Nazi Dictatorship gonna Nazi Dictatorship
If like me, you were wondering how this changed anything since they’ve been doing this for years, then you will find this part of the article to be relevant:
FTA: Martial law and a general mobilization were first declared in Ukraine in February 2022 and have since been extended numerous times.
So… in other words, no… nothing has changed.
Doesn’t really matter, because all leftist parties are banned.
still gotta cancel them to be extra sure; belt and suspenders. lol
Throwback to that time the secretary general of the socdem party begged Pedro Sanchez (from Spain’s PSOE) to maybe acknowledge their existence lmao
To stop the wrong person winning
Unironically a bastion of Western values
Ukraine democratically cancels local elections
RT? As in Russia Today? Complaining that the country they invaded isn’t holding local elections while they’re bombing the shit out of it?
Weirdly, no one has commented on straight up Russian propaganda.
Not many countries hold elections during an active war.
It’s remarkable that demradlibs used to be all “anti-war” during the Bush years but gradually moved so far to the neo-interventionist right wing through Obama that you’re cold war level gung ho for NATO and for spreading Russophobia.
In reality there’s absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about west aligned nations to have dysfunctional elections or open dictatorships and no amount of screeching about “western values” and corny reddit slogans like PutlerPutlerPutler changes that. Which is US/EU propaganda to the point of censoring “enemy” media but weirdly doesn’t bother you amirite.
So you assumed I’m an American liberal…
Firstly, I’m not American. I live in Europe. So fail one. Secondly, I’m a Socialist, so fail two. Fuck liberalism, and screw America, but ultimately, that doesn’t mean you have to swallow everything the enemies of American push. Oh, and I’m on Lemmy because I haven’t touched Reddit in a while. You’re the weirdest leftie that is still actively on an enshittified right-wing hell hole and the projection is real crazy. You cannot demand critical analysis from Americans, and fail in it yourself.
Oh, btw, Russia is capitalist, with many, many billionaires. The proletariat are not reaping the benefits of their exploitation.
I live in a world where you can be anti-captalist and not shilling for Russia.
Let’s go back to basics though, if you have a source saying something, you have to ask who said it, and whether they have a motive. Russia Today is the Russian state broadcaster. It’s a really dreadful source to use to understand a war Russia are currently in. I’d suggest you’d find a less biased source, but not too many of them are pushing Russian propaganda.
I’m really curious. How do you run polling stations, where you have to advertise to the public where they are, and to come there, and protect yourself from drone and missile strikes? I really want to understand how you can run elections where you’re being invaded. Can you help me out here? Any examples?
I get really annoyed with Libtards throwing around terms like “tankies” but you’re really kind of walking the ball into your own net (football reference) when you’re shilling this hard for Russia.
Almost all countries at war hold elections. I don’t know how, but they do. Yet ukraine doesn’t. Could have something to do with the nazis in charge.
