The difference is that I'm not injecting my opinions on capitalism, imperialism, communism, or any other -ism, because people are actually dying. Fighting and dying, as we sit here at our keyboards spouting opinions.
If you'd like to start a thread about imperialism I'll be happy to contribute, as I do have opinions about that topic. I just don't think that, as much as it may have influenced the lead-up to this shitshow, that it is the real story here.
People are fighting, dying, and being murdered. I think we all understand that power-politics is underneath it all, and I think we all agree the common folk dying over power-politics is a shit-sandwich for anyone involved. I think that in this story, the people involved are just as important if not more so. 4 million refugees. What should we be doing about that? Further Russian aggression -- what should we be doing about that? That's what I think matters right now.
Whether unipolarism, bipolarism, or multipolarism is a better global system is not, I think, useful to the discussion about the war at hand, and how to contain it so that it doesn't expand.
But that's just me and my lil ole opinion
