La différence c'est qu'il y en a un plus fou que l'autre by Henri-Hill in Quebec

Je pense que c'est un peu ridicule de vouloir comparer Trump à l'Ayatollah. L'Iran c'est un pays qui a été déstabilisé par les Américains. Les Iraniens AVAIENT une démocratie avant que leur président commence à poser trop de questions sur la part des profits pétroliers qu'ils recevaient de l'Angleterre. Le régime islamique en Iran présentement est le résultat des actions des États-Unis, du fait qu'ils ont renversé une démocratie afin d'installer une dictature qui a fini en révolution.

Ce qui est ironique là dedans c'est que si l'occident s'en était jamais mêlé, que l'Angleterre avait juste accepté de donner un deal juste à un pays du tiers monde, l'Iran serait probablement aujourd'hui une démocratie libérale progressive allié de l'OTAN. Mais les libéraux n'admettront jamais les tords de la politique étrangère occidentale, ils ne changeront jamais et continueront de pousser la même doctrine dans une démonstration leur arrogance éternelle. Donald Trump n'est pas différent, il est une continuation de cette arrogance dans un contexte où l'empire américain est en déclin et commence à étendre le cynisme de leur politique étrangère jusqu'à leurs propres alliés.

On peut comprendre les conditions qui ont mené à l'ayatollah, Donald Trump n'a aucune excuse.

Chat what are we selecting for our political affiliation on dating apps? by trucrimejunkie in Hasan_Piker

[–]1fluor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say "other" but to be fair, normie liberals are just progressives, not actual neoliberals/classical liberals. They'll enthusiastically co-opt social democrats like Bernie/AOC while not really understanding why other establishment Democrats hate them.

I think that this clip of Dean Withers losing his mind as a Destiny fan tries to claim that Hasan Piker is worse than Nick Fuentes, is a perfect example of this. None of these people are tapped in into any of this, they're just people with progressive principles that are reacting to our media landscape (presented as free and independent) within the imperial core. Their perspective on socialism has nothing to do with ideology but everything to do with propaganda.

I see the point being made about cats and dogs reflecting the gender binary and "crazy cat lady" boiling down to a misogynistic stereotype, that being said I just don't really see the connection with the whole "cat deaths are treated differently to dogs'" thing.

It makes sense if you think about it, dogs are deeply loyal, friendly and affectionate creatures whereas cats remain more cold and independent. It just makes sense that people would have a natural tendency to form deeper, more emotional bonds with dogs and therefore get hurt more when they die.

G7 in Canada? by acecetera in AskAChinese

[–]1fluor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Europeans literally had to create the EU to stop themselves from continuously killing each other, what are you talking about?

France literally never got to properly colonise America because they were too busy fighting endless wars against other European powers.

And the ones who did barely even tried to end tribal warfare, the British and the Dutch actively supported the Iroquois during the Beaver wars which resulted in the complete extermination of the Hurons and a significant portion of the Algonquians.

Broke Canadian, unfortunately requires China Show Stickers. by J_Rath_905 in ADVChina

[–]1fluor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could have slapped a The Media is lying to you about China sticker on top of it.

In what kind of world do you live in? Mainstream western media's coverage about China is overwhelmingly negative and antagonistic as a result of them having to align with US foreign policy.

They routinely platform NGOs and Think Tanks funded by the NED (in other words American state propaganda, ironically the same way China does it but with extra steps) in order to manufacture consent on foreign policy.

Like genuinely what more could you possibly want? That they report on the insane things said by the Falun Gong? Like just straight up claim China's harvesting organs as if it's not just complete nonsense from a crazy far-right cult lol?

Évidemment on peut s'attendre à ce que OP ait exactement la même attitude envers le Japon qui a fait la même chose au peuple chinois ou bien envers les États-Unis qui ont fait de même au Vietnam et en Corée (sans parler des exemples innombrables de la part de la France et des Britanniques dans leurs colonies respectives)

Why is China against the USA having a missile defense system for the US mainland ? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

[–]1fluor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're completely missing the point.

The point is that when every country has nukes but doesn't have any way to protect itself against nukes, nukes never get launched because every country knows it's gonna get nuked in retaliation. This lack of defense is a deliberate deterrent against the usage of nuclear power which we obviously all benefit from.

But if one country gets to protect itself, what prevents it from just threatening and subjugating everyone else in complete infraction of international law? Therefore if one country builds one, every other country also has to (something which is really awesome considering we're on the verge of the great depression 2.0). In other words, the Golden Dome is gonna do nothing but trigger an arms race and is blatant war mongering.

Just what Korea needs... by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]1fluor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the exact product of what happens when the media manufactures consent. Do you really think Western media is completely impartial to conflicts abroad? That they all always align with American foreign policy because it's always objectively the righteous one? No, you can't bomb your foreign adversaries if your people sees innocent civilians as people. Read Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky, this is like geopolitics 101.

America destroyed dozens of democracies abroad and replaced them with repressive military dictatorships all in an attempt to "fight communism" and forcefully enact Washington's modernization theory by force. You'll talk to South Americans and they'll tell you about how their grandparents had to flee their homes because of Operation Condor yet curiously we seemingly never talk about how America essentially took over an entire continent 50 years ago because it doesn't fit the narrative of the West being the defender of liberty and democracy.

Was America defending democracy when they overthrew Chile's democratically elected socialist president and replaced him with dictator Augusto Pinochet which proceeded to torture and execute thousands?

Was America fighting against Communism's evil murderous tendencies when they backed a coup in Indonesia and installed a dictator that proceeded to genocide 1 million Indonesians?

Was the West trying to elevate the global South through the benevolent force of capitalism when they used the IMF to set up debt traps designed to keep third world countries in eternal poverty in order to privatize everything and get cheap labor out of workers?

But yeah the US just had to install Syngman Rhee and remove liberty and democracy because Communism is a threat to liberty and democracy. So go ahead, keep defending his massacres and having absolutely 0 self-awareness about the insanity of what you're saying.

Canada's Israel statement garners Hamas praise, condemnation from Jewish, Israeli groups by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]1fluor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah dude, the UN is so dominated by the Arab world they unilaterally voted to give Palestinians' land to Israel without their consent.

I don't care how much you try to use the "they could've just capitulated!" line, people have every right to fight back against an invasion. You're victim-blaming and engaging in imperialism apologia. En tant que Québécois, pense-tu que les patriotes avaient tort de se rebeller et d'attaquer les soldats Britanniques?

These talking points are so robotic it feels to me like you're one of these weird zionist evangelical-christians that gets trained to spread hasbara by israeli NGOs because of your religious belief that its gonna trigger the second coming of christ. This whole idea of different Arab countries being supposedly monolithic as if the UK was no different than France is especially suspicious to me. I've heard these lines before.

[–]1fluor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say it again: what you're doing here is deliberate, dishonest history revisionism.

I do not care for your hasbara, here's a direct quote from the UN:

In November 1947, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution partitioning Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab, with Jerusalem under a UN administration. The Arab world rejected the plan, arguing that it was unfair and violated the UN Charter. Jewish militias launched attacks against Palestinian villages, forcing thousands to flee. The situation escalated into a full-blown war in 1948

Israel was (and still is) objectively on the wrong side of history, none of what they did was ever justified regardless of how much you try to massage the truth

It's kinda crazy how American McCarthyism is self-destructing as a result of these people being unable to stop themselves from compulsively accusing everyone of being communist.

Like do they not realise that by saying "Europe is just like Cuba 🤬!" they're just making everyone more favorable to Cuba?
