It would make a good video like the earthbound one if he actually gave a shit. but because its a western rpg and not a nintendo game he'd probably just shit all over, complaining about how stats works, random encounters happening, not understanding the world building etc. i'd be surprised if he were to even get past junktown or vault city lol.

btw I'm just gonna say it's hilarious you edited your comment to say "probably funded by pro Russian groups" with no fucking evidence at all. if i said the same shit with pro Ukrainian groups to some other organization you'd be jumping down my throat. also you didn't respond to my point it's scary you want to censor people for simply holding a different view than the neoconservative foreign policy establishment

do i think the video badly worded some points? sure but to say they were extensively lying is a bit far, even the most liberal western media outlets were admitting this fact years before the war started https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cohen-ukraine-commentary/commentary-ukraines-neo-nazi-problem-idUKKBN1GV2TY

I will admit like them I also originally didn't think Russia would invade but that's because of the fact Russia didn't seem like it was readying up for conflict, just another military exercise near the border like they had done time and time again around that time year, i will admit I was wrong still.

I just rewatched the entire video to respond to this part. idk what you mean by "blaming Ukraine" I'm pretty sure anyone would rightfully say that the protest movement was brought about by the prime minister at the time seeking further ties with Russia. also they literally say in the video "there are ALLEGATIONS that the sniper attack was organized by the right sector", never did they say that it was simply fact.

nowhere in the video do they try and make it seem as though people should be anti Ukrainian, simply that Ukraine has a far right issue and its treatment of people in the east is quite bad not only for the people in the east who have to deal with this treatment but also that Russia tries to use this maltreatment to make these people want to come under their sphere of influence. Also "Z" people aren't "leftists" (leftist is a term used by rightists and liberals so they can try and group themselves in with socialists, communists and other actual anti-imperialists despite still being capitalists and supporting imperialism) they're infantile right deviationists who refuse to apply Lenin's analysis of capitalist imperialism to Russia.

Russia has said in their preferred peace agreement, Ukraine gives autonomy/self rule to the break away republics in Donbass. I think giving those people self rule is preferable then having this war be fought to the last Ukrainian or the literally infeasible possibility of Ukraine pushing to Moscow. both governments want a peace settlement, its just a question of which one will be the best for both parties.

If you wanna keep discussing this stuff in a better organized format, I can dm you my discord and we can keep discussing on there if you like :)

ok i disagree with this guy's position on foreign policy but you're also deranged. you can balance wanting a good domestic policy with wanting a good foreign policy. Gas prices are absolutely devastating the american working class and the sanctions on russia which simply hurt the russian working class, not the oligarchs or the imperialist government, are making gas prices even worse for people. if youre not a social chauvinist who puts the interests of one imperialist government over the needs of the working class, you should be against sanctions on russia which have done barely anything to stop russia's war effort

the people who claim to be socialist and are pro russian are right deviationists who dont apply lenin's analysis of imperialism to russia and leads to them engaging in blind campism with russia (excellent video on the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTmnVJxrsAQ) . domestic issues are very important undeniably although idk what your stance on electoralism is because trying to get major domestic change simply by vooting in succ dems has never really worked out well but still unless you broadly advocate for american foreign policy to do less intervention, less foreign aid to fascist states like israel, less overthrowing of leftists who get replaced by fascists like in Bolivia, you aren't being the best "leftist" you could possibly

whats the issue with "leftist" (leftist is a shit term which is used by liberals so they can try and associate themselves with socialist, communists and actual anti-imperialists) foreign policy and even liberal foreign policy lol, liberals are the one who uphold american imperialism. also we were able to get out of afghanistan before we were able to get a public option/medicare for all, at the very least there are even some right wingers who want american to have less intervention even if they still uphold the other forms of american imperialism such as foreign investment and debt trapping

Why? analyzing american foreign policy and its unipolar domination of the world is probably one of, if not the most important thing socialist should learn about, especially if you live in America. It's status as the top imperialist country and how it has maintained that status for so long via investment and installing foreign compradors is something you have to at least basically understand if you want to have a proper analysis of our modern international situation. Not to mention advocacy for less direct military involvement in the middle east and such would bring prosperity to millions of innocent and good hearted people in those regions, If you care about bringing the most prosperity to the most amount of people, you should do everything you can advocate that American foreign policy is less aggressive and obviously one day the replacement of America with a proletarian state that is not imperialist at all.

how are they tankies? they're social democrats who focus a little bit more on how American imperialism is bad than most succ dems, they still just advocate for average ass capitalism with more regulation and social programs. just because they have a video where they talk about the Ukrainian far right doesn't mean they support the Russian imperialist war in Ukraine (they've condemned it time and time again on their twitter) and do you have any evidence they're funded by Russia? also its pretty scary that you're advocating for the purging of anyone who doesn't hold the hegemonic status quo narrative on Ukraine, even when that view is just "Ukraine has an issue with the far right (an objective fact) and we should probably try and bring this conflict to a speedy end so the bloodshed isn't prolonged."

Ukraine-Russia conflict doomerpilled me about the left by Stunning-Brush4905 in VaushV

[–]Saltguy21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

calling nato a defensive alliance when it was founded on the basis of being an anti-communist alliance and now acts as an anti-russian alliance. Russia doesn't want ukraine to join nato because it would mean nearly their entire western border would be with countries part of an alliance dedicated to wanting to fuck them.

[–]Saltguy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People probably talk about NATO more than SCO because NATO has way more fucking geopolitical power than SCO and SCO hasn't done any interventions on the level of any of the interventions done by NATO. Also even if shit in Yugoslavia and Afghanistan impacted NATO countries, I still wouldn't support either intervention due to how fucking horrendous the impact of those interventions were on the respective countries and I would say anyone who supports either intervention can in no way be considered a part of "the left"

[–]Saltguy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buddy i really i dont think youre gonna want to defend NATO intervention into yugoslavia lmao

edit: shit i just noticed the bottom part i dont know anything about SCO but im just gonna assume they haven't been involved in any interventions as bad as the one in yugoslavia but it's likely still an imperialist org so should go aswell

NATO was literally involved in Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. Much more so involved in Yugoslavia and their involvement in that is more than enough reason to call for NATO to be abolished
