Can’t tell if you’re talking about the Russians or the Ukrainians.
My argument isn’t so much that Ukraine is good…it’s that Russia is worse.
Worse for whom?
For the world. Giant repressive capitalist dictatorships that are full of fascists and invade other countries aren’t good for anybody…even if some of the people they’re killing are also fascists.
If by the world you mean the imperial core, then yes.
You mean the United States?
I don’t think you understand fascism. Previously:
Your position is Russian isn’t imperial or fascist?
…or is it that because the USA or your so-called “imperial core” is more fascist and/or imperial that we should ignore Russia’s?
Yes. Previously:

The term is hardly mine and hardly new. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Imperial_core
It is, though that doesn’t mean we should altogether ignore Russia’s faults; it too is a capitalist state, a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Russia isn’t anti-imperialist by ideology but by circumstance.
It sounds a lot like you agree the conflict isn’t about good vs evil.
Sure, “good vs evil” is the stuff of superhero movies and corporate media.
