IIRC while Serbia had carried out atrocities before NATO intervention, most of the atrocities against Bosnians and other minorities came directly following the massive escalation that came with NATO involvement. So it makes sense for even a Bosnian to come to that conclusion, because NATO was a lot more concerned with protecting the interests of American and Western European capitalists than human rights.

BIT IDEA: 2 hour long video where you just keep reading through graphic descriptions of Israeli atrocities with video and photo evidence, but you always describe the issue as being "complex and multifaceted." You don't cover even a single hiccup the Palestinians ever had (this gets pretty hard with post-Arafat Fattah since they are basically just Israel but wearing a mask). Screw it, do straight up historical revisionism and skirt around the entire history of the resistance so you don't have to acknowledge any of the actual "complexity" (funny that the only complexity of the issue the mainstream liberals know about is the resistance taking prisoners of war... which is just straight up legitimate? many of them don't know about actual missteps like the airport attack, the USSR's wobbly support of the resistance, the infighting, compromising of Fattah, etc)
A hygienic capybara, if you will.
He definitely should've had a better answer to the Ethnic mix question than "predominantly Persian and Shia." Because if you asked the same thing about the US and replied "predominantly white and Protestant" it'd be absurdly ignorant. Yeah, dude, what about the Turks, Arabs, Lurs (I'll admit I didn't know about this group until I brushed up on the wikipedia article), Kurds? What about the Zoroastrians? The Jewish minority in Iran?
Well that's what's pissing me off! If you are pro-Ukraine so you don't want your country to support Russia, then you already won! You don't have anything else to do (I mean, go ahead and sign up to fight with Reddit mercenaries for Azov if you really want) but otherwise, it's a waste of everyone's time.
You don't have to be an essentialist to look at the situation as it is for the vast majority of men and feel like it's best to just check out. Just like you don't have to believe that people are biologically predisposed to be fascists to flee a fascist country. You just do what you gotta do
I hate how ineffective these redditors are at arguing against the "Iran is bad too" line. Oh, so Iran supports Russia? And Russia is bad? I guess if I want to be fair, if I'm sabotaging British planes that help Israel I must also sabotage British planes that help Iran. Because Iran is bad.
Ok, done. All British planes and intelligence agents and politicians that were supporting Iran have been dealt with. Now we just have to take care of the pro-Israeli ones, which I'm sure you'll join me for because you were just interested in fairness.
This response is just so overplayed and so brainless that they've started deploying it even in cases where the action in question had exactly 0 to do with getting popular support. An anarchist could [redacted] a bunch of ICE agents and break out a hundred people from an immigration facility tomorrow and this response would get spit out by social media bots.
Hurts being a Catholic anti-imperialist seeing the pope meet Zionist nazi Ben Shapiro meanwhile the Ayatollah cannot stop racking Ws.
Does she even claim to be a socialist? She only ever talks about cultural issues and "deradicalization." I appreciate her for having been an important part of my process of learning about politics several years ago, but she barely talks about anything economic ever.
Plus, even if Russia wasn't much weaker than the US, I still can't do anything to affect them except support the Military Industrial Complex or their candidates. I'm not gonna do that anyway. So what does it matter if, emotionally, I like Russia? It's not like my "support" for them means anything.
On the other hand, the way that the Uyghur atrocity propaganda caught on in western countries (and to my knowledge it did work on Muslim communities in the West) but it never really found fertile ground in most Muslim majority countries implies that western soft power has declined a lot. Not to mention how much more prevalent anti-zionist views are outside the West.
