I agree with everything you said. My comment was strictly about posting such an article without any discussion, any comment, just a link to it. If feels like posting “shit reactionaries say” outside its proper space. But to be clear, since my short comment was certainly unclear, my problem was not with discussing such article, just with posting them without any commentary whatsoever.
My view is that we are in an explicitly Marxist space here, so we should be able to share these kinds of articles with understanding that people will read them critically. The article is a great illustration of the power dynamics between the empire and the vassals, and I don’t really see anything you could really add to the title there to make it better. Like I said in another comment, if people see news from imperialist sources and they’re not clear on what the materialist take on the news is, that’s a perfect opportunity to start a discussion.
I’ll have that in mind going forward, thank you :) Though I still think it might be a good idea to write a couple sentences in the comments, just like you did here. “The article is a great illustration of the power dynamics between the empire and the vassals” would’ve been perfect. But of course I’m in no place at all to demand such a thing, please don’t take it that way.
I’m also still adapting to this space and I understand things work differently here, which is something I do appreciate.
