    Libs that constantly talk in mainstream movie quotes really grind my gears. Imagine having a discussion in real life and some fucker decides to constantly talk in LOTR quotes. Congratulations, you think an entire country should join a war because a fucking talking tree in some racist movie said so.

      If you step back and look at it the way people talk on reddit in general is crazy. It’s literally just an ungodly mix of gross horniness, pop culture references (not even ones id think a lot of people irl would get) and absurdly patronizing arrogance when it comes to discussion and no room for anything else. If someone spoke like that to me in real life I’d be trying to get far away from them very quickly.

        Do you mean to tell me that somebody called u/sendn00dpics writing in r/literallyvoldemort is not your go-to source for insight into global politics?

    This guy is such a scam artist. The narrative is working though and America is printing money to spin up the war machine. Meanwhile BRICS and other eastern-oriented alliances are being formed. The world is tired of America’s 75 year reign as World Police.

    You cannot remain morally neutral against evil.

    I raise you a contender: Nicolas II.

    Otherwise, what a find. What a find! Perfectly encapsulates the liberal mind.

      Nicholas is arguably better.

      He at leats tried to modernize his country (within the limits of an authoritarian monarchy government). And the wars he joined werent on the side of evil.

      Zelensky is just a puppet sacrificing his country for someones else profits.

        Nah Nicholas was much worse. Zelensky is a scum, but a puppet, not a driving force of what is happening in the least. While Nicholas was an absolute monarch with every instrument in his hand, even if restricted by material conditions and his own ineptitude. And he didn’t “tried” to modernise, he did absolutely everything he could (was also incompetent in this but he did tried as hard as he could) to turn history backward, every concession for every class except the most backward aristocracy was forced on him. Even the most reactionary Russian politicians like Pobedonoscev or Stolypin had to act around him.

        And how did he enter the history? As most incompetent of all tsars. As Nicholas the Bloody tyrant who could not even do a little good, but demanded blood all the time.

        “And the wars he joined weren’t on the side of evil.” Didn’t he go to war with Japan for a bunch of Chinese territory when Japan had already offered some for free? (He lost both and many lives). And in WWI both sides were just “evil” imperialists.

          Japan kinda was an imperialist power itching to conquer China. And in WW1 I cant consider the austrohungarians with their demands to serbia, the ottomans with their empire, or the germans trying to replace anglo-french imperial power as the good side.

          Ultimately, the russian empire wasnt the side that started the war.

            The enemy of your enemy isn’t necessarily your friend. You don’t need to apologize for the Tsar just because those they fought were also bad and so are modern people (this started with Zelenskyy). I’m just saying it’s not productive to debate lesser evils.
