  • I love beef and pork skewers but to me xinjiang lamb skewers are the king of skewers.

  • Yeah and that's fine I think steak is far from the worst (chicken breast) but its just put on such a pedestal by western media and social media and I just dont get it.

  • Even outside the chudspace a lot of westerners at least online always seem to have steak on this pedestal as this amazing food when it's not even the best way to prepare beef which itself isn't even the best meat.

  • I have never understood the obsession with steak its so incredibly boring and mediocre even when cooked perfectly. There are so many better ways to use beef, skewers, hotpot, stir fried, braised etc. and honestly pork and lamb are just better than beef anyway.

  • It would be so incredible if the EU and US tore each other down through their interimperialist dick measuring. Unfortunately I just dont think Europe has the balls to fight back or stand up for itslef in any meaningful way before rolling over to tongue polish US boots again.

  • I heard she wasn't even shipping them, there were middlemen in the US buying them then shipping them without her knowledge obviously to Bahrain.

  • Yet another example of Amerikkkans (and white westerners in general) and their inability to conceptualize beyond what is currently directly affecting them. Shit hasn't changed in how it works you're just being subjected to it now instead of it only being for those "subhuman" immigrants and foreigners. I will never stop shouting death to Amerikkka.

  • Just to clarify a few thing I don't support Russia beyond them a pole against us imperialism at this current time. I also never claimed they were progressive please stop strawmanning me you shitlib loser and try engage with what I'm actually saying.

    All that being said, you are reciting liberal mythology and pretending it has any weight as serious analysis. “Russian propaganda” is doing all the intellectual labor for you. You invoke it whenever reality contradicts the story you were taught. It just goes to show how deeply invested in western chauvanism you are. You keep pretending the West is some fellow victim of neoliberalism alongside Russia. That is absurd. Western Europe and the US were not passive sufferers. They were the architects and beneficiaries of neoliberalism. IMF structural adjustment, World Bank debt traps, privatization schemes, EU accession shocks, and global financial domination were imposed by Western capital on the rest of the world. Russia and Eastern Europe were looted. The Global South was super exploited. Western corporations made record profits. Your welfare states did not fall from the sky because “democracy was chosen.” They were built on imperial extraction. Western Europe funded its middle class through the super exploitation of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the periphery. Cheap resources, stolen labor, unequal exchange, and military domination paid for your social benefits. When that imperial margin began shrinking, austerity became the name of the game. That alone proves it was never moral capitalism. It was imperial rent-sharing. Social democracy that you seem to hold in such high regard is not socialism. It is capitalism bribing one section of workers with wealth extracted from the rest of the world. That is why your welfare collapsed the moment the USSR fell and anti-imperialist movements were crushed. The money stopped flowing. So the mask came off. You keep saying oligarchs controlling society leads to collapse. Correct. That is capitalism. Not “Russian authoritarian culture.” Capital accumulation produces oligarchy everywhere. The US has oligarchs. Germany has oligarchs. Poland has oligarchs. Elections do not remove them because capital owns the economy before voting even begins. Calling Western capitalism “democracy” and Eastern capitalism “authoritarianism” is childish. You talk about minorities as if hatred originates from Russian propaganda. No. Reaction grows when material security collapses. People turn toward nationalism when housing, wages, healthcare, and stability disappear. Liberal identity rhetoric cannot substitute for bread. When capitalism fails to reproduce life, fascism appears. This is basic historical materialism. You also keep pretending Russia is some unique imperial monster trying to resurrect the tsar. Meanwhile the US maintains 800 military bases, sanctions half the planet, invades countries openly, and dictates economic policy across continents. But somehow Russia is the singular threat to world stability. That belief did not come from analysis. It came from Western media saturation. You are angry at oligarchs yet defend the system that produces them. You want revolution in Russia while defending the same capitalist structure in Europe that would crush such a revolution instantly if it ever threatened property relations. That contradiction is not accidental. It is social democracy. Social democracy is not the alternative to fascism. It is its moderate wing. It preserves capitalism during stability and collapses into repression when crisis returns. Historically, social democrats disarmed the working class, defended private property, and handed power to fascists rather than allow socialist transformation. Germany already taught this lesson once. You are not describing material reality. You are repeating the moral language of the empire. You replaced dialectical materialism with NATO talking points and think that makes you progressive. The far right is not rising because Russians whispered in Europe’s ear. It is rising because capitalism is decaying, imperial privilege is shrinking, and liberalism has nothing left to offer but blame. Until you confront that, you will keep chasing villains abroad while fascism grows at home.

  • You are replacing real analysis with a boogeyman handed to you by Western media. That is the core problem here. The far right in Europe is not the result of Russian influence. It is the direct outcome of decades of neoliberal restructuring. Deindustrialization wiped out working class jobs. Austerity destroyed social services. Housing became financialized. Wages stagnated while productivity rose. Social democracy collapsed after fully integrating into neoliberal capitalism. When liberal parties administer capitalist crisis, fascists fill the vacuum. That is not theory. That is observable history. The EU itself is a machine for producing reaction. It enforces privatization, bans state planning, attacks labor unions, suppresses national development, and subordinates weaker economies to German and French capital. Greece was economically strangled in full public view. Southern and Eastern Europe were reduced to cheap labor pools. This is what radicalized people, not Russian Telegram posts. In the United States the situation is even clearer. The US state has backed far right extremists for nearly a century. Nazi collaborators were absorbed and given prestigious positions through Operation Paperclip. Anti communist fascists were installed across Latin America. Death squads in El Salvador and Guatemala were trained by the US. Apartheid South Africa was supported until the very end. The Mujahideen were funded and armed, directly creating modern jihadism. None of this was hidden. It was official policy. NATO itself was built by integrating former fascists across Europe as long as they were anti communist. This is documented history. The so called liberal order has never opposed fascism. It opposes threats to capital. When fascists serve capital, they are tolerated or funded. Even today the West openly arms far right formations when geopolitically useful. Ukraine is the most obvious example, where ultra nationalist militias were integrated into state forces with full NATO support. No one in Brussels suddenly discovered a moral objection to extremism then. So the idea that Russia uniquely “pushes far right ideology” while the West defends democracy is fantasy. The far right does not rise because people are tricked by foreign propaganda. It rises because capitalism is failing to reproduce social stability. This obsession with Russian interference serves one purpose only. It shifts blame away from Western ruling classes. It turns systemic crisis into an external conspiracy. It tells people that nothing is structurally wrong with capitalism, the EU, or US empire. The problem is always an outsider. That is not analysis. Russia today is not socialist. It is not progressive. It is a capitalist state formed out of imperial collapse. Its actions are driven by security and market interests, the same as any other capitalist power. Treating it as the prime engine of global fascism is analytically unserious. Fascism is not imported. It is produced internally when capitalism enters decay. If Russia vanished tomorrow, Europe would still face collapsing living standards, demographic crisis, housing shortages, declining energy security, and an economic model that no longer works. Those conditions would still generate reaction. Blaming Russia is comforting because it avoids the real conclusion. The crisis is not geopolitical. It is systemic.

  • First authoritarian is a useless buzzword.

    Second Europe and the west has had an issue with far right freaks for centuries. Regan, Thatcher, The Nazis, and the list goes on and on. Putting all the blame on Russia is not only wrong it's just infantile bullshit.

  • You can even let them have 2 choices if they're extra good. They can vote for the communist party or the communist party painted pink so they know they really are making a difference.

  • Most of these numbers seem directly pulled from his or at least someone's ass. I didn't realise 1240 was only 360 years ago. But even taking them at their word China has controlled pretty much all of its territory since before the burger reich existed.

  • Not surprising in the least

  • First off no post would be better than this "I'm going to let the gestapo beat and murder me" post.

    Second is there really no middle ground between this bs and fedposting? He couldn't have just said he would take to the streets he had to clarify that he would stand there like a complete loser and do nothing once there?

  • I get the sentiment. But you should also understand that some of us are from the periphery and have lived under (or are still living under) the greatest immiseration machine in history, led by the US. From that position, it’s hard to be charitable toward the imperial-core “#resistance” model of angry parades and slogan-chanting. That approach has been used for at least two decades and has accomplished nothing. On top of that, a large share of these newly “radicalized” marchers don’t actually oppose imperialism at all, they just want the blue guy to give them back their treats and return to business as usual, where the periphery gets immiserated quietly and out of sight.

  • Definitely true I was just mainly addressing this particular set of incidents and their precedent.

  • No I'm neither American or on reddit I was going entirely off what was provided.

  • You just dont understand the people of the periphery aren't people so he's allowedremoved, murder and pillage us for money.
