Clearly the EU is an imperialist nazi state made up of multiple different independent nations generally not following fascism and being members on a purely voluntary basis. Did you not receive your shipment of tankie crack this week, comrade?
The fact that the EU is a voluntary coalition does not at all stand against the fact that many member states have been seeing fascist upswings, and that all depend on imperialism and neocolonialism to function.
The claims have changed so much it seems that you also disagree with the meme at this point.
If you felt the need to add all those qualifiers (not wrong, btw), then it's clear that you wouldn't describe the EU as an "imperialist nazi state" either.
And that's before we ask other things, eg why Ukraine and not Russia?
I would not communicate OP's broader point the same way, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I disagree with it. The EU is a coaliton of right-wing imperialist states, this is true. Russia isn't imperialist, while Ukraine is a tool of imperialism much like Israel.

Not really all right wing but perhaps compared to your politics. Or mine tbh
Russia isn't imperialist
I'm confused about this. I checked to see if I had the right definition, just in case, and this is wikipedia's:
imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power and soft power.
How does this not perfectly describe what Russia is doing in Ukraine?
Do you have an alternative definition you're working with?
Putin shills really getting desperate, astroturfing on lemmy cant be that effective, and holy shit this one is pathetic. Huge swing and a miss there gopnik

This is one of those examples of someone using words without understanding their actual meaning.

"Nazi state"
Looks inside
Contains 27 states, most of which are not nazi-run
Completely and utterly stupid.

Many of them have fascist movements either in power or coming to power, and all rely on imperialism and neocolonialism.

"Many of them"
"Either in power or coming to power"
"Rely on"

Isn't Ukraine a candidate for the EU? Such a low level bait...
