The only thing I know about Lukashenko is whatever was in John Oliver’s piece on him; so absolutely nothing. If y’all can help me out on that I’d be grateful.
Anyway, just saw this on twitter and thought it was very sus.

Lukashenko is honestly the best post-Soviet leader, not really much of a compliment considering the bar is literally just being better than Nazi apologists but he’s at least protected the country from the level of neoliberal looting the rest of them suffered. Not much, but at least it’s something.
All these liberals calling for a “democratic Belarus” don’t care about Belarussians at all and would go back to thinking they’re second-class Slavs again once they get their Western-friendly government in power
That’s a very interesting second paragraph. I sometimes get in discussion with friends and Belarus is seen as the “ugly duckling” of east Europe. Definitely some “how does he dare say that? He should shut up and let us tell him what to think”.
I mean, some of his opinions are shit. It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have power to effect change globally, and it’s their country. Belarusians should decide what happens in their country. It’s not for us to police what their politicians are saying under the guise of regime change.
Same reason to reprimand Sviatlana (among others). She’s asking for foreign intervention to help her win in Belarus.
It’s such a dirty aspect of the Liberal condition. They “cared deeply” about Libyans for about 6 months whilst it fit their agendas, they “stand with Iranians” until they get their puppet in power and they’re back to being filthy Muslims who ruin the country. The sooner we realise these people will never ever care for us, never actually “get it”, we can actually move forward. The white Western liberal does not and cannot understand just how dehumanising they can be when they treat us like pawns
The same Liberals who didn’t even know it existed. It’s weird how all the countries that are being labeled terrorist states and the biggest threat to the planet have literally done nothing even close. So far as I know, they’ve been dealing with their own shit. It’s NATO countries that are constantly invading and they were the ones who started this war. The lack of basic critical thinking is very worrying.
