Btw, this is the offending tweet:
https://xcancel.com/ZeynabDay/status/2081396221504008571I’ve seen liberals, be it those that support Palestine or Israel, come to unison when it comes to giving phull sapport to the Ukraine. Why? What gives?
Now, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that for the US government Georgia 2008 wasn’t the breaking line for the American empire, so much as the Ukraine 2014, simply because the Ukraine has far more resources in terms of arable land, industrial capacity, and minerals.
But what’s the excuse for the shitlib? Because those seem like ad hoc reasoning to justify a preconceived reason more than anything. Ofc the average shitlib is propagandized into supporting the Globalist American Empire (GAE) and whatever diktats it makes. Still, I think it’s worth asking how convenient it is that they’re so passionate about a country that is coincidentally one rich of resources (or illusion thereof, as some sceptics might say).
Indeed, shitlibs like Corey believe in the infinite goodness of the American empire, and so they’ll be the most conservative defenders of the status quo even if they won’t define themselves as such, with their sole issue with Trump being based on aesthetics more than anything else. Reminds you of anything?
Now, as Marx denotes, ideology and idealism often serve to mask what are in practice class struggles and other material realities. In this case, “western democracy capitalism” to a lib may sound like a just coherent idea, but in reality it’s little more than idealistic smokescreen for an imperialist war waged by the NATO imperialistic war machine against Russia, with obvious involvement from the cross-continental military cabal and arms industries. Whether you see it as a conflict between a proletarian and bourgeois powers, or intra-porkie bourgeois infighting at the expense of the global prole, it’s for you to decide. Nonetheless, much of the western propaganda about the Ukraine is clearly ideological crap.
For Eurocrats, there’s the fact that the war serves both to offset an European recession, and as a rallying cry for EU unity at a time when Europe is more disunited than ever. Not even anti-immigration serves as a proper glue as immigration is largely irrelevant to eastern Euros what with already having net low migration (both in and out of country) couple
