What you don't seem to realize is that Trump is a symptom of the underlying problem. Once he's gone, there will be somebody just like him or worse in charge.

Trump is an idiot and he has plenty of ways to fuck up his own plans. However, it's obvious that the US has Europe bent over a barrel at this point. Europe is entirely dependent on the US economically and militarily at this point. The US holds all the cards in this relationship and that means Europeans will simply have to accept the punishment.

So your complaint is that the US can no longer do interference around the world unilaterally and that Russia is countering US propaganda with their own. Interesting take there.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everything you've written applies to the US. In fact, the US has entire organizations like USAID and NED specifically dedicated to the types or interference you're complaining about. Nothing Russia has ever done even comes close to that.

So, you're saying Russia does same things the US and other great powers do? The problem with your "argument" here is that nobody actually showed that anything Russia has done actually swayed the election in the US.

Oh man wait till you find out the kinds of interference the US does around the world. Russia just follows the rules based order here as established by the hegemon.

You are wrong about vanguarism being bad because history clear shows that it is the most reliable method for actually combating capitalism. Anarchists refuse to accept this basic reality and continue advocating approaches that have failed time and again for over a century now. It's quite telling that this ideology exists primarily in the western imperial core.

thank you for providing an example of dialogue that's detached from reality

A better question is which instances have dominant points of view that actually align with the material reality we inhabit. Difference of opinion is only valuable when the opinion is grounded in factual understanding of the real world. It's valuable to have different views and interpretation of the facts, but if a view is divorced from reality then it's just noise.
