  • A collection of imperialist states that have decided to share the profits of imperialism, is, by most honest people’s definition, an imperialist state itself.

    And of course the EU has mechanisms to enforce ‘anti-imperialism’ on its member states. It doesn’t accept states with slavery, it coordinates sanctions against states that invade other countries, it coordinates sanctions against states it believes are not democratic, it can punish its own members for violating EU law.

    It’s just not against EU law or morals to own slave states, as long as you have one singular layer of obscurity.

    The reason I brought up France, one of the most important members of the EU, one of its only nuclear shields against Russia or the US, one of the most economically contributory members; is because it’s the first one that came to mind — and also it’s really, really fucking bad when you criticize Russia for fucking anything when France has done worse in the last decade and a half and had zero consequences for its actions. Not a single EU member state protested against the France-led war on Libya which resulted in the violent death of a democratically elected leader and now a failed state full of warlords fighting over the remains while EU-backed and endorsed terror groups (Seriously look into Khalifa Haftar) funnel oil to Europe.

    The EU is imperialist because the majority of the most contributory member states making it up are imperialist, and it does nothing about it. Because they’re the good imperialists, peacefully raping Africa and the global south.






  • So generally you got three things happening that give the illusion it happens way more than it really does. Choctaw/Chinese/White mix btw. Yes that order is weird.

    Anyway:

    1. White Americans want an identity, and the one they’re born with is broken. The US education system really, really fails to define ‘White’ in any way that makes sense, because as an identity it doesn’t make sense unless you’re racist. Most white Americans actually do understand this, and either embrace it while secretly denying it, or do anything possible to deny they were the ‘bad whites’ and that just happens to be their skin colour and then overcorrect and cling onto any identity they can find in their family history which brings us to:

    2. They probably are mixed somewhere around 1850-1920. Statistically they are. Lots of what are now white people mixed with brown skinned people during this time. During this time period Natives that were ‘integrated’ into society had their identity stolen and they were rebranded as either ‘mulatto,’ ‘the old word for black,’ or ‘Mexican/Latin (if they were in a real fancy area.)’ During this time in American history many “white” ethnicities were not considered white, most famously Irish and Italians were lumped in with the ‘slur for black people,’ which included pretty much all natives at that time that weren’t backstabbing their brothers and sisters by sucking up to the whites (not naming tribes but some tribes did end up better than others for some mysterious reason). So guess what happens when a bunch of disparate communities get together? They mix. The mixing was also encouraged by every single christian group in order to help ‘mellow out’ the native influence (i.e. actual cultural genocide to the survivors of the big genocide). It was also encouraged by a minority of natives themselves, i.e. if you mix with a white person you get their money/protection/you won’t be as subject to violence. This was ultimately wrong as an idea and was never a majority view… but it happened.

    also rape and forced marriage if they are white but not italian or irish. Statistically that’s a thing, especially if they’re more than 1/128 and over 30.

    That also brings us to:

    1. Being native after the 1980s is a good thing, actually. You get a lot of federally guaranteed things, on tribal land at least. For example the only group besides congress which gets free healthcare* are native Americans. You’re also seen as ‘more legitimate’ of an American for some ancestor of yours being here longer, and you generally have a better sense of community and belonging once you’re confirmed into a tribe (which can range from actual DNA tests to just finding your ancestor and proving you’re related).

    For white people that don’t care that much and don’t want to go through that trouble but want to belong to the native group for clout, just saying they’re related gives them that feel good ‘I’m a real american, I’m special and not just white, I can’t be the bad white because my alleged ancestor suffered.’

    To really narrow down the problem, the white identity sucks for obvious reasons unless you want to go full racist. The American identity sucks if you’re white skinned, because of the whole genocide thing, also it’s too new, too cosmopolitan, and not real to most other people. And most white americans have no cultural basis from their immigrant past because either they had to integrate to survive, it’s shameful, or they come from the whites that hated the countries they were from (i.e. the English whites.)

    This leads to any attempt to latch onto something they’re missing at their core, mainly due to the natural alienation that comes for everyone under capitalism, but especially in a cosmopolitan nation built to integrate everyone under a constructed identity.

    Has nothing to do with it. You didn’t read any part of the comment, you replied with a generic response based on trigger words.

    You can buy lemmy accounts pretty easily and cheaply given they just need emails. Any account of any age could be a bot, hell most bot farms specifically use old accounts obtained either through exploits or purchasing them en masse.

    If you act like a bot, pretending all critics of Ukraine are Russian bots despite them directly calling Russia a genocidal fascist state that illegally invaded Ukraine, then you get called a bot.

    Try not to be indistinguishable from a bot next time.

    Leaders of the Azov battalion believe the White Ukrainian population is part of the master race and have sought to exclude all other ethnicities in Ukraine from calling themselves Ukrainian. Explicitly when the war started there were reports of Azov members killing LGBT Ukrainians,

    Ukraine itself, as a state, operated closer to nazi germany than any other type of government until very recently, as in when the west installed Zelensky. Since then it has stopped all democratic activities and has become a military Junta that frequently has purity purges of political positions, and since democracy isn’t a thing there anymore, these positions remain empty.

    Zelenskyy has been on record multiple times praising Israel, Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, likening himself to Netanyahu(literally a nazi), praising Ben Gavir(literally a nazi), and promising to make Ukraine a the bigger version of Israel (a nazi state that has been committing genocide for 80 years).

    Ukraine should not have been attacked. They are the victim. That is bad and Russia should lose. Russia, being a capitalist hellscape of the US’ making has also turned into a supremacist state bent on genocide of vulnerable populations to keep their myth up.

    Both countries, however, tick off at least 10 of Ur-Fascism’s features. Neither is a good country. Neither is a democratic country. Neither is a country that cares about the working class. Both should be destroyed, separately, by worker’s revolutions.
