They fucked up when they arrested a cute white woman on tv. Classic mistake

The moment this picture showed up online my girlfriend said the exact same thing. It took less than 48 hours for this to turn out to be proven true.

Really hoping the White House freaks out about this like Australia did ~3 years ago over the Afghanistan art

What is this picture from?

CW - war crimesTAIPEI, Taiwan — Australia summoned the Chinese ambassador on Monday and demanded an apology after a Chinese Foreign Ministry official tweeted a graphic, computer-generated illustration of a grinning Australian soldier holding a knife to the throat of an Afghan child, an image designed to criticize Australia's involvement in the war-torn country.

Aussie SAS committed a bunch of war crimes in Australia, look up David McBride for the run down

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 22 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah I know about McBride just not about the art thing

The Australian media freaked the fuck out about this picture doing the rounds on the internet but because they couldn't deny that the war crimes happened, the best argument they could muster was "well Akshully this isn't a real photo".

Like no shit, war crimes don't happen on huge flags of the countries involved.

Lol, the media calling it a "doctored image" was hilarious.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

Me a reporter for the media standing in the Louvre: "So as you can see, this picture of "Mona Lisa" is actually just a doctored painting of a real person, not ACTUALLY the real Mona Lisa who lived in the 16th century Italy and that wasnt even her real name!! More at 11 we're following this story as it develops."

Not only was this a criticism of the Australian war crimes committed, but a bunch of media outlets published articles "debunking" the artwork, stating, "No, an Australian soldier, in fact, did not slit the throat of a child on top of an Australian flag. It is an artistic fabrication by a Chinese artist"

The west is cooked. This isn't even lack of media literacy. It's not knowing the mirror is just a reflection and not a clone lol

There was a conservative push to get the preamble about immigrants removed from the statue of liberty.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago

There are some fucking banger comments on XHS, read one that was along the lines of

"Siding with Russia or Ukraine is a matter of where you get your information from.

Siding with Palestine or Israel is a matter of whether or not you're an actual human"

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 47 points 6 months ago

i'll hand it to the french, they gave us a statue that's way too dope for this shitty country
