    People who are defending a regime that is using force on its own people are always bad, no matter who coined the term.

      its own people

      Westerners always through in this arbitrary qualifier because they want their governments to keep using brutal force against foreigners so long as they don’t do it domestically.

        Equating police with literal tanks… Alright

        Guess I should have specified excessive force. Tbf, police also has a problem with that, but that’s a different story.

          Ah so you’re fine with armored police vehicles as long as they’re not called tanks… alright

            What part of that did you not understand?

          You were the one who said “force”, asshole, you didn’t say anything about tanks specifically, or why the specific type of vehicle used would matter.

          Guess I should have specified excessive force

          Good news! Nobody ever considers the force used by the governments they support to be excessive.
