the handshake meme, on one side liberals talking about Ukraine. on the other, conservatives talking about a mass shooter. the handshake “that swastika tattoo doesn’t necessarily mean he was a Nazi”

    I don’t disagree with you, it’s just that enthusiastic liberals love to gloss over issues like relatively widespread corruption and fascist elements in Ukraine. Also Ukraine doesn’t have a white west in terms of war crimes either (Amnesty International reported on that IIRC).
    What I mean to say is: uncritical, blind support is a big blunder IMO

    Most imperialist adventures were justified by claiming that the invaded nation was somehow bad enough to deserve it and it has always been bullshit.

    Exactly, it’s basically what I said in my other comment.
