    It was less a joke and more an observation that you are acting more invested in defending us empire than the people actually getting paid to do that.

      Being opposed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is not supporting the Usan empire. I am European. I don’t want to be invaded by Russia.

        you seem awfully interested in making lists of antiwar leftists for someone not supporting the usian empire.

        your angle isn’t even original. arch-conservative anticommunists have been making lists of my comrades along with our places of employment for years now.

        it may all be a joke to you but in the last couple years i’ve literally had 3 letter agencies kidnapping people off the street outside my apartment. i’ve had comrades doxxed by zionists for attending protests. there’s been law enforcement showing up to intimidate my comrades at their day jobs, asking probing question about our organizing work.

          a joke

          Have those actions you mentioned been directly related to support for Russia?

          It might seem like a joke to YOU, but trying to push “neutrality” in this conflict, when Russia is invading a country close by and making incursions into other countries nearby, is an existential threat to my country, its citizens and my family. Nothing exists in a vaccum. You are pro-Russia, not anti-war.

            none of those state crackdowns i mentioned have been related to russia, its been for feeding people, opposing genocide, tenant organizing, and being immigrants.

            i’ve had comrades getting arrested for this long before trump; granted under trump was the first time i saw someone get dissapeared for almost a year even after their bail was paid.

            You are pro-Russia, not anti-war.

            classic doublespeak; war is peace clearly

              Ok, I am sorry to hear. I have many issues myself with USA and it is anything but a model for a nation.

              You cannot simply allow an aggressive nation to get their wants with consequences. Or ideally, at all.

                the us has been at war for over 90% of its history, i don’t see how the us can escape the label of ‘aggressive nation’ by any measure. it would be nice if every other country stopped collaborating with the us and israel. every former us president should be in prison as the war criminals they are.

                i am opposed to workers dying in inter-capitalist conflicts.

                  The nations of Europe are not Usa. Ukraine is not Usa. The life of Ukranians won’t be easier if Russia is allowed their goals.

                  Personally I think every single treaty Usa signed with native Indians should be honored. That, or some combination of land grants and privileges.

                    russia and the US/EU/NATO are all capitalist imperial powers and ukrainians are now caught in the middle dying for the geopolitical interests of both sides.

                    the life of ukranians is already hell, i am opposed to people dying in inter-capitalist conflicts. as long as its workers killing workers over lines on a map on behalf of capitalists it’s a tragedy that i want to see end.

                    the world would be a better place if the US as it is today ceased to exist
