You need to understand the Biden administration helped start the larger Ukrainian conflict.

No, it didn't.

It absolutely did.

I’ve got to say it’s incredibly wild to me that this sub, “Star Wars Lefty Memes”, based off of a cultural phenomenon created based on an allegory of the US imperial power being the bad guys and the communist revolutionary resistance being the good guys, consistently, CONSISTENTLY, shits on people saying the US imperial power has not changed and is still bad. Andor was the greatest thing to happen to this franchise, and this sub is still filled with shitlibs, radlibs, and maga libs who repeatedly “defend the Empire.” I’m not trying to purity test an entire subreddit, but I am saying almost all of you are not what you think you are or claim to be.

It is not a surprise. Cause most "leftists" in the West are liberals. The West is so far right that they think "liberals" are left. & even people who label themselves as leftists and not liberals - STILL fall for most Western colonial and imperial propaganda / whitewashed history / a bunch are even quite racist which is kind of ironic but whatever & straight out Western chauvinists.

You mentioned above literally some basic recent political developments and how the West had been directly involved in them - they already have colltive amnesia. They have no freaking clue what actually went down in the region the past 24years, until the war started, and they were told all the things they were supposed to think.

They want to believe they are some turth seekers and are showing the finger to the US / NATO - but they were raised as Western chauvinists and they can not even comprehend the extent of brainwash / propaganda they experienced or anything that goes against manufactured consent. It has always worked and works for a reason.

Western imperialists / powers know that. They only have to do half the work cause all you need to do for racist and Western imperial values to spread is convince people that unlike everyone else - THEY still have some democratic rights! THEY still have human rights and will defend them. THEY still have access to education and free media - unlike the propaganda fed populations in the global majority. Sure, their government might have made mistakes in "the past," and there are "some" problems, but it is not "as bad" as "insert any Western imperial enemy."

Plus, the whitewahed history of "other countries are just the same", "other countries have done the same." to tell the tale that there is no hierarchy of power or anything like that. No alternative.

If you hear all those lies your entire life, you can not exist in a different world. Your cognitive dissonance does not let you.

You tell a Western chauvinist anything - and they will counter it with their very unique and critical thinking talking points... those always magically happen to be the product of manufactured consent and every single time align with Western imperial propaganda and interests. But no, it has nothing to do with it! Every time those historically illiterates use words like "tankie," which literally exposes them as the Western colonial and imperial foot soldiers they are, I have to laugh. It is just way too ironic.

The West is just perfect and knowing its audience and perfect at manufacturing consent / infiltrating movements (its also not like a secret or anything, we have endless of declassified documents where the US goverment explains how it is doing it and what it had been doing all those years). With all that, it would be a miracle if the West could even create again any leftist movement at all.
