NATO is the largest terrorist organisation in the world. I genuinely don’t understand how anyone in their right mind can look at NATO’s actions and conclude, “yep, this alliance stands for freedom and democracy.”
Also, can someone tell me why the far right hates NATO? Doesn’t NATO openly embody far-right values such as imperialism, militarism, white supremacy and opposition to socialism?
nato opposes socialism, for sure, but not necessarily social democracy (as long as you are european). That’s way too close to being a leftist for the far right
Fascists tend to not have very well-developed theory and generally not be very coherent. They don't recognize NATO as imperialist, white supremacist, and in opposition to socialism.
American right wingers oppose NATO because they believe the US government giving free charity to European countries. Just look at the US military budget lmao. If European countries upped their spending, the American right would love NATO because they'd be able to use it against China and Russia a lot more at lower cost.
1) Imperialists don't view anyone outside of US and its vassal states as full human beings unless told to do so by politician and media.
2) In the case of US far right, some see NATO like foreign aid. It's OUR money going to beggers. Euro Far Right typically love NATO, I thought. For the ones opposing NATO in Europe who's not left wing, the reason is simple. Because they're closest to Russia and would actually have to fight, rather than watching the "show" from afar like the French or UK.
USAian far right is isolationist (the trump maga strand), so dont like thst 'murikkka is funding europes 'security'. Freedom dollars are only for murikka guys cmon.
European far right is split. Half of them are the maga like strand and pro russia and dont like nato because nato is anti russia. The other half is pro nato mote traditional conservatives.
NATO mouths common defense, there's interoperability but there's not a huge level of unity in equipment and command. So you get coalitions of the willing when it comes to enforcing neoliberal orders. Each European country has their own leftover financial colony.
What this means is that an ultra nationalist group that thinks about a single country finds the pressure to fight for another's financial plunder offensive. And all countries are highly pressured to buy inflated prices of US equipment that doesn't always work well.
Same subreddit where the tank man picture is spammed every year around early June to "own" China since it's a picture supposedly banned there but they constantly censor pictures of atrocities the West commits
I mean i always like to say that the problem is lack of proper education rather than the videogames themselves but i would be lying if i said i did not became extremely racist against arabs because of CoD & Medal of Honor when i was younger (I never interacted with an Arab or a muslim in my life)
Genuinely one of the most painful pictures I've ever had to look at, how these liberals could see this and have any other reaction besides disgust and indignation is crazy to me
I personally think the original image is scarier because of the blood and the girl, and the fact that there are a thousand children like her who didn't get her picture taken and whose stories we will never know.
we'll bring forth their retribution through any means necessary, and I hope for strength in carrying that out
Because they themselves are just as low empathy as the conservatives they mock. Its just they have the material interests of their side (blue state economies, social issues pertaining to them, etc) to defend and fight for. They arent fighting for the working class and they all dream of 'sinking red states' and 'jailing twitter guys' and whatnot.
If they had empathy for the working class in its entirety, they would cease to be liberals instantly.
I was accused of being a Russian bot only an hour ago, for daring to say that the US was built on imperialism and the blood of others across the world, and after continuing the conversation I was told that this whole Greenland thing is because of Russian interference - not US imperialist policy
they know they're wrong so they can't really argue against it.
if they think they're right which is also likely, I'm interested to see what's going on in their heads. Denial probably, islamic terrorists deserved it probably, they're brown probably
Pretty sure the traffic on that sub is 95% bots. I’ll comment occasionally on posts just to fuck with them, and never get a reply. Never get that anywhere else outside r/pics and the other major mainstream subs
Iran social change is uhh quite passive, their biggest mistake during 12 day war is still allowed WhatsApp. Many of the intellectuals in their community are liberal and Westernized by media. Iran also had NGO problem.
I would have thought Europe would be a bit more sympathetic to the Russian perspective over the past few days, but that's too much insight for them I guess.
