Remember that literally everyone considered the ETIM a terrorist organization right up until Zenz fabricated his bunk genocide claims, and then very suddenly the US and a few key allies dropped that label from them.

Redditors are some of the most gullible fucks on the planet

What a fucking demonic thing to say.

Even if, even if it was a Hamas misfire, 500 innocent lives were taken, and this fucking demon is making a joke about it

500 lives have been snuffed out. Untold thousands will never be the same because they're gone. And this monster can't help but laugh, because those lives were brown, and brown lives don't count.

Actual demonic behaviour

If I wrote a story about a nation of people so concerned with genetic purity and the future of their nation that they harvested the literal cum out of dead soldiers in order to artificially inseminate people down the line, any editor would laugh in my face and tell me it was absurd and needlessly fascistic sadness-abysmal

How do all these nazis keep ending up in my "no tankie" spaces??

It's super visible in the YouTube comments on Vice's video about the rise of neo-Nazis in Ukraine prior to the war. Any pre-war comments are basically "wow this is concerning, hope Ukraine finds a way to stop this", post-war comments are "wow vice is Putler propaganda now"

In the 50s and 60s, the easiest way to gain entry into Canada for immigration was to show a Nazi tattoo. This proved one was ideologically anti-communist and thus safe.

Somehow we've managed to find the first human being to function without a single neuron firing.

A brain exists, but nothing is occuring within. No electrical signals, no neural activity.

And yet they manage to post anyway

My favourite bit about the video is that the tank column is leaving Tiananmen when this guy stops them, and I always get the impression he's essentially asking the tankers to go back to the Square.

Naturally the lib framing is that he's blocking them from entering the Square

What if an issue is genuinely complicated and cannot be resolved by a three word statement of position? Can there be no discussion around that?

That's fine if it's an issue that is worthy of debate.

We're talking here specifically about the rights and survival of human beings, and in that kind of case, no. There is no room for debate. There is no complexity. You either support people's right to live, or you don't. There fundamentally cannot be a grey area here; any response that includes the words "yes, but" automatically cedes ground to fascists.

Russia would profil their fantasies of removing Ukrainian culture and erasing their nation from history?

When you invent reality, you can argue for anything and have it be incontestable.

Every lib I know says this is a genocidal war (despite no proof of any intent to genocide, they just think Putin wants to massacre every Ukrainian ever) and that, responding to that report about crackdowns on draft dodgers, anyone who tries to avoid conscription is a traitor and should be treated as such.

Absolutely deranged the takes one can dig up when one is not threatened in any way.
