Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I have no choice but to abandon gummunibm and reassert myself as a Marxist-Leninist-Bidenist.

No but seriously, it seems like Russia sucks. Thoughts? Does this inform your perspective on Ukraine at all? Does this speak to the biases of the film maker? Are you like "fuck the Olympics anyway"? In essence: you seein this shit?

I would argue that any action that weakens NATO and American hegemony at all would be in Russia's material interest, and thus he would have some material reason to do it almost by necessity. However, even if he had objectively bad motivation to start the conflict, there would still be room for critical support.
