This is one of those examples of someone using words without understanding their actual meaning.

Clearly the EU is an imperialist nazi state made up of multiple different independent nations generally not following fascism and being members on a purely voluntary basis. Did you not receive your shipment of tankie crack this week, comrade?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The fact that the EU is a voluntary coalition does not at all stand against the fact that many member states have been seeing fascist upswings, and that all depend on imperialism and neocolonialism to function.

"Nazi state"

Looks inside

Contains 27 states, most of which are not nazi-run

Completely and utterly stupid.

Many of them have fascist movements either in power or coming to power, and all rely on imperialism and neocolonialism.

How do you explain that many reuropean right-wing parties are pro-Russia?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Russia tends to be critically supported by the left, while being admired by the far-right for having hard power. The far-right like Russia for being a capitalist power that cracks down on the LGBTQ community, while the left critically supports it in undermining imperialism and neocolonialism.

"Many of them"

"Either in power or coming to power"

"Rely on"

The claims have changed so much it seems that you also disagree with the meme at this point.

If you felt the need to add all those qualifiers (not wrong, btw), then it's clear that you wouldn't describe the EU as an "imperialist nazi state" either.

And that's before we ask other things, eg why Ukraine and not Russia?

Because it's dumb propaganda

I would not communicate OP's broader point the same way, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I disagree with it. The EU is a coaliton of right-wing imperialist states, this is true. Russia isn't imperialist, while Ukraine is a tool of imperialism much like Israel.

Can you elaborate? It's fairly accurate.

Putin shills really getting desperate, astroturfing on lemmy cant be that effective, and holy shit this one is pathetic. Huge swing and a miss there gopnik

Isn't Ukraine a candidate for the EU? Such a low level bait...
