Russia is simultaneously a defeated country on the verge of military and economic collapse but also capable of long term colonial scemes far from its homeland.

We need to colonize you or xi jinping will personally come build roads and hospitals

In way more worried about the Niger coup leaders ties to the US and taking part in US military (AFRICOM) training exercises in the region and meeting US generals, than any hypothetical links to Russia lol

Has the “Russia is behind the coup in Niger” thing actually been in the media? Or have the liberals connected the dots themselves?

Doesn’t matter what media they consume or who they claim to follow; settlers will always cleave back to ‘we must preserve the conditions of colonialism’ at the first iota of resistance. Consumption and fandom are not equivalent to morality.

I’m fairly certain that there’s no evidence that Russia had anything to do with the coup.

He doesn’t use that reddit (to my knowledge) and considering it’s reddit… not that surprising. Reddit is dominated pretty heavily by neolibs, far righters trying to fit in with libs and a couple super tiny left communities. It’s a website mostly consisting of Americans, Canadians and Western Europeans (according to IP traffic data), so, again, expected outcome.

For example, go read (or… don’t) r/news or r/politics. For one it’s 100% US centric (even though it’s not USnews or USpolitics) and two it’s all regurgitated, word for word, mainstream CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc. talking points. Any questioning of any narratives is deleted, banned or at best shadow banned/downvoted so it’s not seen. It’s been like that for at least a decade. I’m not even joking when I say I think the state dept or something like that has control over those subs in order to direct conversations towards specific issues. I noticed huge swings in narratives over the years (I hate myself and read their dogshit opinions for many many years) like in 2016 when Bernie got fucked, all the liboids were on that shit immediately (despite Bernie being very obviously the most popular on the subs for months ahead of that). This is all anecdotal of course, but I’m pretty sure my thoughts bear out. Regardless, if there was ever any contingent of socdem types, they’re all run out now and replaced with libs so far right that I often can’t tell the Nazis from the libs in their talking points.

There’s also constant unrestricted brigading against anything associated with Hasan in any capacity by Nazis online. One community in particular likes to constantly post out of context or even in context, correct takes, but “bad optics” (from the common reddit/Nazi outlook. Like anti cop sentiments) on a different subreddit where they all brigade the fuck out of the post while trying to play dumb about what brigading is… it’s all children being stupid. Reddit should probably be avoided unless you just like to have hate-fuel for libs

Tldr reddit sucks shit

are the ‘‘wagner’’ with us right now in the room?

Here’s another screenshot

Now do Pakistan… also ruled by a military junta put in power by Biden and Blinken. Nope, libs will avoid that all costs when it’s a military junta they like.

Yeah tbh his subreddit is lame as hell, i think his discord is the much more popular offline community? Idk i tried looking in there years ago and the vibes were not great there either though…

There’s this hubris in the western left to think materialism is just a way of thinking that lets you understand everything just by virtue of being rational.

“Look, I’m a materialist, so I say, colonial powers aren’t especially evil, they’re just big countries and every big country just want to exploit the smaller countries.”

I wouldn’t say that’s inherently stupid, but it’s extremely ignorant of all the work done around the question of colonialism. But it’s fine for the white lefty overconfident enlightened ones who can figure out everything by themselves.

Lol my brother was on that post and some lib that frequents r/neoliberal had a comment that said like “waaah😭Ruzzia won’t treat them better than France, the people probably don’t want them there😢” like stfu the Russians in Niger have NO reason to start shit unnecessarily! There is an ACTIVE and DEADLY war raging between Russia and Ukraine rn, if you are a Russian soldier, you probably really don’t want to go to Ukraine. Yea Ik that the Western propaganda is hyping up Ukraine a lot, but end of the day these are still humans with fears, they’re much happier being in Africa just protecting an area rather than having to take over swaths of land under gunfire and bomb blasts. Unless these soldiers in Niger are literally just Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs or something, they have no reason to start shit and risk their lives for no reason.

Guess his fans are less radical than him

That’s also his fault. If you aren’t fully committed and have a lot of slack in your beliefs to avoid being called a tankie or whatever, then your audience will take that further.

Basic internet research informs me this “Hasan Piker” youtube culture wars hack is a millionaire who raised hundreds of thousands of USD for Ukraine NATO Nazis and collaborated with Democrats Nazi war party Blue team for electioneering. His most recent “fundraising” for the Earthquake victims in Syrian Arab Republic was sent to “CARE Syria” which is USAID NGO that is known collaborator with “Free Syrian Army” US proxy terrorists.

And we are surprised that his online communities are this way? When will Americans left stop swooning over these first world celebrity “socialist” parasites?
