Calling the Soviets, the people who liberated the concentration camps and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty one of the "most brutal regimes in history" is literally Nazi propaganda. Stop repeating Nazi propaganda.

lol, is this the comment that made some midwest.social mod go buck wild banning you from every comm they could? This is where you (checks modlog notes) were "denying a massacre"? Mod who did that: please make sure to ban not only other users who mention what the BBC says, but also that you remove any posts that link CBS News and the New York Times for their tankie propaganda massacre-denialism!

You have nothing to feel guilty about. Pirating is literally the more moral thing to do.

Sounds like your daughter is at just the right age to start learning a new language? (Half joking) pirate-jammin

Contradictions intensifying, then.

You misused a quotation mark?! How dare you!!! Everyone reading this could have actually thought NATO officially released a statement using the phrase 'scawy Russian.' (I hope I didn't misuse those apostrophes right there.)

It wasn't because the fascists thought they were fighting Jews (in this case), it was because most of the Chechen soldiers were Muslim, who also have prohibitions on using or consuming pigs. It was of course typical nazi-style petty racism, but it was specifically about targeting Muslims.

Not everyone in the audience is that.

For sure, and I hope it didn't look like I was implying that. It's why I made a point to say that "some of us reading" appreciate your commentary. The "lying, willfully ignorant" thing was referring specifically to Unruffled and empireOfLove who you and robinnn were replying to respectively. The long process of questioning propaganda and the widening cracks that you describe is similar to my own experience, and I even commented recently about how the purpose of debating people in these online threads is rarely to change the mind of the person you're arguing with, but rather to speak to the audience and plant the seeds that their doubt will hopefully grow from over time.

It's not that they "don't have the balls" to do the right thing, it's that they have a vested interest in doing the wrong thing. The US isn't just failing to prevent genocide or punish those responsible, they are helping to conduct it.

I just want to thank you and @[email protected] for the time and effort you put into these heavily-sourced and informative comments. Even if these lying, willfully ignorant shitlibs can't appreciate it because it so clearly demonstrates how wrong they are and how little they know, some of us reading do appreciate it. I've learned a lot as a result and am better equipped to help others who might be willing to try to better understand the situation too.
