This chart is accurate. Real leftists oppose funding all imperialist wars and genocides.

Generated Image Description:

The image is a stylized chart or table comparing the stances of different political groups ("The Left," "Liberals," and "The Right") on two issues: funding the war in Ukraine and funding genocide in Gaza. 

The chart is organized as follows:

  • Rows: Each row represents a political grouping: "The Left," "Liberals," and "The Right."

  • Columns: Each column represents a specific issue: "Funding War in Ukraine" and "Funding Genocide in Gaza."

  • Cell Contents: Each cell contains a word indicating the general stance of the political group on the corresponding issue. The words used are "AGAINST," "IN FAVOR," and a more nuanced statement specifying a stance under specific presidential administrations (Biden and Trump). Color-coding is used to highlight the stances. Red typically indicates "AGAINST" while teal indicates "IN FAVOR."

Specific Stances shown:

  • The Left: Against funding the war in Ukraine and against funding genocide in Gaza.

  • Liberals: In favor of funding the war in Ukraine. Their stance on Gaza is more nuanced: In favor under Biden, but against under Trump.

  • The Right: Against funding the war in Ukraine and in favor of funding genocide in Gaza.

The chart appears designed to illustrate perceived partisan divisions on these complex geopolitical issues, possibly intended to provoke discussion or highlight perceived hypocrisy. The use of loaded language like "genocide" contributes to this effect. The chart's accuracy or neutrality is debatable, as the representation of stances could be simplified or biased.

"Real leftists oppose funding all imperialist wars"

Oh you mean like the one Russia started by invading Ukraine? Because that's why we were (and thankfully Europe still is) funding Ukraine, to oppose an imperialist attempting to assert control over a sovereign nation.

I'd call this take farcical, but a farce is supposed to be funny.

The Ukraine War is another US/NATO project to try and weaken Russia and start another regime change war, because all other ones worked so well, e.g., Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.

Russia did invade, which is against international law, but we cannot forget the history of everything that happened before; a great example of looking at the history is the propaganda pushed on us by legacy media about Oct 7 and the real genocide our country is funding against the Palestinian people.

Our next target, our warmongering country is pushing towards, is Iran and China.
