    We can do both, but one of them has a more defined paper trail.

    Capitalism’s trail of blood in your country goes back to its founding. It is incredibly well-defined and has been studied a lot (except they won’t tell you about it in school or many universities).

    And if you want a more concrete link between capitalism and trump, look at inauguration footage again, or look at campaign contributions.

    Russia’s entire state budget was less than revenue of just Apple in 2024. If your ruling class didn’t want trump, he wouldn’t be a president right now.

      You’re projecting. Maybe YOU can’t be nudged towards an ideology by propaganda, but millions of people can. They can be tricked.

      Until you realize that, it’s not going to get any better.

        The propaganda is coming from inside the imperialist house. Fox isn’t owned by some Russian billionaire.

            It’s because you called out russia. Now the tankies are here to defend them and blame capitalism for everything.

                  Americans doing the same fucked up shit americans have always done but at home instead of abroad, or to you instead of the usual minority targets? Call them russians! People correcting you? Call them tankies! You don’t need to have a coherent response, you can just hurl pejoratives and thought-terminating cliches at anyone who questions you and feel great about yourself even if you’re completely wrong and fantastically fucking stupid!

            At this point, I can’t see any other reason you’d stick to blaming “the russians” for the state of your country. Even if putin has kompromat on trump, putin is not the reason republicans hold all three branches of your government.

              Again, it’s not just “the russians” but so many of you are jumping out of your seats about it.

              So many of you from .ml that is.

              Curious.

                Ah, I see, this is a “just post” community, and you carefully follow the rules by just posting and not actually reading the content you post at any point. Hats off to you.
