Yes imperialism also bad

It would be worthwhile looking up:

  • Western financing and arming of fascists,
  • the Odessa Massacres,
  • the renaming of streets to Nazi collaborators and their celebration as heroes,
  • the brutal torture and murder of eastern Ukrainians since the installation of the Western approved Ukrainian government after the previous one underwent a coup following refusal of IMF loans,
  • the brutal subjugation and torture of minorities since the Western approved ukrainian governments
  • the two Minsk agreements aknowledging all of the above that the EU failed to uphold to stop supporting the Nazis,
  • the 8 years the Eastern Ukrainians requested Russian intervention before they did 2 years ago
  • ukrainian refugees complaining that they are housed next to brown folks if they get the chance to settle in western europe (like what kind of person does that after escaping war)

These are often standard operating procedures against most of the Global South (except for the last point) the only difference here is it is happening to white folks.
