My fave part is the section of the bill that exempts it from FOIA requests...democracy...
R/Worldnews is the single most propogandized place on the entire internet.
While the rest of reddit was circulating the un report about how the people in the mass graves had their hands cuffed, the top post in worldnews was a press relief from the idf saying they didn't kill anybody.
The top comment was "well in the modern age this should be easy to prove" with half a dozen "removed" comments right under it.
Difference is, everyone in r/neoliberal are already full on ghouls without a shred of humanity. r/worldnews is on the front page of Reddit with millions of normies stumbling into it
That subreddit was literally started by a fossil fuel lobbying organisation wasn't it?

Yea but neolibleral almost revels in being the bad guys and leans into the stereotype of annoying douchebag (intentionally or not is another question)
Worldnews posters are trying to act morally superior and like the reasonable adults in the room while parroting propoganda that would make a toddler raise an eyebrow from being to heavy handed.
It is basically just r/CIAShitPosting, I mean there is no doubt it is fed run right? It is so inorganic
there's a pretty good wad of circumstantial evidence that u/maxwellhill is her, but admittedly nothing concrete
The tankies sure are coping and seething rn
We're definitely not laughing at the decline and collapse of the US.
Yeah us tankies hate it when the imperial core pisses off the rest of the world and unites them into a de facto anti-imperialist bloc. Noooo don’t do that!
Do these gloating warmonger idiots even for a second stop to think if their glorious empire could take on China, Iran and Russia simultaneously? This is a war they could never hope to win yet they are eagerly cheerleading it on. Literal death drive.
The US would have no chance. Russia alone can outproduce all of the imperial west in artillery shells by multiples. China has immense industrial capacity and a naval shipbuilding capacity that far exceeds anywhere else in the world. Both countries have access to fleet-ruining hypersonic missiles.
If China decides to reassert its sovereignty over Taiwan, the choice will be let China do it and do business with them as normal or blow up the entire world economy for years if not decades. The loss of shareholder value will be so massive in the latter that I'd have to assume the US would just let it happen.
Agreed. NATO can't even beat Russia alone, and China, when stirred, will make Russia look like a minor power.

Except weirdly enough, South Korea.

This is dangerous thinking. We shouldn't underestimate the willingness of the US to go to war.

In my view because of this a proper WW3 won't happen soon, no one with enough money to pull the strings wants to risk it. Plenty of money for more proxy wars and economic espionage though.
Time is running out for the US to even lie about its "dominance" though. Soon enough the lies won't even work and then it's time for war.
The US can't win a war against Afghanistan, how the fuck could it possibly win against any ONE of those countries, much less all three at the same time?
That last comment came to the right conclusion for the wrong reasons. No, we won’t fight for your imperialist world war you fucking fascists freaks
liberals fear a world where you can drink beer out of a stein while watching people joust
These peoples minds would explode if they ever visited a Chinese city. They are 100 years in the future, not in the past
They view China the way that 19th century colonialists viewed Africa.
I don't think the PLA is going to let you in, but otoh Vietnam demonstrated there are other options
I couldn't read that as anything other than sarcasm and then realized it wasn't
The previous generation fought against an aggressive fascist ethnostate regime that was quite literally rounding up people and gassing them en masse, while actively going to war with arguably the world's most influential worker movement in all history.
Today's generation probably won't even fight this country that like.. is.. foreign! And it does stuff that weakens the hegemony of the fascist ethnostate-allied west! And uh..
What the fuck are we coping about? I don't fucking like America. It's that simple. Is there some context that would change my opinion? I doubt it.
Edit: I see now. The cope that they wanted, "it's worse than a waste of money because it's meaningless and it's being used to kill innocents like Palestinians who are suffering under an apartheid regime."
its their way to internalize the contradiction
when its glaring enough then dont focus on the contradiction instead focus on how your ideological opponents will point it out and the hate you feel towards them. then you dont have to address the elephant in the room
i fucking hate to invoke orwell because libs love him but this not even the kind of thing he wrote about... he explicitly wrote about this exact thing
They think that "pissing off" foreign governments is a huge accomplishment because they're redditors
Rich that a country where most of the population doesn’t believe in its own democracy is the one spreading “democracy” through military force
Ah yes, the subreddit that officially made me delete my Reddit account.
i got banned from that sub and it was a favor to me and my mental wellbeing tbh
now i just browse the advice reddits for the drama and sometimes i read them outloud to my partner while she plays animal crossing and we laugh or cringe its a good time
its the only good thing reddit is for is gawking at the misfortune of the liberals who exist there
I got banned from there years before I finally left Reddit, for telling a Nazi to kill themselves.
These people are so overly dramatic and the embodiment of the 🤓 emoji. I can imagine these people being dropped off at Compton and hyperventilating at the sight of every non-white person walking by.
I've stopped arguing with with people now and anyone with a bad take I just say 🤓 and move on
