These idiots decided to pass a law that places our main anti-corruption agency's control in the hands of general prosecutor, essentially destroying it's independency. All in one day, probably thinking nobody's gonna notice.

Not that everyone was amazed by our anti-corruption bureau's work anyway, but it's a huge step back in our progress, and people are on the streets protesting.

Almost everything these fascists will throw at you is a projection - people who do mockery of Jesus's teachings will call you a satanist, Epstein island club will call you a pedo, people who stole the election will accuse you of doing that yourself, Russia will be "concerned" about upholding democratic principles in other countries, while being the main stakeholder in ruining democracies abroad.

Well, I believe many are just trolls. There was that one Reddit community, that caught my eye, that was mimicking Bernie Sanders support community, that was actually just non-stop regurgitating Russian propaganda, but sometimes covering it up with some left populist slogans.

Was funny seeing them react to Bernie condemning Taco Don for trying to conspire with Pooty.

Well, we do really hate our government, especially today, these damn morons.

But if anyone approached me and started talking that usual contrarian bullshit about this being not people's war (when one side clearly intends to once again destroy our independence and enact final solution for our culture) but some "war for interests of oligarchs" or whatever - my eyes will be scanning for any loose bricks in vicinity.

I really hope that there will be some serious warnings to our parliament and Zelensky, not just "deep concerns". They've basically destroyed independence of our main anti-corruption agency and put it under control of main prosecutor. And worst of all, some of deputies voting for that are themselves subjects of active corruption investigations.

With USSR I at least can somewhat get the sentiment, after all there are/were many folks nostalgic for these times in ex-soviet countries.

But tankies lick boots of modern Russia - that is literally 19th century style colonial empire with extraction-based economy and clepto-autocratic leadership. And China - literally the oldest still existing empire - Rome was just a city, while China already had an emperor and recorded history of "civilizing the barbarians".

There is a long history of anti-China movements catering to the west for sympathy

Now what the hell do they expect of people that China wants to kill or "reeducate"? Who they expect these people to ask for help?

Same thing with Ukraine aligning with West. Guilty of being murdered by Russia.

Well, he's now gonna fight woke gay nazi globalists, so mission accomplished? Kinda?

I also saw some folks claiming they voted Trump to "provoke revolutionary situation". So there's also that.

I'd say that if one rounds up a village, drops the people on a ship and sends them off to other continent to have their liberty restricted, possibly also previously killing old and sick ones, who've no use for forced labor - that's definitely a genocide. Specific cultures were absolutely targeted too, because more advanced cultures with somewhat centralized authorities could actually fight back.

I would argue about transatlantic slave trade though. Deaths of millions of people, immense suffering, destruction of societies and cultural erasure. There may have been some cultures that have simply gone extinct then due to people getting hunted for slave trade.

Defending Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad.

Ah yes, the infamous Marxist-Islamist menace.
