I’m starting to notice the half of Lemmy not federating with Hexbear is even more reactionary on average than I thought.
Say it with me now:
You can’t invade your own country
The “learn history!” In a completely ahistorical post is one of my favorite genres of posts
Imagine if, during the American civil war, Britain came in just as the south was about to loose, and then burned down every single structure in the north and killed 20+% of the population. Then went on to tell everyone how the North were actually the bad guys.
genocide is when there’s camps
Uyghurs? well, there’s camps, so it’s genocide
dropping over half a million tons of bombs, deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure until you’ve basically razed the entire country to the ground and bomber pilots end up just dropping their payloads on random fields since there literally isn’t anything left to bomb? no camps, so it’s all fine, just a bit of collateral damage
It makes a lot more sense if you just replace “whataboutism” with “pointing out hypocrisy”
By any normal person it is. By the people who are propagandised on “north korea” it’s fine because they’re the enemy and barely considered human.
The U.S. air force also ran out of targets to bomb or napalm after dropping more ordnance than the entirety of WW2.
never ask what was going on in the south when the north crossed the 38th parrallel
