It’s a miracle - civilians that were hiding in a basement at the Drama Theater in Mariupol survived the air strike. Now they are getting evacuated from underneath the ruins.

My colleague ⁦ @belkiswille ⁩ spoke with #Mariupol deputy mayor 30min ago. He said thus far about 200 people had been rescued from the theater rubble unharmed and one woman injured. Ongoing attacks hamper rescue efforts and how many still there unknown.

are you lost friend?

:agony-immense: FOR LEFT FUCKING BIAS IT PUT'S JoeBiden.com ALONGSIDE FUCKING MARXISTS.ORG

That is some off the charts pure liberalism in that website right there

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/left-vs-right-bias-how-we-rate-the-bias-of-media-sources/

None of the stuff they listed as "left" is actually leftist. It's just basic social democratic policies many outright capitalist states have

It's also heavily biased towards the USA in terms of localisation of what is left and right.

It makes the classic mistake of liberal = left

:gulag:

No, I'm gonna mark you publicly for being a fuckin lib and sit back and enjoy watching you get bullied

Ok so

-The satellite images are already proven to be highly questionable and inconclusive, even the NYT admits the satellite alone can't prove how those people were killed.

-We know some of the civilians have white armbands which the Russians use to mark friendly collaborators. Why would they massacre them?

-I am hoping you are already aware the curious case of the mayor that didn't mention a massacre when he celebrated Russians leaving.

-As the twitter thread alone gives a dozen different points against the narrative:

Video of Ukraine shelling on Russia troops captured by drone.

Video of Ukraine troops asking if they can shoot civilians.

Video of civilian with tied hands and white armbands(Russian supporters)

What is more likely?

That Russia somehow committed a large irrational mass murder of civilians many of which were sympathizers despite very obvious military doctrine against this throughout the whole war?

That Burcha was under constant shelling for most of the month, the bodies are most likely from different events at different days and as Russia decides to retreat the Ukrainian army decides to try yet again to frame another mass murder scene while giving no explanation or signs of regret for their own nazis conducts including doing these same sort of executions.

We have a literal dozens of videos of people being lynched in public, we know Azov used human shields, they are torturing Russian POWs etc

NYT deliberately spreading fake news would be as far as I know unprecedented.

:shrug-outta-hecks:

You want to live in a world where some guy in front of a TV or some editor for a fancy three letter newspaper earning 6 figures is a trustworthy figure but thousands of people crowdsourcing real videos during a war is "fake news".

I can't imagine being you in 2002-2003 honestly but I guess everyone has to go through this stage I guess.

Exactly how many dead constitutes a massacre in your opinion?

In many western countries, especially the US, propaganda is so strong that it’s no longer perceived as propaganda anymore, but just becomes “facts”. This means that people are so confident in US State Department narrative they cannot even conceive of anything outside of it, the idea that people can think something else is not only something they haven’t considered, but they have a mental block preventing them from even considering it.

This is where the Russiagate and “wumao” stuff originates. They are so convinced of the US State Department narrative that they think anyone who disagrees can’t actually disagree, because it’s just “facts” that “everyone knows is true”. So if you do disagree, then you must be lying about your beliefs, you must be a paid actor of some kind.

This also gets into why they’re so ready to support US interventions and wars. They genuinely believe the US State Department narrative is universal, that it’s something everyone agrees with. So they think that people in foreign countries all agree with the US narrative too. If you have video of them saying they don’t? Well, “there must be a hidden sniper forcing them to say that!”

So, in their minds, all Chinese people agree with the US State Department narrative. They all hate the Chinese government and want to see it overthrown. They’re all secretly begging for their white saviors to come save them, but you just don’t see that happening because they are forced to pretend they don’t.

So these people feel like they’re being “heroes” by constantly spamming stuff in support of what they view as prisoners in a nation-sized prison begging to be released. They think that they are “good people” by constantly bringing it up, that it makes them virtuous and that it’s a form of activism to constantly mention it.

You have to remember that liberals are, well, liberal, they’re very individualistic. They’re convinced change is not brought about by collective action but through virtuous and heroic individuals. They thus have a tendency to strongly overestimate what their own actions are doing, and to actually view what they’re doing as real activism.

In their mind, by “speaking up for the Chinese”, they think they’re actually doing something good and virtuous that is making a difference. They like to imagine that maybe a Chinese person with a VPN sees all the heroic Americans saying “west Taiwan” and reddit and gets a smile on their face knowing the good redditors are fighting for his freedom.

That’s actually how they think. Legitimately.

Liberalism is when you denounce war crimes, and the more war crimes you denounce, the liberaler you are.

at this moment you feel civilised and of supiror interlect , a wolrd waiting for your lectures ..

a true lib on Hexbear ... what a sight to behold...
