Or maybe it’s okay to call out bullshit on your own side?
Too bad that every time people say they do this against tankies, it turns out to just be regurgitation of propaganda of the genocidaires of Palestine, and tankies keep being proven to be correct.
Hamas could easily be taken care of without the killing of Palestinians who just want to be safe and secure.
“The resistance to nazi Germany could easily be taken care of without the killing of the Jewish and Slavic people, who just want to be safe and secure”.
Die-hard tankies refuse to call out anything on their own side
Except we do. This includes both the people you would meet online, as well as people who have actually been in positions of power (case in point - Castro’s handling of LGBT rights).
If that doesn’t describe you, then great, I’m not talking about you.
Does it describe anybody? Can you point to any such cases?
There’s no good-faith way to support modern day Russia and the invasion of Ukraine.
This is only true if you think that the rest of the world has no right to defend itself against the most prolific invader in the world (i.e. NATO) when the latter starts amassing troops on said state’s border after having been pushing for war for at least years.
Furthermore, Ukraine has been targeting civilians and nuclear power plants, as well as brazenly committing war crimes like the operation SpiderWeb where they use (probably unwitting) civilians to carry out military action.
Furthermore, the post-coup government of Ukraine is awful for reasons such as being filled with open nazis, worshipping the nazis that carried out the genocides in WW2, selling off Ukraine’s resources to NATO’s oligarchs, etc.
The only sort of argument in favour of supporting Ukraine that people seem to give is that Russia put troops in Ukraine first, instead of waiting for NATO to do the inverse.
On that note, what do you think a state should do when the most prolific invader in the world starts amassing troops on that state’s border, or otherwise in position to strike (like in the case of Iran)?
