Ukraine--the county literally being invaded by Russia--is an imperialist, war mongering tyrant? Get the fuck out of here with this slop. Could've just left it with the main flags, but throwing Ukraine's flag in there is legit braindead Chinese/Russian trolling.

I laughed at seeing Finnish flag there. TORILLE

If the US is running the show then yeah it's definitely imperialism, we've very clearly succeeded in mongering up a war there, and I do recall some pretty unambiguous reports of the current regime in Ukraine directly suppressing opposition parties and suspending elections

Ukraine isn’t imperialist; it’s a vassal of US empire.

Ukraine is a vassal of western imperialists, similar to Israel.

"How can they not be a Good Guy if they're fighting a Bad Guy!"

Liberals continue to get there politics from capeshit.

Chinese/Russian trolling.

Just openly admitting that you see all foreigners as interchangeable villains.

On a case-by-case basis I can strip every one of those flags away from libs except NATO and Ukraine. Usually stemming from a deep immovable hatred of Russia and China. Not sure how to make headwinds there without explicitly calling them racist because that's how they sound

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

I genuinely thought NATO shouldn't be too much trouble as the libs I know barely have any idea of what NATO's history is and it should be a simple matter of teaching them but nope, the Russia hate is too strong.

It's impossible and your choice is to either leave the point or lose the friendship

Libs already hate Arabs and Muslims so I would be surprised if any had anything positive to say about Saudi Arabia

[–] LemmeAtEm@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago

You're assuming libs apply their racism consistently rather than in whatever way immediately suits their interests. "How can you accuse me of hating black people, I loved Obama!" -countless libs.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Libs like dunking on Saudi Arabia for doing the exact same thing their own countries do.

The tides are changing, I see. Or the Americans are asleep, lol.

Or you’re in an .ml community which has a larger proportion of people who agree with the sentiment in this meme than lots of other instances.

Plus some people who don’t share those beliefs have probably blocked the instance, so there’s likely that bias too

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 month ago

Usually memes like this get 1:2 likes:dislikes or 1:1, but this seems closer to 2:1.

Even then, even then... but perhaps you're right and I'm being too optimistic. 🥲

What was originally below the Saudi and Argentinan flags?

[–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

in what world are ukraine and finland empires or anything like that?

[–] mikodzi@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because this post is a propaganda in itself :-( “east bad, but what about west; west is bad equally” type of bullshit.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

The west is far worse than the east. We don't agree with western narratives about western enemies.

[–] Internetexplorer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The west is just as bad or even worse than the east.

British empire, America attacking countries yearly.

It is just western propaganda that the west are the good guys
