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.

The level of indoctrination and delusion is insane. Even as they and everyone they care about is beat and murdered they cant even conceptualize taking any meaningful action. It's honestly terrifying how the average denizen of the Burger Reich is so comfortable under the boot.

I genuinely hadn’t thought about this until just now after reading this article, but it’s kind of darkly funny that Chinese monarchies (via the Mandate of Heaven legitimizing rebellion when conditions for the masses deteriorated) can be argued as more progressive in some senses than modern Western liberal democracy. A literal monarchy having a more materially grounded notion of legitimacy than today’s ‘democracies’ is wild. And at the same time it must be immensely sad, if you live in the West and aren’t fully on board the propaganda delusion (if you see things as they actually are rather than the ideal they insist exists) you’re basically trapped inside a system that can’t even acknowledge its own failure.

It's kind of sad that even in their seeming rage they can't seem to even imagine fighting back in any meaningful capacity.

Your comment relies on a childish conspiracy story rather than any real analysis. Calling this a “false flag” and asserting secret Trump–Putin coordination without evidence isn’t serious thought. It ignores material interests, observable behavior, and well-documented power dynamics in favor of a simple good-guy/bad-guy narrative.

A more grounded way to look at this is material reality. The U.S. is lashing out at allies and neighbors because it is a declining imperial power under economic strain. Profit rates are falling, industrial dominance is slipping, and internal political legitimacy is weak. In that situation, imperial states default to pressure, militarization, and threats to reassert control and discipline allies. This is not a secret plan, it’s how empires behave when their economic base starts cracking.

Finally, conflict between imperial powers is normal. The U.S., EU, and Russia are not working in harmony or through hidden puppet strings; they are competing blocs with sometimes overlapping but often conflicting interests. NATO states undercut Ukraine constantly due to their own economic limits and political calculations. You don’t need a grand conspiracy to explain that, inter-imperialist rivalry and self-interest already do the job.
