Was this supposed to be ironic and isn't sticking the landing?

Edit: Looking at past comments, I don't think it was meant as a joke.

It’s not a joke.

I’m an anarchist. States are oppression, only authie simps defend their existence.

Okay, I used to be an anarchist so I can theoretically understand where you may be coming from and I would be open to a discussion about it.

But I'm inclined not to believe you're actually an anarchist that is opposing this from an anti-statist position out of good faith. Do you understand what BRICS even is? They are not the formation of new states, just a different economic organization of states mostly from the currently oppressed Global South to oppose the current imperialistic, hegemonic order. I'm guessing you are probably White and don't think there are degrees of oppression? You would oppose Cuba as authoritarian oppression just as much as you would the US? How would you recommend people from the Global South get out from under the current economic oppression imposed by the US? Do you think if they all just ended their States that the West would simply let them exist in peace or would they amplify their exploitation?

Nobody from .ml or hex is in good faith, so I’m not open to having a discussion with you about it.

Now go run off and defend Chinese genocide and imperialism or whatever else it is you scum do.

Well, then, that makes it easy for everyone involved, doesn't it?

I think you're a full of shit fascist and using anarchism as a cover.

Edit to respond to your edit:

YOU are literally the one supporting imperialism right now. Jesus fucking Christ, you're an idiot.
