Nah, it’s pretty much the right side for both.

What a brave new world of gender equality we now live in 🙏

You need different antidepressants. I’m on prozac, and it only makes me feel better.

Antidepressants

The very definition of Imperialism (which a lot of world users/admins engage in constantly) is being duped into pushing harder for World War III against Russia and China than you could ever muster to defend 50,000 innocent people being genocided using your tax money.

Apparently Ukrainian people being genocided don’t matter.

Remember, it’s “American provocation of WW3” when Russia commits genocide, but “To be opposed at all costs” when Israel commits genocide.

Yeah, thanks. I had more brutal pictures in mind, to represent the unjustifiable brutality that happened in Iraq, but that would be fucked up.

Even brutal pics are welcome, as long as anything with death, gore, or the like is marked NSFW.

History is often not pretty, especially when highlighting terrible crimes.

Didn’t question the assertion, I asked you to use a site that didn’t bootlick genocide, but I guess that was too much to ask.

Also not what moving goalposts means.

Pug

Interesting comparison, but could I ask that you edit to use a different source? That’s an extremely imperialist apologist site.

Again, you just made this up without evidence. This is untrue. Noah Kulwin explicitly stated Ukraine has every right to resist Putin’s illegal war. Supplying arms for Ukraine to defend itself has never been the issue.

“I don’t think America should bankroll [resistance to genocide] in perpetuity”

What, are you illiterate or something? Can you not read?

jk, I know this is all in bad faith, but thanks for proving it.

Again, that’s not what he said. He’s talking about the method the US uses for all of its foreign policy. When it comes to Ukraine, the US has fueled the conflict for its own ends. That’s a fact.

“Resistance to genocide is fueling the conflict!”

Yeah, no, genocide apologia isn’t allowed here, and neither are bad faith takes defending genocide.

Weird, it’s almost like there just anti-imperialist regardless of who’s doing it or in what form.

Until Ukraine, apparently. But sure, they managed to critique a conflict 50 years ago while running defense for an imperialist genocide happening today, totally proves they’re anti-imperialist. I bet you think supporters of the Iraq War who critique Vietnam are anti-imperialist Americans.

Most Black German troops were colonial forces - only a few men, like Josef Mambo, served in the Imperial German Army on the European fronts, but most were Schutztruppe in the African theatre of the war.

What exactly do you think there saying is apologia? You don’t show what Noah Kulwin is responding to, nor are his responses incorrect.

Ah yes, when performative leftists sudden become “fiscal conservatives” once the issue of resisting genocide comes up.

Well, the issue of resisting Russian or Chinese genocide, at least.

THEN the dollar value of lives becomes extremely important to campist cretins, for some reason.

Nor is Brendan James wrong about the American Method of the US State Department deflecting criticism about foreign policy.

“The US created/fueled/escalated the Ukrainian War!”

Fucking bootlicker.

Oh so you recognize they actually know what they’re talking about.

That’s a pretty bizarre extrapolation from me recognizing that they’re campist cretins.

What camp are they “campist cretins” to then?

Second-campist. Do you not know what ‘campist’ means?

It’s laughable you think tweets are evidence

Yes. How hilarious it is that I think their own words are evidence of their positions. Ha ha.

and not like, their articles since they are both critically acclaimed journalists.

So is Glenn fucking Greenwald, that doesn’t make him not a cretin.

The tweets don’t back up your claim either.

Oh, right, apologism for atrocities is only bad when it’s US atrocities.

We’re in a thread about the casualties of the Iraq War and you’re trying to discredit the two journalists that have created the most accurate and complete telling about the Iraq War that actually recognizes the humanity of the Iraqi civilians bombed, tortured, and starved to death in some of the most inhumane ways imaginable by the US. Like, wtf.

Have they considered not discrediting themselves by being genocide apologists for non-US atrocities, or is that too much ask?

I apologize, in the future, I’ll be sure to paper over and cover up genocide apologism if the apologist sometimes agrees with me.

Name a single thing about the Iraq War they got wrong.

Ah yes, wherein I said “They got the Iraq War wrong”.

Oh, no, wait, I noted they’re campist cretins, and you know this because we literally had this discussion before. Nice attempt at playing dumb, though.

I noticed it was the anniversary of the Iraq War (march 20) So i decided to post this in remembrance of all dead. I’m not sure to mark as NSFW or not, or if this post belongs. I will understand removal

No need for a NSFW tag, and it’s both important and historical, so it definitely belongs.

I’ll check blowback later,.thank you for the link.

Blowback is done by campist cretins, fair warning.

Can’t I just die in my sleep or something? Preferably soon?

It’s the chemicals in the water

I would say the fuck-up is much broader than that, tbf. Checks and balances have been borked for… quite some time now. The GOP ignored checks and balances because the Dems were too chickenshit to stop them (or, if one is feeling generous, because the crybully tactics of the GOP would have resulted in backlash against the Dems by the ‘independents’ who swing elections).

Snooggums is right that systems fail when they’re ignored - even the best-structured system must have a society which is cultivated to value and perpetuate it. If not, all the well-laid out rules in the world won’t save it.

Socialism is incompatible with democracy and freedom. That’s a fact proven over and over again throughout history.

Soviet systems are incompatible with democracy and freedom. “Socialism” is an extremely broad term.

What about your singing animal friends, and your singing LSD lab?
