Stop calling anyone who doesnt follow your narrow vision of events a liberal. It’s lazy. I’m an anarchist (and frankly not very interested in your bootlicking excuses).

This chart applies to every developing country in the world and says nothing specifically about China. Even Nigeria, a neo colonial hell hole plagued by famines, follows the same trend.

Yes and the 33 million people whose lives have been uprooted by the invasion, are undoubtedly very happy Russia is ‘fixing’ this with violence.

Except for Leninists.

The reason I am interested in the Ukrainian people is because I am European and volunteer in refugee relief. I am confronted with the human cost of this invasion on a very, very regular basis. The lives of 33 million people have been violently uprooted by the decision of a foreign state, and the only socialist stance to take in that regard is clear condemnation. It is that simple.

My question was: how does the violence of the invasion help the self determination of Ukrainian people?

I’ll be more explicit: why not simply acknowledge that the invasion is not only unlawful, but deeply immoral – and completely contradictory to the self determination of a people?

Right, so how does the full scale, violent invasion by a foreign state help the self determination of both Ukrainian peoples?

Question: do you believe in the self-determination of Ukrainians?

A conspiracy theory popular amongst delusional Marxists-Leninists, and that’s an important difference.

Still it’s funny to see these (often) so called anti colonial thinkers struggle with the idea of self determination of other nations. Nothing can happen without American involvement, obvs.

Basically reinstalling your OS because of an GCC update is the only gripe I have with Tumbleweed.

I wonder though, did I have the same with Arch? I don’t remember.

On behalf of my Uyghur friends who haven’t spoken to their parents in years, because they were imprisoned for their children emigrating: fuck you. A really deep, heartfelt fuck you.

Afghanistan did not arise as a result from colonial powers. That’s false and completely ignores the self determination of Afghans.

Also, the stuff you’re saying about how the country was just a simple, tribal place is actually very hurtful. Borderline racist.

While I don’t agree with the op, you’re kind of proving their point…

I don’t know. All I know is that the exhibition is purposely – and even justifiably – provocative. :)

Sorry but you completely misunderstand me. I am not claiming to be a victim at all?

I am not making a normative statement. I actually kind of appreciate the effort of the museum. But being astonished by the intended outrage is kind of… I don’t know, naive?

You are astonished that people are upset over gross discrimination?

Beef is fed (extra) soy. A lot of porc as well

They are also questions that are almost impossible to truly prepare yourself for. Although discussing them beforehand surely does help.

Depending on your hometown, that’s a terrible philosophy.
