Being genuinely anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, etc. means that you're that way across the board, no matter who is doing it. You don't whitewash the Ottoman Empire or Japanese imperialism just because they weren't "white" in an American sense (and in Japan's case, buy into their own propaganda, as they used the specter of Western imperialism to justify what they did to other East Asian/Pacific countries). You don't make excuses for modern Russia trying to take over Ukraine or other sovereign natures in Eastern Europe. If you truly believe in self-determination then it doesn't matter who is trying to prevent that. This shouldn't be hard, right?

Putin went on Russian television today saying that Ukraine belongs to Russia because it was Russian territory during the days of the empire. There's absolutely no anti-imperialist theory that would applaud him for that. None.

Now he’s waxing philosophical about the Ottoman Empire, imperialism, and human nature. “Humans? We are the most dangerous animal. Other animals, they kill when they need to. We kill when we think we need to. It is not the same.”

He just monologued about climate change and the military industrial complex, and the difficulty of having a Balkan identity when every Balkan country changes hands “every twenty years”. “Our history is getting swallowed by the biggest fish, and that fish getting swallowed by the next biggest fish, and so on.”

congrats lil buddy that’s the worst anyone’s ever done it

last night I literally shot awake in the middle of the night with the thought “if we add another term to ‘gaslight gatekeep girlboss’ we can make a harder better faster stronger parody”

gaslight harder, gatekeep better, girboss faster, gaybait stronger, more than ever hour after hour work is never over
