They literally asked for protection because they tried to do what you said they should and were met by siege warfare from their own government.
Oh yeah I quote from that book all the time at the cash register lol
It is when the person being replied to is clearly engaging in bad faith and refusing to answer the simplest of questions.
until an ideal situation allows them to improve their lives in a way everyone finds acceptable?
Craziest part is that a lot of people that follow that line of thinking have also at least recognized the immediacy of police and prison abolition in the context of places like the US but can’t seem to take the next step in applying the same logic to places outside the imperial core.
Well they were, for the most part, until the illegal dissolution of the USSR in 1991.
They get buried on reddit because it is full of liberals, reactionaries, bots, and literal Nazi admins.
You literally did not answer the question.
What do you consider to be “properly monitored”?
Also I have never once posted or even visited the Nazi shithole that is 4chan so nice ad hominem.
You could start by actually answering any of my questions.
You folks are wild. You act as though history somehow emerged from a stagnant singularity in 2014.
This is what no historical materialism does to a mfer.
Crimea also voted on a referendum.
If you somehow uphold US/imperialist approved votes over any other countries’ idk what to tell you.
You sure sound like one.
So no answer then?
You still did not answer my question:
What constitutes - in your eyes- “properly monitored”?
Come now I am trying to ask questions in an attempt to get them to question the shit they have been immersed in from birth. As excellent a use of that emoji as that is I think we have a miniscule chance to maybe reach this person if we can get the gears turning.
Independent monitors to make sure the vote is fair
And who are these independent monitors?
That sounds really similar to the harm system in Matryoshka actually.
Like there are 7 points of harm anyone can take and as they pass certain thresholds they can receive wounds both physical and otherwise that may cause negative modifiers to subsequent rolls on certain stats or even just in general.
Like in the campaign I am in my character almost got themselves killed in a monomaniacal attempt to communicate and study a psychic entity and wound up just letting them literally live rent free in his head.
The amount of times I heard the phrase “sand n-word” still sticks with me.
And what gives you the right to determine what “properly monitored and implemented referendums” are?
Also Russia is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie just the same as the US so that argument holds zero water here.
I am genuinely curious what your metrics for what constitutes a legitimate referendum are.
The series is based on the movie and it’s really good.
Yeah it’s wild because back then I was called a terrorist sympathizer for being against literally turning Iraq and Afghanistan into a sea of glass, and now I get called a Putin apologist for holding a consistent and principled stance on the right of self determination for people in eastern Ukraine.
I keep getting called a tankie on twitter by people that have no fucking idea what anarchism is (and no shade on tankies yall are my comrades and I am actually helping an indigenous friend build an org centered around indigenous struggle in the imperial core centered on scientific socialism/decolonial Marxism)
Allow me to answer your question with a question: Do you believe in the right to self determination of people in the Donbas?
Tfw you’re one of te only principled anarchists online and trying to carry weight for an ideology consistently misunderstood by a b unch of teenagers.0
