The only wrong part of this meme is the implication that burgers would even try to not blame foreign meddling.

Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England.

They were pissy that the king made it illegal to expand westward and exterminate all of the indigenous people. They were all "no, actually, the British Empire isn't evil enough. Let's make an even bigger and eviller empire than the [at the time] most evil empire on Earth."

This is a human problem, not a national one.

It is a national and class problem, not a human one. Human nature is a bs concept invented to sell the status quo.

The US couped Ukraine's government, installed a puppet regime, continuously built up a military presence right next to Russia's least defensible point (going so far as to have massive wargames in Ukraine), and violated all of the agreements that were meant to deescalate the situation. The alliance in question has only ever been used to invade and demolish countries that dare not kiss the burger reich's ring despite that alliance ostensibly being for defense against foreign aggression.

TIL defending yourself from the evil empire (Amerikkka) is bad.

Based if true! Death to Amerikkka!

You're right. Someone being a pedo doesn't make them wrong, and I shill for Putin all the time. Better to shill for the truth (Russia) than to shill for lies (Amerikkka, Ukkkraine, etc.).

People will link to wikipedia listing off banger after banger about how based MintPress is, then try to paint all of the basedness as cringe.

While lemmy.ml isn't explicitly tankie like lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.chat, the fact that it's the instance run by the two OG Lemmy devs (who, along with most of the instance's admins, are Marxist Leninists) means you tend to get tankie friendly moderation. Most infamously, sinophobia is cracked down on, so shitlibs can't just go hog wild with stuff like Tinyman Square and "West Taiwan" and such.

So what's gonna happen when a finger on the monkey's paw curls for this?

Stop blaming the world and make it yours.
