Comment on Hexbear federation megathread
s0ykaf@hexbear.net 1 year agoAs I mentioned above, it’s not balanced at all. You don’t see the same (if any at all) anger towards Russia as you do the US, Ukraine etc.
of course you don’t see it
in my country alone america has 1) supported a military coup in the 60s, 2) fucked us over their loans in the 70s, causing hyperinflation that lasted into the 90s, 3) fucked us over through the IMF from the 90s to early 00s and 4) supported (as we now know) a soft coup in 2016 that ended up resulting in lula’s arrest and bolsonaro winning the election
meanwhile russia has… existed in eurasia and helped us create BRICS??
why would i hate russia more than america and its satellite states? even if putin is an asshole, an anticommunist piece of shit who was part of the group that destroyed the USSR, he just hasn’t done to us what american presidents have.
and hexbear users in general, since they really are leftists (as in, anticapitalists of various flavors) are very much aware of what america and their puppets do with us in the 3rd world, while russia doesn’t really screw us over much at all and in fact tends to play an opposite geopolitical role. so why is it so surprising that the animosity towards the US is way more noticeable?
