I've never understood this particular western leftist perspective, where they act like US unipoliarity is somehow a good thing for global socialism, despite the last 30 years being the worst time for socialism globally in a century.

It's strange, its almost like they defend US and western hegemony for an entirely different reason. 🤔

It's fascinating how the west will claim that the DPRK worships this guy and his every action and bowel movement is mentioned on the evening news over there, but like, the only place actually obsessing over what his personal habits are is the west.

Oh shucks, you're right, I guess we'd better just try doing nothing at all instead and hope that works. Or we could "vote" away climate change. Sure, our governments keep ignoring the public in favour of big oil companies, but maybe if we just vote harder they might finally listen to us.

They use this argument to dismiss anything you say without thinking about it.

I'm quite poor, so I get the other end of this "You're just a communist because you want to leech off of other's hard work."

They're just empty thought-terminating cliches, it doesn't matter who you are, if you're a communist, people will say stupid shit to you in order to dismiss communism without ever thinking about it.

It really is treated as a "sin" to be ignorant of something in the west. Personally, I love not knowing something, because it means I get to learn something, but again, education in the west is treated as "that thing that happens when you're 6-18 and no other time." and refuse to ever try to educate themselves as adults.

They love doing this shit, it's an incredibly easy way to just dismiss what people say without ever listening to them.

If these people actually listened to what we say on these, they would realise we don't "deny" genocides, we put a historical event into full context. And with the full context, it turns out it wasn't meanie head baddie Stalin and Mao murdering people for no reason, but a complex web of actions done by multiple people, and a lot of mistakes and errors.

Then again, these are the same people who will say "never again" to the holocaust right before empowering nazis in their country so they can stop the "redfash tankies." The same people who go on about the "We-gear genocide" are also the same sort of people who salivate at the idea of putting all Asian people in concentration camps.

Considering the toxicity of the occasional lost lib here, it's probably like a goddam buffet for fascists over though. So many libs to "inform" about evil tankies and minorities.

It's no surprise really, as it was the big "leaving reddit" website, it would make sense that nazis would flock there too, as these communities get established, their tone and what is and isn't acceptable is set. So if nazis get in on the ground floor, they can make their "just asking questions" and other bullshit just normal behaviour there. They couldn't have asked for a better opportunity.

Not just websites, we'll even recommend books for you to read! Truly, we are the greatest evil.

"Our economy is in the shitter due to our terrible mismanagement. What should we do about this?"

"How about we piss off China, one of our largest trading partners?"

"Nigel Bitterswax Chudley the fourth esquire, that is a truly brilliant idea!"

This just in: Everyone in Russia is actually Putin in various cunning disguises.

Make no mistake, this is to normalise comfort women, to make it seem like women want to be in this position. She's a loud and proud "volunteer" so they can dismiss the voices of those forced into this. This is probably damage control for some impending sexual abuse in Ukraine's military. Muddying the waters before it actually comes to light.

Funny how these "Hate the government, not the people" folks always seem to love hating the people. Almost like being "anti-authoritarian regime" is just an excuse to hate on Asian people or something.

If your understanding of this conflict is so braindead that you think "Putin is exactly like Hitler" and "Selling more weapons that will leave the land uninhabitable for decades is the key to peace" then you're beyond help. I cannot overstate how stupid and ignorant you come across saying things like this. You are not immune to propaganda, even if you are about to assert that everyone who disagrees with you is "brainwashed" or a "Russian shill" as a way to protect your own ego.

You should leave, this isn't the place for you. The only two options are that you either get banned or you learn something new and challenge your preconceived notions. And I know how much liberals hate the latter, so just save yourself the trouble.

"Hundreds, perhaps thousands, hell, maybe even millions! There's no way to know for sure, so just use your imagination to imagine the worst thing you can, then pretend that happened there. That's how evil China is."

Give me my cheque CBS.

"Communism bad because no oranges and bananas!"

It has limits though, there was a post recently where the libs hit critical mass and were replying to each other to "ignore the tankies"

once they can establish an echo chamber, any education or "dunking on" is useless as they'll back each other up. Just look at worldnews, it's a cesspit right now. 100% pure lib.

Liberalism works because it is an ideology devoted to "good things" and opposed to "bad things."

But this is empty, meaningless. Every political philosophy is organised in such a way. The actual meat and potatoes of liberalism do not actually reflect the box it comes in.

I think Terror alarm is AI generated. If it is, the scary part is how it sounds exactly like every other fearmonger news outlet. As much as western journos suck, they are at least limited in the amount of nonsense they can spout. We could see hundreds of AI generated "news" pages producing insane amounts of garbage 24/7 in the near future.
