I thought you were insenuating that Euromaidan was a US coup, which is a common Russian Propaganda Copypasta. my mistake.

walk away from reddit. try to find a similar community to whatever it was you lost, here. if not, make one! if that fails. get a new device, and only use reddit when you’re away from your usual internet networks.

but seriously, its easier to just walk away from reddit. reddit is an echo chamber of extremism and hopeless cluenessness. on all ends of the spectrum.

The same thing happened to me and I largely stopped caring after I discovered Lemmy. its been a lot better for my mental health too.

Cuba cant make them leave. There isn’t an ally who can back them up and go toe to toe with them like there was for a brief period between 1950s and the late 1980s…

the conspiracy brain in me, looks at ranting from people like elon musk, who say there’s going to be a population collapse, and Im thinking of Resident evil, (the bad movies).

I think they’re banking on the hope that in 20 years there’s going to be billions fewer people in the world, we’re already close to setting it off with the unprecedented increase of state vs state wars since 2020. Azerbaijan/Armenia, Israel/Levant, and even bigger ones that we’ve not seen since the 80s like Russia/Ukraine and with all probability, China/Taiwan by 2028 at the latest.

they’re banking on there being less people to feed, house, and otherwise provide for. so they can fall back to a kind of corpo-feudalism

You lost me at Ukraine. Ukraine was a domestic revolution against a Russian puppet government that acted in defiance and betrayal of the Ukrainian people. The Ukrainians didnt need any help getting pissed off and rioting in the streets when their president stabbed the entire nation in the back.

that when the shit hit the fan and the Yanukovitch government was about to fall, every regional and global power on earth was scrambling to try to get a favorable outcome while the streets of Kyiv were being fought between a mob of protestors and those protecting the Puppet state government.

those “phonecalls” that Russian propagandists love to talk about, weren’t quite the Gotcha that they think they were, because dozens of countries were having those same phone calls, it doesnt happen often, but anytime a state government falls, thats actually normal for those calls to go on. Its outside actors trying to put the peices back together in a way that benefits them and their interests. (if you think Western countries having those calls on Ukraine’s future was bad, boy do I have a horse to sell you on what was happening in Russia, Short version, it resulted in a full scale war.)

People talk about what caused the Euromaidan and who was responsible for it all the time, but critical and central issue they never seem to bring up when they argue about “Big bad Russia, evil CIA coup, etc” is the Ukrainian people. The population of the country where it happened is treated as if it wasn’t a factor with agency at all, that they only revolted because some guys at the US embassy gave them some signs and told em to. that line of reasoning frankly needs to be told to fuck off.

I use the website / app for exactly one purpose, marketplace. buy and sell shit.

I still have messenger for work purposes, as well as some family and friends. but the “Feed”. the status updates, Fuck no. burn it all.

I stopped letting Meta take my attention once they started making my feed fill itself with “reccomended” “you might like” pages and profiles that I at no point ever clicked on or searched for.

before, my feed was exclusively my friends content, and pages I followed.

now, they fill the gaps with evangelicals, gambling, and idiots posting chinese and russian war propaganda.

yup, get the fuck out. im done.

2016-2020 : President of Alternate Facts 2025-2029: President of Alternate Reality

I mean I understand the tankie thing, the instance thing was what I didnt understand.

It would be an occupied territory without rights, basically Puerto Rico but given the nestle treatment to stripmine it of all resources, so in a word. No

Im still new to lemmy and unsure how the whole thing works, I’m redditbrained.

what’s .ml ?

Im just trying to imagine the level of state level lunatic copium that unleashes when Vladimir Putin dies. Imagine the theatrics and clownery that was North Korea when Kim Jong Il died, except its a country that’s been radicalized and mobilized by fascist wartime propaganda, I quite think they’ll start shooting each other out of rage and grief.

The entirety of NATO will have to preemptively go to the equivalent of DEFCON 2 upon learning that the tZar has died.

many tesla owners have unfortunatley discovered that the brand value on the market is heavily attached to the personal reputation of elon musk,

by that logic, it started in 2001 then, when NATO invoked article 5.

America’s idea of national security is the same thing as American Hegemony.

Under these rules, No one is allowed to pose a threat. even their own allies. that’s why the Fascist factions of America are currentley focused on taking Europe and Canada apart, they want subservient puppet states, not Powerful partners and allies. The EU needs to prepare for a future where it is no longer allied to America, this is the multipolar world that Putin talked about ,(although in Putin’s plan, Russia is in control of most of Eurasia, Nuking China too if need be, according to lunatics like Dugin/Ilyn)

So that being said, Europe basically has two futures, Federalize and Militarize, preparing to treat both America and Russia as Advesaries if need be, or do nothing, and get picked apart by the Fascists, Mafia goons, and megalomaniac tech bros who are trying to infiltrate every level of government by poisoning the elections with filth. Russia is still the enemy of the free world, But part of America is rearing to join them.

Canada on the other hand, Is looking more and more every day like a future of conflict with an Imperialist America is going to be a reality. Its not a fight we can win, but we will fight regardless. Everybody dies eventually. I’d rather die fighting american fascists and traitor “canadians” than live on my knees. If was was going to die in a conflict, I would have preferred it be against russian fascists rather than my own friends and neighbors of both my own country and the americans. but its all the same. you fight fascists because you must. If they are truly stupid enough to keep pushing this to the end result, they’ll live to severely regret it.

we are essentially fighting the same conflict as world war 2. the only difference is people forget WW2 wasn’t a 2 way conflict, it was a 3 way one.

Democratic Allies, Vs Fascist Axis, Vs Communist Comintern

the only thing that’s changed in 80 years is the second and third teams more or less merged into one.

Trump is dying. Putin is dying. Hopeful megalomaniacs are looking to fill the vacuum when the boomers pass on. Someone had to step up. Elon decides it’s his time

Ww3 already started 3 years ago when russia started shooting at Ukraine.

People just don’t believe ww3 is anything other than nukes falling. So global conflict with clear lines drawn * withoutb atomic booms . Many people thibk is just bauiness as usual

*(until America decides to switch sides that is).

Damn. Had me going for a second. I forgot that Le Pen is a family of French nazis. Not an individual
