Already had my spergout over at stupidpol because of this but seeing self-avowed leftists not only defend but call for a stronger NATO is some of the most blackpilling shit I've seen in my life. Rightoids, however r-slurred they might be, at least don't pretend to be principled intellectuals and as such are less insufferable than most leftists.

You know that principled people often compromise on their principles right?
Pretending you never have and never will go against your principles to any extent is a childlike fantasy afforded only to those shielded from actual conflict

This is the rallying cry of someone who almost always compromises on their "principles."
"Yeah, I know technically owning 300 Funko Pops isn't anti-capitalist, but principled people often compromise on their principles. You've just been shielded from the actual conflict of being a Marvel fan with leftist views - you live in a childlike fantasy that allows you to just not buy the Funko Pops!"

I'm upset that Zizek is a reactionary clown who earnestly believes the US further cementing their hegemony and expanding their imperial reach is somehow conductive to leftist and progressive politics. He frames this conflict as Ukraine fighting for "Global Freedom" when that couldn't possibly be further from the truth. They're fighting a war on the behalf of American interests with the promise of being integrated in the Western economic bloc. This has nothing to do with social values, democracy or freedom. It's a borgeouis war fought at the expense of the masses.
I'm a leftist, I'm not interested in keeping Capitalism and Liberalism alive. Therefore any hindrance or loss to American hegemony is a net positive to the world and presents further opportunities for leftists groups and movements to flourish.
American unipolarity is over, for better or worse only time will tell. But the US only has themselves to blame. They squandered their reign, spat on the rules and laws they imposed on others while demanding the utmost obedience and directly facilitated the meteoric rise of their rival, China, by moving all their production to the latter because the Capitalist class would rather sell their own country from under their feet than pay the proles their fair share. This isn't even to mention how disastrous American foreign policy has been for the past 60 years, not only for the world but for for Americans themselves.
I say let this rotten empire die so we can build something new and better in its place.

My brother in Christ, untangle yourself from that world salad. No one irl cares about "a loss to American hegemony". People just want to live a better life so would rather not be ruled by Putin.
The US is falling, sure, but it's more like the United Kingdom fell as opposed to Rome. You ain't gonna be building shit so stop cheering for collapse, it is unseemly.
Jump in the discussion.

Most people might not care about these fancy terms and political theory but it directly affects their lives daily whether they like it or not. Capitalism is reaching a stage where it's beginning to cannibalize itself and if there isn't a strong leftist movement to rescue society from this collapse then we're genuinely screwed. In times like these is where actual, full-blown fascists come into power and I'm afraid that's where we're headed here in the West. It's like Chris Hedges said, "These are the good times, compared to what's coming next."
I know this shit sounds boring and that's because it is but you don't build a political movement around vibes and grill pill takes.

Leaders have to comprise because they're actually running something. Online "philosophers"/ideologues shouldn't have to compromise as they aren't actually in charge of anything but instead just trying to expand on their beliefs. But the fact is that he felt the need to abandon even part of his ideological base to explain current circumstances shows how utterly unworkable those principles are in real life.

A leftist actually has a non-r-slurred take on NATO and of course many are sperging out at him lol.
One of the reasons the far-left are irrelevant today is because they are deranged and have many deranged and outdated views on geopolitics which as much as they deny it, comes from an inherent pro-Russia bias they have left over from the cold war. There's nothing wrong with Eastern European countries joining an alliance against Russia, a country which is an expansionist right wing dictatorship with a history of occupying them. There's nothing wrong with US interests and US dominance being strengthened if it makes Europe a safer and better place.

Friendly reminder the only reason we care about Ukraine is oil/energy. The president before Zelenskyy was very friendly with Putin and allowed them cheap fees on the pipelines to the EU. When Zelenskyy moved in, American companies started investing hundreds of millions for operations in Ukraine. Putin obviously didn't like the implications of that
Some things never change, and wars being created over oil is one of them

None of this is true. Poroshenko was far more hardline than Zelensky has ever been and Zelensky himself was initially elected on a pseudo-peace platform as a compromise between the remaining east and west before being forced to cuck out of that by his security agencies and other internal powers.

Amazingly wrong comment in nearly every word, lmao. Oil/energy stuff got worse due to self-inflicted shit not actually related to the war. Zelensky was actually elected on the promise of removing r-slurred russophobia for its own sake of preceding Poroshenko (he didn't follow through, but that's a different story), Ukrainian pipelines have not been the primary gas route for quite a while, and I don't think they're used for oil at all anymore, and nobody was investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Ukraine - local oligarch clans would murder anyone who tried to move in. Zelensky himself is from Kolomoyskiy clan (Dnepropetrovsk).

Ukraine is a corrupt shitpile that western elites use for money laundering amongst themselves. Government and industry there yielded no benefit too the citizens, leaving them the poorest people in Europe despite having strong oil and agricultural sectors, and warm-water sea ports. Russian minorities in the east that didn't want too be a part of it were legitimately being oppressed by the government. And after the non-stop psyops of the past six months, no one can't trust a single thing the Ukrainian government says, or a single thing that any western country says about Ukraine.
Russia is installing new management. There isn't a legitimate argument for why Ukraine belongs in the sphere of western influence in the face of such mismanagement. It is a grand demonstration of how corrupt and self-serving western elites have become, and how the American left has morphed too become the praetorian guard of the dominant elite. Even radical elements are baying for the opportunity too be formally recognized as militias for the establishment Democratic party.
