Aw, you think you're not a liberal

So I'm not a true socialist unless I support Putin's war of aggression. Got it.

you don't really have to support Putin per se, many of us including myself would feel glee watching him be put up against a wall by communist revolutionaries, but supporting NATO is a pretty big dealbreaker given NATO's imperialist and fascist history. e.g. Several Nazi German officials being put into NATO's government. Gladio and funding of fascist stay-behind groups in the event of Soviet invasion. Yugoslavia. Libya. I certainly want NATO to be destroyed, hopefully from within rather than without to prevent nuclear war, and unfortunately for us, the reactionary state of Russia seems to be the best bet to maybe have that eventually occur.

also, stop calling things "wars of aggression" unless you're going to call everything a war of aggression, my god. what an annoying thought-terminating cliche.

Absolutely nobody has said that except you.

Very typical lib talking point though. What socialist spaces do you get your news and information from? Any at all? Or do you just immerse yourself in liberal spaces then end up repeating everything they say and wonder why socialists all call you a liberal? Serious question btw. What socialist media and socialist spaces do you actually participate in and follow? How can you possibly consider yourself to have gotten rid of the liberal brainworms you've had your entire life if you continue to immerse yourself within the liberal superstructure?

I think you all made things pretty clear when you consider that the only thing I've actually done here is make it clear that I don't support Russia in this war and am being blasted for being a "lib" for doing so.

You're being delusional. I don't owe you anything.
