Even if we take at face value the idea that the situations are equivalent (they aren't), anti-war Russians face more consequences than anti-war Yankees do. The primary purpose of Yankee liberals showing up to the subreddit of a European colony and repeatedly apologizing that their government is threatening to colonize it twice over is definitely to make themselves feel better and not to actually help the people being colonized.
On the other hand, it's really funny that the reddit moderator posting this is Swedish.
I will say the Americans here are pathetic, but by treating the American capitalist and proletarian classes as a single "American class," the OP is turning an issue of capital into one of the nation. They are giving us all an excellent example of false consciousness and how that undermines proletarian internationalism.
I generally agree, I just don't think the situation is identical to Russia/Ukraine. As I said, OOP is a Swedish lib so I don't trust the motivations behind the post.
However, the sentiment would be understandable and not incorrect from a Greenlander. I very much doubt the American proletariat would actually do anything at all to oppose this unless they thought it would personally harm them.
The American proletariat in all likelihood will not do shit, but that does not mean you can replace the Marxist theory of class struggle with natlibpessimism just because the international working class is at a historical low point .
There are definitely valid arguments for the analysis that the American proletariat profit (or believe they profit) in some ways from imperial ventures and therefore support them. This one, from a Swedish liberal, obviously isn't one of those.
