People who condemn Russia for invading Ukraine are hypocrites (lemmy.ml)

...unless they also condemn the USA for invading Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.

Most European territories serve the USA's geopolitical goals. Sanctions against Russia right now are part of that. There's nothing moral about it. It's simply a service to the USA for being in its sphere of influence. There is nothing, not a single shred of integrity in that.

If you find a territory which sanctions Russia for its crime, and also the USA for its crimes, you can recognise it as a real principled act.

The node-ipc incident going on clearly tells us West does not exactly value morals. They, like fascists, view morals as an artificial construct, and do whatever they want because others are mostly weaker. You need a teacher or headmaster to reprimand and control the big bully in the school.

node-ipc incident

This one? https://hackingvision.com/2022/03/18/node-ipc-sabotaged-to-condemn-russias-invasion-of-ukraine/

I'd say two things

  1. Not just the west. The world, and every society in it, is dominated by power players, who don't care about anything but their own power.
  2. node-ipc wasn't orchastrated by 'the west'. Some criminals made some malicious software for political reasons. That doesn't reflect on all of the west.

The criminals who did what they did with node-ipc was not a result of independent thinking, but brainwashing by Western society, news and media. They see the vile sentiment around them, and choose to discard morality and/or humanity.

I hope you apply this same logic to Russia then too, or any other power block, for consistency's sake.

I will apply the same logic when the world has a hegemonic balance, and when Russia has done atleast a comparable number of atrocities as US/UK and other Western imperialist powers. Same logic needs similar or equal conditions, right?
