The rightoids have abused the award system to protect themselves from losing arguments for too long.
The rightoid powers of this community, as dim as they might be are unified behind one cause: the destruction of our values and the nullification of free expression, when that expression contradicts their deranged fantasies.
The admin team has fired a warning shot across the hull of the rightoid blob. I have been made immune to awards.
Be warned future action is planned should rightoids continue to debase our community.

Russia's going to achieve their overarching goal: Crimea recognized as Russian, recognizing of the independence of the breakaway states, and a new constitution that explicitly says Ukraine will not join blocs (the EU or NATO). Ukraine using civilians as shields has really slowed down the russian war effort, though I'll give you that russian logistics were shit.
Because you're pizza.
In the American sense neoliberal means corporate democrat. Pro intervention, pro free trade, pro markets, socially progressive(ish), Anti-union, pro censorship (to an ever increasing extent). etc. They are the bidens, the bloombergs and big tech.

Stopped reading after the first line lmao.
If after that Putin oped you think russia just wanted the breakaway states and crimea you are profoundly deluded and discussing a topic well out of your depth.
Your definition of neoliberal is hilarious though.

Then wtf is your definition of neoliberal because I gave the commonly accepted one?
Can you read the entire sentence pizza. If you did, you'd see
Russia is fighting this war to prevent Ukraine from becoming part of NATO or the EU (and to get the, which Crimea recognition would do for off shore and the breakaway states would do for in land). To do so means removing the current zelensky regime. I'm sure there are other, less important aspects Putin wants, such as a relegalization of the Russian language in Ukraine and a dismantling of azov and co, but those aren't the big ones.
Pizza you have no idea about affairs outside of America so please stop talking about them.

My point is "neoliberal" has no common definition and morphs from convo to convo depending on what the r slur that used it wants to attack.
It's an academic catchphrase that leaked into mainstream discourse and was weaponized by neurodivergents to mean "any problem in the world or think I do not like"
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12116-009-9040-5
Even if we want to use your laughably wrong definition (where's the austerity? Does not fit your need to attack me so you edited it out) how am I pro corporate? Pro censorship?
How am I anti-union?
You're just making up your own definition of neoliberal and it amounts to "all of the people I happen to disagree with"
The point is neoliberal is a meme term used by academics to talk about things beyond their intellectual horizons.
Be smarter.
Also Putin tanking his own economy and turning Russia into venezuela proving himself to be irrational is not halting the expansion of NATO, but making NATO more attractive to anyone around Russia.
The "NATO SECURITY THREAT" shit is primarily Russian theater.
Ukraine will be hostile to Russia forever now, and Russia has completely destroyed any chance of being anything other than a poor mafia state or Chinese client state.

Pizza this is r-slurred. You know as well as I do that when somebody says neolib, they mean the definition that has been in power. In america, that means corporate dems like Biden or Bloomberg or Buttigieg.
Hasn't existed in American neolibs since bill clinton
Are you really asking how being pro free trade and pro business turns very corporate very fast? Again, please look at the mainstream dem politicians.
Have you paid attention to dem positions of misinformation?
Because the original neolibs of the 80s and modern neolibs both show themselves to be anti-union. Again, you are a bidenbro, you should know this
Really believing the NATO propaganda too much there buddy.
Doesn't matter. Ukraine Must not be allowed to fall to nato. That's the belief putin has, and it's pretty accurate. Plus are you forgetting about the large amounts of oil and gas Ukraine has off their coast and in their majority russian border regions that threatens Russia's position?
Your entire post is coping, sneeding, and acting purposely dumb pizza. It doesn't work.
