My understanding was that user Shrike is a Russian user living in the Russian Federation which is why I responded at all. If they are Russian-American or Russian-“israeli” then that’s a different story entirely.
Russians are Schrödinger’s crackers: white when one wants to dismiss their suffering from being on the receiving end of imperialism, Asiatic Mongolian hordes when one wants to slaughter them.
I understand your pain on this and don’t wish to downplay it. It is vile what the eurocolonizers have done to you and continue to do.
Regardless of Shrike’s circumstances as an individual. The way I see it, with exception to the comprador and collaborator classes in their respective nations, Africans (in Africa, the Caribbean, and America), Chinese, Russians, Arabs, Asians, Latin Americans and the rest of whole global south have shared class interest. That interest is in seeing through the annihilation of the US empire.
And it is in imperialist interest to cause schisms and hide that which is why they spread propaganda about “Chinese imperialism” and “Russian imperialism” and “Iranian imperialism” etc. They say “look how this nation treats women, or gay people, or such and such ethnic minority we must denounce them” when it is in fact imperialism that has inflamed those contradictions to begin with. They do not want to see nations align. They want to keep everyone fractured. All this to say that conflating white Americans with colonized people outside of America/EU who are under attack by imperialism is probably not helpful for anyone except the imperialism.
I don’t think it was you who did anyway, you’re good there dude. Either way, one of my lower replies p much sums up where I’m at with this: assuming that’s the case that he’s Russian, which I’m trying not to disbelieve, then the literal last things he should have led in with were the top three responses of every aggrieved Amerikan kyle who this actually does apply to. As a result, the pattern-finding lobe of my brain is locked in hypervigilance regarding “then why tf do you talk like Amerikans do on this subject?”.

Edit: I did not downvote you. See below.
