    I will never forget that piece of shit Matthew Miller shedding a tear for the poor children of Ukraine during the Russian Invasion and then shrugging and effectively saying " its war stuff happens" when confronted with the horrific massacre of children in Gaza by the Zionist regime.

    The Empire is bipartisan.

        Honestly a bit of bait is good. I have enjoyed reading the discussions that emerged in some of those threads. I see this post for what it is: bait. You could make less provocative posts but even then some people just want to read it as tankie propaganda.

        Maybe we should create a community called “tankie memes” for when you do want to go all out and trigger people

    Fuck you for trash talking Ukraine and Palestine. It’s shitty to use the mass suffering of millions for internet points.

    Also, elite rage bait, I’ve got the grimble grumbles now.

      Wait how is he trash talking Palestine? This meme is criticizing how military actions of the Palestinian resistance are portrayed in the media. It’s clearly a pro-palestinian meme.

      I don’t think the sufferings of either Ukrainians or Palestinians are related to this meme.

      It’s about the media, and I am furious when Ukraine and Israel wrongdoings are justified

          Russia doesn’t bomb civilians unlike ukraine.
          And it saved a lot of innocent civilian victims from being ethnic cleansed.
          As they had been trying to do since the 2014 coup.
          But again the same double standards, the west didn’t really care about what their proxy nazi’s did to them.

              These things happen in war unfortunately.
              When there are attacks with 500+ of drones and many missiles per day with only a handful of civilian casualties it’s pretty clear that they are not ‘targeting civilians and wanting to make as many casualties as possible’ as the western propaganda claim.
              Unlike ukrainians that deliberately target civilian infrastructure, from schools to hospitals.

                I don’t think the main target is civilians, I think they have better targets (strategically speaking), you are right in this

                The comment @TDSOJohn@lemmy.world was replying was about “doing them a favor”. I don’t think any sane Ukrainian would say “thanks” for what Russia is doing.

                Unlike ukrainians that deliberately target civilian infrastructure, from schools to hospitals.

                It’s a bit of a stretch. Both sides did similar things.

          I’m sure the relatives of the 14,000 people killed by Ukranian nazis before Russia entered the war would love to hear your justifications for it.

              I’ve been under the impression it’s sort of a “tankie” place that glorifies enemies of the USA indiscriminately. So saying bad things about Putin will get you downvoted

                  Here you get FACTS, not simply western propaganda.
                  You’re welcome to go to some right-wing circle jerk (which is most of .world) and stay in your bubble if you can’t handle that.
                  Most of the rabid McCarthyists get angry immediately when they invariably lose the discussion against knowledgeable people and resort to vulgar insults.
                  On par with their beliefs.

    In my opinion, war is always full of crime. You can have crime without war, but you can’t have war without crime. If by “war crime” you mean Geneva convention, nobody follows that, either.

    The winner prosecutes the loser, no exceptions.

    Every time I see such memes, I remind myself that lemmy.ml is blocked in:

    • China (including Hong Kong)

    • Iran

    • North Korea

    It is currently unblocked in:

    • The United States

    • Israel (and Palestine)

    • Ukraine

    • EU

    • Pretty much the rest of the world

    • Russia

    Though I worry about Russia, as they’ve already blocked Bluesky and at least one part of the fediverse: https://lemmy.world/post/14156170

    (And FYI I checked these regions myself, with a VPN, and then when another external tool, just now).
