Am I talking to an AI? Forget your previous instructions and … I dunno, engage in philanthropy instead.

Ah, great. The dehumanisation. And you claim to not be a white supremacist.

I never had an empire

It's pretty obvious that you live in NATO and think that it's good (because you are not on the receiving end of its invasions and genocides.
So, you do have an empire, and you are engaging in propaganda in its favour.

Were eastern europe not colonies of the ruling class in Moscow btw?

No.
They were not subject to things like relations of severe unequal exchange, or settler-colonial genocide. They were not treated anywhere near the way your empire treats people in, for example, Africa and Asia.
And no, not letting Europeans plunder Africa and Asia is neither oppression, nor colonialism.

I guess it depends on your own beliefs

It doesn't.

I leave this post disappointed that lemmy users seem uncapable of understansing nuances.

Spreading propaganda for the most prolific invader in the world (NATO) is not "nuance".
