not particularly, voting issues are far too complex to neatly align everyone into a broader tent without some kind of gross overlap issue. but I’d at least like to know what general direction Im supposed to be sitting.

I identified as moderate, or progressive conservative, and at least intended to vote that way. in my 30s (Not American but adjacent, we haven’t had an election since I entered my 30s and im 32.)

but then I just kept seeing the self identifying conservatives, basically being a hair away from goose-stepping. r/conservative is fucking terrifying, its a good thing im banned from reddit.

(Turns out Im probably a NeoLib / NeoCon, Not down with the super progressive stuff but still tolerant of it. Just wanting people to chill the fuck out with their rhetoric. but apparentley, My kind is dead now, so . Maybe its time for Yee-haw fuck the law?)

Sorry, Thanks to American Exceptionalism, (and Americans misunderstanding what that term even means). They will never, ever, ever ever ever admit that they are wrong.

The next logical step is to start seeing rambling about “god is with us, jesus is on our side” etc.

Is it me, or does this seem like a deliberate gaffe to rile up the opposition.
send everyone into a tailspin over a worthless fake "gotcha!’

I prefer the days when they called them dill. and then the ukrainians just own the name dill, and call themselves ukrop sarcasticallly.

(side note ukrainians put dill on fucking everything, my buddy tried to put it on french fries once)

RF is a Cult of personality, pretending to be a Mafia, pretending to be an empire. pretending to be a gas station masquerading as a state.

Im still learning Lemmy, but for once it finally sent me to a place thats cool.

hello fellow vatnik tankie red-nazi z-gonk dunkers.

To be clear. What I’m talking about is russian influence and blackmail that ultimately leaves Europe divided and Infighting. Without the physical force part.

Effectively giving them the result they want without fighting the war of conquest to achieve it. I’m aware they can’t fight for shit. Ukraine showed that. But they are still tearing the west apart with information warfare.

The time to act on this was several months ago, now its too late. Russia regulatory captured the US, the US wont go to war alongside Europe against Russia now, So now, Europe either has to prepare for a shooting war, or accept russian hegemony over europe.

Ukrainians in 2022 - we are very lucky they are so fucking stupid Russians in 2025 - we are very lucky they are so fucking stupid

Information warfare is Russia’s specialty, in that its the only way they can fight NATO. Convetionally, they would be wiped from the field. and they know that. the Ukrainian army, that was "supposed " to last 3 days, completely shitrocked them and fought them to a bitter standstill for 2 years to the point the only way Russia could push forward, was by getting Ukraine’s allies to stab them in the back (information warfare).

They dont stand a chance in hell of defeating NATO militarily so their only option is to have NATO tear itself apart politically, (the third option of NOT being an imperialist warmongering sphere of influence obsessed peice of shit, is not negotiable, that concept is practically joined at the hip with Russia’s very identity)

the most furious debate of all time will be whether the United States is owned by the AIPAC, or the Russian Mafia.

if they aren’t in one pocket, its the other

Anyone crying about nato and specifically citing the ukrainian azov battalion. Is almost certainly a Russian Z Nazi or supporter of them. It’s an easy way to identify them since it’s an oddly specific combonation of groups to hate.

And for the record. Azov never would have existed if russia didn’t start a war against Ukraine in 2014… eat me
