Adding to the 2nd panel: “It’s important to understand both sides and remain skeptical in the face of–” Shut the fuck up.
Libs have the superpower of selective skepticism, where they forego “critical thinking” in discussions of issues that benefit the interest of the West and somehow restore said “critical thinking” and talk big about “nuance” when it’s about e.g. slaughtering resisting brown people.
“We’ve investigated ourselves and found no instances of wrongdoing”
And this vibes-based analysis is based on what exactly?
The memory of this event has been holed. What’s that? Who’s this “Ukraine” you speak of?
Oooh ooh I know this one!
(HURR DURR)
And the point remains that libs like you like to say stupid shit and downplay the severity of an allowed “minority” group (which by the way, is more than just one group) that committed the bulk of war crimes in the past 3 or so years before and during the invasion, all while enjoying continued state-wide support as they continue to appear as this “minority” moniker, since Western media refuses to shed light into what they’ve done and what they continue to do: https://www.globalresearch.ca/one-less-traitor-zelensky-oversees-campaign-assassination-kidnapping-torture-political-opposition/5777966
Where hamas has a ~44% approval rating
Is Hamas the “worst of Palestine”? That there is according to an old article run by the Empire Press, which states 44% of Palestinians in the West Bank, not 44% of Palestinians. The article also omits the fact that Hamas was the overall favored party, of those who participated in the polls at the time. The source that they’re referring to, published in Dec 2nd of 2023, (which they also conveniently omit and one which you are oblivious to) is this, which mentions the following:
In the West Bank, support for Hamas today stands at 44% (compared to 12% three months ago), and for Fatah at 16% (compared to 26% three months ago). In the Gaza Strip, support for Hamas today stands at 42% (compared to 38% three months ago)
When asked which political party or political trend they support, the largest percentage selected Hamas (43%), followed by Fatah (17%), while 12% selected other or third-party groups, and 28% said none of them or did not know.
Vote for Hamas in the Gaza Strip stands today at 52% (compared to 44% three months ago) and for Fateh at 21% (compared to 32% three months ago). In the West Bank, vote for Hamas stands at 50% (compared to 24% three months ago) and Fatah at 18% (compared to 40% three months ago).
It has decreased since then, as a result of undecided voters, no surprise there since there’s literally other things to prioritize than to participate in polls or elections during a fucking genocide…
This “intellectual oversight” is beyond disingenuous, disgusting and bad-faith: it’s just plain liberal.
Yeah, I only learned about it recently too… It’s pretty ironic considering that the whole “No taxation without representation” colonial shtick continues to be worshiped by the bootlickers of the empire.

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident living or traveling outside the United States, you generally are required to file income tax returns, estate tax returns, and gift tax returns and pay estimated tax in the same way as those residing in the United States.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. You are subject to tax on worldwide income from all sources and must report all taxable income and pay taxes according to the Internal Revenue Code.
The question is asked probably because there’s no real way of avoiding the empire’s grip if you’re born into it, even if you naturalize as a citizen of another country.
Not sure why it’s difficult to understand: saying “they’re just in the minority” diminishes the actual reality and effects of their allowed existence in the first place, minority or otherwise. So protected they are, that they receive state-funding to be kept alive. Otherwise, what’s the point of your comment?
Glad I could clear the confusion though, lib.
I don’t see how my comment could be interpreted as claiming “majority”. The point is, you’re downplaying the rampant Nazi problem and its effects within Ukraine, which is ingrained in many aspects (see the sources) and practically institutionalized. the fact that you want to contest this speaks volume to your character.
Are you saying I am doing that here?
To be precise, mostly the latter of my comment applies, yes.
Do you think the majority of ukraine are nazi’s?
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what I think, see the linked posts for details, feel free to challenge any of the sources while providing your own.
brainpower is when putler, soypower is when western media literally admitting that russian trolls barely exist
get it right smh…
The ultimate lib move: exaggerating the villainy of their political opponents (or just straight up lying) and downplaying anything that’s inconvenient to their “chivalrous” and “noble” narrative, namely their naked imperialism:

Chinese students are “illegally gaining access to critical research and advanced technology”…by reading textbooks and carrying out research tasks in a lab that any student would anyways in any of the listed universities… Oh the horror!
fr… “bUy EuRopEaN” they say…
wait till they find out where most of the money that is handed over to their favorite European name brand go to… Oh wait, when they do bother to find out (unlikely), the best reaction they can muster is in the loose form of “Oh no! Anyway…”
and blaming communism, despite the fact that there’s no communism to be found in Europe
When the only thing you’re exposed to is psychotic hairless ape behavior (Western imperialism), then the only sensible response to that is blistering violence. Otherwise, nukes and many other forms of deterrence wouldn’t be necessary at all. To suggest that humans are incapable of understanding beyond violence, knowing that most forms of violence were carried out by the West throughout history, is incredibly ignorant.

edit: forgot to highlight Dutch East Indies colony. Big L on my part.
On discussions around here about recommendations to alternative social media platforms and other digital services, there seems to be a growing presence of believers of European platforms, the platforms are vouched for not on the merit that the alternatives to US services themselves are good, functional and are independent of any state/private sector interests, but simply because the platforms are European, which is framed as “secure” and “sanitized” from any of that potential “bad stuff” we’ve witnessed (AI slop, helping the state to suppress activism, on one hand allowing freeze peach, which really just emboldens neonazis, on the other censors anything going against the interests of the West, etc).

I’m having difficulty to articulate this but… why move from one doghouse to another if all you cared about was the color of the roof?
