I get that you’re having a bit of fun. On a separate branch here, I make a similar point.
What people argue about is how much of one makes it “x.” They can seldom say it’s not capitalist, socialist or even communist.
We quibble over which side of a line it lands. And googling this lead to about a 50/50 split between capitalist and socialist.
I didn’t pull the idea that they’re capitalist out of my ass.
And all of the side stuff is people completely missing the article. It’s pedantic and cheap intellectual points and so rarely thoughtful or insightful.
Is lemmy usually this wannabe edgelord?
If you adopt a specific outlook, the duplicity is less stark.
Russia is attacking a sovereign nation and when they took land, they took people. To most, that makes them the bad guys.
Backing away from that and making this a geopolitical chess game, both players have coaches. Sounds fair.
