They're comrades afterall 🤩

They forgot they weren't fighting poor civilians or guerilla fighters, but an experienced fighting force with a little bit of firepower on their end too.

Didn't a group of redditors also unknowingly get their unit hit by rockets after posting a video for upvotes lol

The amount of rightwing nutjobs immediately blaming muslims or immigrants after the mass killing on Saturday was sickening. At the same time seeing some liberals blaming those racists on Russian/Chinese troll farms was equally eye opening.

The libs are smugly regurgitating "consequences" "fuck around and find out" while these people are being bombed

They seem to be about the same level. NZ recently elected a right wing party too lol

They're arguing against giving the first nations peoples any voice at all atm. The "colonisation was good for you savages, now you can enjoy modern technology" is said aloud by these types.

As for refugees, many are thrown into offshore 'detention centres' and suffer abuse.

With the current rhetoric in some of the more open circles, if there are more camps set up in the future, it will be minorities who will be sent there for being the enemies of their papa USA.

They do... for about five minutes before they're switched back on to "this is all bad, but what can we do about it?". As long as they have their state department designated enemies to rally against, they'll blindly follow along since "we have it bad, but those ones are even worse!!".

"China's curing cancer faster and cheaper than anywhere else. But some worry they may be going too fast." - Bloomberg

NYT might as well have put out "Unlike the civilised world, dystopian China's women aren't selling their bodies as commodities just to survive, and are forced into positions where they can earn a decent living and even own a house"

Redditor invasion of Lemmy, 2023 lol

I remember reading from 5 star reddit armchair generals that their militaries weren't intended to be fighting guerilla warfare, which is why their oh-so-humanitarian-totally-never-target-civilians militaries struggled so much against guerilla fighters in their wars against Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. They instead said that they were designed to obliterate traditional militaries in uniform such as those of their current state department designated enemies.

For all the "Russia's a bunch of poor commies still using USSR era equipment", sounds like NATO and its proxies had a wakeup call when this time they're on the receiving end where they didn't have superiority in firepower, on the ground and the air.

Or the US want to use that data to create bioweapons to target specific peoples, sounds about right since they absorbed not only nazi scientists but also members of the infamous unit 731 post ww2
