perfect utopias. The US literally has over 20% of the world’s prison population working as slaves for private profit. Why do you libs always try to use the gays to push your far right agendas? A few comments ago you were calling people homophobic slurs. smh

            If you are a proud anti-imperialist Marxist, I am Karl Marx and strip you of your Marxist label right now. You are a weasel and a grifter, and a useful idiot of genocidal Anglo empire.

            In a few days you weasels will experience horror, if you think this is too much. And your brain will either be dewormed or you get contained in some obscure Lemmy instance, or go back to Reddit, the CIA hometown.

        Anglosphere != the whole world. Anglosphere is like 10-12% of the world’s population controlling 85-90% of the world’s news media.
