It’s good to be Anti-NATO, NATO has Nazi origins and serves as a way to maintain Western Hegemony, securing profits via Imperialism and defending said Imperialism through coalition.
anti globalist, economically it’s just universally bad
Right… NAFTA was universally beloved and was never taken advantage of by unsavory political characters. I’m sure you have some very unkind words for Biden after he continued and expanded Trump’s trade war.[/s]
I do not think this is a strong argument. Nobody considers NASA to be the “space Nazis” either, just because some employees had connections with Nazi Germany. It’s a huge leap to claim NATO follows or is connected to some Nazi ideology based on this.
George Washington U’s National Security Archive 2017: NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev HeardU.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.
Nato is as much a “mutual defense” pact as sea lions are lions. These guys bombed Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq and countless other nations. The members of Nato have repeatedly cooperated with each other, using the military networks built through the alliance to wage proxy wars, perform coups, destabilise regions of the world at a scale never before seen in human history.
You might as well call the axis a mutual defense alliance lmao.
It’s an alliance between Imperialist countries, and the alliance itself has Nazi origins and has had Nazi leaders. Yes, it’s a bad thing, because Imperialism is a bad thing.
It’s a gang of countries that hyper-exploit the Global South in mutual defense against said Global South.
It’s literally only function is a deterrent to war, including by members against others as they will not gain NATO support unless they are attacked.
It’s expansionist against the wishes of outside countries, and NATO exerts military pressure on the Global South.
Its members might exploit, but thats a meaningless statement about NATO itself because without NATO there would literally be more war.
Bzzzzt wrong. NATO’s only function is to preserve Western Hegemony and dominate the Global South militarily, so that member-States can continue exploiting ruthlessly unopposed. This results in proxy wars, such as the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.
It’s expansionist against the wishes of outside countries
this isn’t super accurate, joining nato has some pretty strict requirements, and besides yeeting NATO would be like the west completely nuking china and russia because “they did a human rights violation” it’s just a dogwhistle lmao.
I’ve got bad news for you: a lot of us are anti-NATO.
Also, what the hell is anti-trade? Do you want every Westphalian state to build a wall around itself?
Edit to add: Oh I see, you created this new account because @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today got permabanned from lemmy.ml 😂 Let’s see how long this one lasts…
Ah yes, free trade, the thing that improved the economies of ex-communist countries after the USSRs collapse and is on the path to fixing almost every African nations poverty.
Ah yes, NATO, the “we will only call for (and maybe possibly do something to enforce) human rights if it’s convenient for us” alliance. And I’m sure all it’s member nations have squeaky clean track records when it comes to international politics.
We must ban anyone against these things! That’s dangerous extremist ideology
Are you referring to the coalition of some NATO members and some non-NATO members (19 nations total) enforcing a United Nations Security Council decision to make an immediate ceasefire and end the civil war in Libya?
The one with zero troops on the ground?
Being in NATO had no impact on the events, NATO member support was not mandatory as per the terms of NATO. The only reason they even call it a NATO operarion was because Itally would only vote in favor of the operation if NATO members were in charge instead of France.
The reason for NATO’s involvement is quite irrelevant because they were still happy to step in and do the work. The fact is that it was ultimately NATO-led and their efforts did not lead to peace in the region.
To call NATO’s involvement in Libya ‘anti-war’ is sheer lunacy.
And those harmful ideologies are.?
White Supremacy, Anti-immigrant, Anti-Trade, Anti-NATO, Anti-human-rights for LGBT, etc.
You like warmongers NATO?
What does this mean?

Are you denying the connections between NATO leaders and the Third Reich?
I do not think this is a strong argument. Nobody considers NASA to be the “space Nazis” either, just because some employees had connections with Nazi Germany. It’s a huge leap to claim NATO follows or is connected to some Nazi ideology based on this.
brother every ethnic german in the world has ties with the third reich.
They were literal Nazi Party members. Read the article.
yeah and so was that one guy that spoke at the one thing in canada, the entirety of canada is now tied with nazis.
They were leaders of NATO, not speaking at a NATO event.
You’re working overtime to normalize Nazism.
Lmao
Mutual defense and deterrent to invasion by hostile world powers both in and outside of NATO is a bad thing? Sure, okay pal.
.
Also, don’t send us reports just because you don’t agree with someone. We’re not here to censor people for you.
Oh no! So you want to talk about how the mutual self defence pact is somehow oppressing you or will you just keep dodging forever?

What alt accounts? What are you even talking about? That’s two bullshit reports in one day, wasting our time.

Its not expansionist because you have to request to join.
The only objecting countries whose wishes you’re referring to are nations who want to invade potential NATO members.
Bzzzzt wrong. NATO is expansionist because it pressures non-member states and routinely starts proxy wars.
Bzzzzzt wrong. Western Hegemony damages the Global South and NATO keeps member-states unaccountable.

A “harmful ideology”? Is someone paying you to spout this propaganda?
NATO’s only function is mutual defense, NATO support ends when a member attacks.
Since the only thing NATO does is prevent War, the only anti-NATO stance is a pro-war stance.
The invasion of Libya was a NATO-led effort.
Stop lying.

Who do you think are supporting those?
Elon Musk, owner of Xitter
The fuck is that question?
In context of lemmy… Really quick to anger
Well I certainly could make comparisons but thats a little irrelevnt. The core of my statement is that Lemmy doesn’t operate the way Twitter does.
For me “the fuck is that question” is just a colloquial expression of confusion, not anger.
