  • Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?

  • Yes plenty. I didn't say "I do not live in the US."

  • Would be even weirder if people started going into meltdown mode every time a non-mbfc approved site was posted on .ml. Screaming at the .ml mods to delete the post and constantly linking their Zionist-ran mbfc site because they have been indoctrinated into using it.

  • Because Americans take over platforms and force them to obey American rules while pretending to be neutral. For example, LemmyWorld touts itself as an instance for everyone which is hosted in Europe.

    But its /News and /Politics community discourse is forcefully limited to the USA. This is incredibly weird if you stop to think about it for a second.

    Imagine if .ml had a /Politics community where the only allowed politics was China. And an unreliable biased Chinese website was to grade sources a credible, instead of the unreliable American MBFC website. Nobody would think that would be normal. But do the same thing for America and everything is fine.

  • Settler colonialism is not about race

    Have you ever noticed America being very white and not very native American?

    How about Australia?

    Apartheid South Africa?

    Russians do their settlement another way because they are imperialistically and national chauvinistically motivated.

    There's Russian colonization of Crimea but the goal of Russia is to annex Ukraine and forcibly assimilate its population. Not to wipe out or expell all Ukrainians.

  • 19.500 according to Ukrainian sources. Incidentally Israel has killed more children than this.

    The goal of settler colonialists is to wipe out the native population and replace it with their own race, not forcibly assimilate it.

  • So if Putin slaughtered all Ukrainian civilians you'd not be any more upset?

  • Russia wants it so that there are no more "people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.

    Haha what a play on words to make the silly argument look comparable.

    Glad you know you are wrong yourself :)

  • What is your evidence that Russia is doing settler colonialism instead of imperialism?

  • I agree with you that an antifascist alliance should have been formed and could have stopped Hitler much sooner and with much less death.

    You seemed to imply that the USSR gladly made a peace treaty with Hitler at the onset instead of trying to gather allies to fight Hitler first.

    Let me know which hyperspecific term for invading another country

    Imperialism. Unless the USSR expelled or tried to exterminate the citizens of conquered territory, that would be settler colonialism.

  • If I was defending Russia I would say that Russia was defending itself in Ukraine instead of annexing it.

    Not everything is settler colonialism or genocide. Most things are simply war crimes.

  • I didn't realize you were both sidesing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nor that Russia was doing settler colonialism. Very wise of you.

  • Like this?

    A few weeks after the Wehrmacht’s March 1939 occupation of all Czechoslovakia, and despite increasing doubts about Western intentions, Stalin again approached the Franco-British powers.

    On 16 April 1939, he submitted a formal proposition: a three-power military pact with the obvious goal of deterring Nazi aggression.

    Stalin’s diplomatic proposal mirrored the agreement in place prior to the First World War, in which Britain, France and Russia were bound together in an alliance directed against the German and Austro-Hungarian empires.

    Had Stalin’s approach been accepted, it can only have changed the course of history – as such a union would have ensured, right from the beginning in the event of a conflict, that Hitler faced a nightmare war on two fronts.

    This final Soviet offer of alliance with the West was snubbed, however, with the British in particular treating Moscow with disregard. Strong anti-Bolshevik feelings were widespread amongst the conservatives in the British government, and with Chamberlain himself.
