-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I failed to understand most of it, but I think this is a brilliant post. I've read it maybe four times now, and its beauty and mystery deepen with every pass.
What I mean in that screed is
1️⃣ people remained "neutral" but kept supporting the western narrative throughout the past 2 years
2️⃣ people don't have an actual geopolitical analysis, they have the libertarian "muh tax dollar spending" antiwar argument which is completely anemic. i would prefer ancient bandung maoist takes
3️⃣ the accusation of marcyism against people who do actual geopolitical analysis has been making a comeback, it's a great way to learn nothing from all this
what I recommend instead is everyone read abt that & also how western NGOs used things as innocuous as techno to lay the groundwork of the anti ethnic russian movement. look at how the far-right grows in poland etc
lmao i’m gonna steal this phrase
Thanks I think you're joking. Hopefully. I say bring it on bc they get to read these posts
Sincerity is hard to express on an anonymous web forum. This is the kind of posting that makes hexbear a special place. I like your post.
Yea they have the scoop here it is nice. People mostly don't tolerate imperialist takes here. I just think it's hard for everyone to both learn regional history + politics of Ukraine, and read a bunch of stuff about the development of the global south so they end up accepting a lot of premises which they shouldn't.
