While i share you criticism for “liberal” (particular in the American sense) warlust in general, we cannot look at the current situation without acknowledging the russian agression. And Putin is most certainly not a liberal.
The spillage of blood is a valid criticism in so far, that the West was reluctant to support Ukraine properly, only tossing lifeline after lifeline, dragging the war out.
Empowered the nazis to take the sudetenland…wait no, we aren’t making that mistake again and that’s pissing you off. Russia is nazi Germany and Ukraine is czechoslovakia here. The parallels are so close it’s frightening
The genocides of Capitalist Colonialism in the past 200 years have a far greater death toll than anything “leftists” have done. If you look at King Leopalds actions in the Congo, or Britain’s in India, and South Africa…
I mean, Hitler didn’t just come up with the idea of having concentration camps. They were already a practice of Western and Colonial powers (first tried by The Spanish on Cuban farmers, the photos of piles of human bones from “The Reconcenstrados” are quite eye opening)… And the practice was almost always done with the enrichment of Capitalist business interests in mind.
Capitalism has always gone hand in glove with the enrichment of the ruling classes at the cost of the lives of the poor, vulnerable, and dispossessed.
Capitalism was the economic model of the Colonialism that came to define the world as we know it today.

When you can’t win through facts, limit when you’re talking about. Might as well look into a career in statistics, might be less difficult to make bullshit arguments sound not-insane. All while ignoring the lives being destroyed globally by capitalism in the current era.
Liberals want more war. It’s good for business. My city’s economy is going better thanks to ukrainian blood.

The NATO killed socialists politicians and empowered nazis (look up Gladio operation).
No way I side with them.
If you’re so opposed to NATO, do you side with Russia then? Don’t they do the same, on a larger scale and more openly?
Do you side with neither? Is siding with neither not accepting aggression with all its consequences?
What’s your alternative? Your solution?
Uninformed take of the day lmao

The world isn’t black and white and there is no good guys vs. bad guys. The opponent of a bad guy is not autmatically a good guy.

So does Russia.
You don’t need to side with any one imperialist. Just with the Russian anti war movement, i.e., the people most repressed in this current situation.

If it was liberals that wanted the war it would be happening on russian soil.
Are you using this word in the correct sense or in the common US sense?
The lefties killed many more tho

You are focused on two centuries and more ago. I am talking about the last 20 years (upto 60)
