Rainer Shea: Why I’m Pro-Russia & Pro-Rage Against the War Machine: Anti-Imperialists Can’t Win With Idealism

By Rainer Shea – May 12, 2023

When somebody rejects all of the practical paths towards fighting imperialism and class exploitation, on the basis that they feel we should be taking a purer path, then you had better make sure this other path is viable. If it’s not viable, and they’re saying this simply to complain rather than to offer a serious alternative, then you shouldn’t even entertain them. Because what’s the point of validating somebody who has nothing constructive to say? Unless an option is practicable, it’s not worth bringing up.

Donbass bombing is killing civilians. It is a crime to erect bases amongst civilians.

Donbass bombing is killing civilians. It is a crime to erect bases amongst civilians. But the Ukraine does not care. To them, it is Russian civilians and not humans. Shame on the West for staying quiet about this.

Is he supposed to say this?

Pretty sure you’re not ever supposed to say this.

I thought everyone was kinda sorta supposed to imply that it’s the Ukraine doing the “winning,” and also that if the Ukraine stopped fighting, Putin would kill everyone in the country out of pure, unadulterated mean-spiritedness.

US vs. Gonzalo Lira

Lambert here: As before, Lira hold dual Chilean-American citizenship. So Yves remarks:

I suggest Lira followers call their Chilean Embassy or Consulate to demand that Lira either be allowed his freedom or transported safely out of Ukraine.

Worth noting that Lira seems to be part of a more general enforcement of “Their Democracy”:

I love it that “glorification” can be a crime in Ukraine. We should do that!
