Explain what you think the word bias means and why its presence should be disqualifying

Leave everything but trash other people dropped

‘they have no justification to feel morally superior for not voting’

You supported a genocide

Eh I mean… it’s not like they’re doing it for ‘the greater good’

Historically the western aligned factions in eastern europe are those that sided with the fascists in ww2. When the US and Europe interveined in Ukrainian politics in the early 2010’s that’s who was elevated and that’s who’s in charge now.

So now the regional director of the holocaust has a national holiday in his honor. Slava.

At the risk of sounding glib, but I’m completely serious, the US state is fascist. It’s not about good or bad, it’s about the state cracking down on its opposition. And it’s not just now. Opposing fascism ‘too early’ in the ww2 period before the US joined the war, say, by supporting the leftists fighting in Spain would get you targeted for repression in the purges of the 50’s we call ‘the red scare.’

Literally every foreign engagement since Iraq

Cuba? Sudan? Lebanon?

Global warming?

Respond to the original criticism. Just because something is the most important doesn’t mean literally nothing else can be discussed. Even things that are less important. Like the completely unrelated subject of racism towards muslims.

HOLY SHIT WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A THING THAT ISN’T GAZA

Conservatives don’t need their consent manufactured to go bomb people. This is for liberals. This is to make them believe that they need to save people by bombing them.

Thank goodness the adults are in the room telling us that only one subject can be discussed in the world at a time

Leave the thread. Shut the fuck up. Do some self crit.

How are you talking about the mechanics at play when the price of tokens isn’t a part of your discussion?

The absurd initial prices of over 100 dollars is because steam will keep all of the money from games that don’t sell 100 dollars gross.

oh no

Feudal inequality existed, but Beijing weaponized class rhetoric to justify conquest. True liberation requires internal reform, not external military subjugation, cultural erasure, and the absolute destruction of local self-governance.

Are you reading this out of a civil war textbook in Alabama?

The problem with this argument is that it assumes Chinese imperialism was necessary to defeudalize Tibet

You failed to consider my mind palace, fool! I can imagine things going better! The perfect IS the enemy of good, but only in hindsight!

We defeudalized you so now we get to forcibly assimilate you / erase your culture is wildly unacceptable by any measure.

You thought my mind palace only had one weapon? Fool! I can invent reality wholecloth!

More specifically the four smaller stars represent the four social classes that participated in the revolution: Peasants, Laborers, the Petty Bourgeoisie, and Patriotic Capitalists. The large star represents the Communist Party of China that united and leads them.

Check your own country’s constitution, it’s probably in there.

The ‘just literally say whatever bullshit you want’ superpower

That’s real fucking ironic.

The ‘occupied territories’ all voted to have closer ties to Russia but then the government got couped by the west, their political parties were outlawed, their populations were ethnically cleansed, AND THEN THEY VOTED TO BREAK AWAY FROM UKRAINE AND JOIN RUSSIA.

The literal point of the war is to deprive them of their vote.

whataboutism
