    This comment is so real it hurts.

    I just had someone trying to convince me that Russia can’t be imperialist because they oppose the US, an imperialist nation.

    … that’s not the definition of “imperialist,” my dear tankie.

    Not sure if linking it so others can laugh/cry is “brigading” worthy of getting me banned off of various Lemmy communities/instances or not.

    Fuck it, here’s the thread:

        Never heard the word “irredentism” before, looked it up. It’s literally fascist logic. Do tankies seriously not realize that the logical endpoint of irredentism is a world made up exclusively of ethnostates?

        It’s more or less exactly the content of this post here. Literal Russian propaganda, I’m sure. Couldn’t confirm 100% because I don’t waste my precious time checking what Russia has to say about their invasion, but I’m sure the term/topic of “irredentism” comes up and never “invasion” or “genocide.”
