It's wild how western war-mongers will point to restrictive domestic policy as a justification for (seemingly) unlimited violent aggression against them

Like, "look what you made me do! if you weren't so mean to your citizens I wouldn't have had to bomb them and destroy their homes and infrastructure!"

As if the US hasn't overlooked exactly those humanitarian offenses when they funded and armed religious extremists in order to install pro-western governments the world over. It's the kind of double-speak you read about in science fiction.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
