libs and Ukraine neo nazis when someone on bluesky seeks clarity on GP foreign policy position

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 1d

The libs are searching bluesky for mentions and reference to Ukraine and Russia and then wanting you to defend yourself from this guy.

After that they then have the temerity to tell you to go home when it is they who came to you.
Come back when you have a better understanding little bro
Muted 🤗

Astonishing! Another SMILING REZNOR has manifested this day! Repost to spread his serene delight!

Two absolutely genuine stellar leaders with no trace of American meddling whatsoever. 👍👍

The strawman grows ever larger and larger soon it will be able to supplement the Wickerman.

I fear you are simply an apologist for Russian mass rape, murder, and torture in Ukraine.

You made a statement, I pointed out the historical facts which prove it to be false, and now your continued attempts to double down on your false statement proves it to be a lie.

Why do you lie for genocide?

I fear that I’m being lectured by a yank about big nasty countries bullying others into subjugation.
This whole thread is getting severely off topic. I am merely asking what the Green Party’s stance is towards Azov and more generally what is their policy towards working with govts w/ far right links

Cali-Lib (doc/hey you) @cali-lib.bsky.social · 1d

The whole conflict is an effort by Russia to subjugate a peaceful sovereign neighboring state in order to economically control its people and resources.

That is known as "Imperialism", Kiddo.

Why are you shilling for Imperialism?

American fingerprints can be found on this conflict, as with most modern conflicts around the world in 2025. It is not as black and white as we would be led to believe

Whilst I am hesitant to litigate the whole conflict in a thread, let’s just say I am deeply skeptical of the official narrative presented here in the west regarding origins of the conflict. Russia is to blame yes, but the blame and instigating of the conflict cannot be laid solely at their door.

As they are positioning themselves a place for lefties/socialists to congregate & organise, but if they are still pro-NATO and paying homage to Washington and its interests, then they don’t really offer a break from the past and cannot claim to be a radical force for the future.

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 2d

The whole conflict has been a miscalculation by the west, thinking they could use Ukraine as a proxy to destabilise Russia, whilst the inverse has happened. European countries are weaker as a result, and further under the thumb of US rule. For these reasons I’m v curious to know where the GP stands

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 2d

Whilst there are clearly millions of innocent people caught in a dreadful deadly conflict, I do not solely attribute blame to Russia. I think what we’re seeing is the result of endless NATO expansion and hubris. Decisions were made (mostly in Washington) without thinking about the consequences

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 2d

I think the portrayal of the conflict is clearly skewed towards a western audience, and framed in a simplistic way as good vs evil. Often what is missing is the complicated history and promises made by west/NATO to both Ukraine and Russia post-USSR collapse.

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 2d

Lol yeah I think they are just going through Bluesky searching for any mention of Azov. I get the sneaky suspicion they may be one of the types who like to sieg heil in their spare time *cough cough wink wink*.

I’ll mute them as I don’t think they’re engaging in any good faith whatsoever

Sorry I’m not following your rationale here about Nazis and America...

I am asking the question specifically about the Green Party because they have had a huge influx of new members, and many will not be familiar with their foreign policy stance RE: NATO, Ukraine and Azov.

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 2d

I am against fascism, am I not allowed to ask about Azov? I am asking in good faith, I am curious as to how the GP navigates a moral and ethical maze. We should embrace the complexity of these issues instead of trying to shut them down.

Yes I agree, I think the taking enjoyment from someone’s struggles is harsh, but I also understand why people feel a sense of relief or schadenfreude, particular after how Ange related to the fanbase for 12+ months. I was a big Ange backer but when he lied about the ear cupping I lost all respect

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 2d

Can anyone who is more informed than I on these matters confirm the GP position on Azov and more broadly the policy on associating with governments that have far right links or govts comprised of far right figures/politicians?
When it is said “stand with Ukraine” what does that mean in reality?

Natalie Bennett @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social · 2d

Millions of Ukrainians have lost their homes — 4.6 million displaced within the country, 6.9 million forced abroad.

The struggle to rebuild lives and communities will last long after the war ends.

Seeing him fail at Forest puts that debate to bed about whether we should have kept him for a third season or not

Overseas Badactor @overseasbadactor.bsky.social · 2d

Because he was a bit of a gaslighter/liar perhaps. We can be appreciative of the achievement whilst also recognising his many flaws as a person.

I get the impression people feel a sense of relief for seeing that he’s doing bad because there was uncertainty about sacking him or not

“ The people of Israel have a right to live in peace and freedom, secure in their… property, but will never enjoy that security until the people of Palestine enjoy exactly the same rights.”

Isreal is founded on terrorism and the author says they must have rights guaranteed- direct contradiction

Due to living outside the country it’s sometimes difficult to get a read of how things are developing, as well as understanding how much animosity and rivalry there actually is between the two camps. I am too terminally online to be able to get an accurate reading of the situation
