Wars and proxy wars since 1776.

EDIT: The post is not an endorsement of the USSR. You can now stop fighting for your “team” and start defending the anti-war values you claim to uphold.

      The military industrial complex is pretty well known at this point. I suspect they agree with the message, but don’t like that it’s coming from someone further left than Democrats.

        You can go further left than the Democrats without pandering for another warmongering, imperialist nation.

          I don’t recall doing the latter. Either there’s an implication to the post that I’m not picking up on or you’re strawmanning me.

            I sincerely hope this is some extremely high level “I can only perceive things in their most literal sense” genuine (non-durogatory) autism going on here. The other option is far less kind.

              So instead of giving a straight answer, you would rather shift the burden to the person asking you what the fuck you’re talking about.

              I can only assume you’re equating the hammer and sickle with the USSR rather than with communism more generally. The anarchism symbol underneath should clue you in to the fact that the post is not an endorsement of any particular regime. Ironically, you’re the one perceiving things in their most literal sense.

                My brother in Christ, it is their flag. You didn’t use random hammer and sickle iconography. It’s the flag of the USSR.

                I suspect you know exactly what you are doing.

                  Do you expect someone to make a flag that perfectly describes their personal philosophy for a shitpost on lemmy. To me it states that they hold some “extreme” (whatever that means anymore) leftist values and nothing more.
