People on the side of the cops will learn soon they are on the wrong side of polite society, and the wrong side of history.

There are some laws that even cops can't ignore, such as the law of gravity when a brick is in the air.

Not trying to defend NG or any US troops, but those examples were from the LA police, not the national guard. Of all the worst direct violence I've seen so far from LA, National Guard haven't been the ones attacking. From reports I've heard they are mostly standing around federal property because that's all they have jurisdiction at.

They will block the pepperballs, rubber bullets might break them but most could withstand the hit better than your eyeball. It would lessen the injury from any projectiles they're currently using, not actual bullets.

Fuck off, fuck the cops and fuck their nazi sympathizing defenders.

I didn't see much property damaged by protesters aside from ICE/DHS vehicles, but I did see numerous fires started by the munitions the nazis were using.

I don't think people killed on 9/11 deserved it, and that's not what they are saying, the materialist understanding of 9/11 is that it was an inevitable response after the decades of US and US-backed atrocities, it was specifically in response to:

al-Qaeda's motives for the attacks included Western support for attacking Muslims in Somalia, supporting Russian atrocities against Muslims in Chechnya, supporting the Indian oppression against Muslims in Kashmir, condoning the 1982 massacres in Lebanon, the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia,[5][6][7] US support of Israel,[8][9] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motives_for_the_September_11_attacks

If you wage war across the world don't you think someone will try to respond? US was the aggressor and had aided in the killing of thousands of civilians in numerous theatres, this could be phrased if you are being polemic as "the US deserved it." Do you believe the US is the righteous world police, protecting democracy?

And a nonbiased analysis will show that Russia is not about to collapse and is not necessarily losing the war at the moment. People such as on hexbear point out that Western media has been saying that Russia is losing badly constantly since the start of the invasion, why hasn't Ukraine been able to retake more territory then? Russia isn't necessarily winning either, it's a stalemate, even Ukrainian sources will say this. If the west isn't worried, why don't they do more to help Ukraine? If they were sure of victory they would push to end it more quickly militarily, instead of working on negotiations now.

Please do, give me quotes from hexbear users, that's what I've been asking for all along. I want to see directly what you think 'tankie discourse ' is.

It really is my experience, link me to or screencap what you consider a 'tankie' post.

Tell me what is wrong with Hasan? I don't follow him much but he's seemed pretty good. Maybe it's changed since then because I don't see those examples, but I found the "CCP" tabloid, the article is summarizing the 2025 Democracy Perception Index by Nira Data which has been cited in articles by Politico, Newsweek and is widely trusted.

DPI is an annual poll conducted in joint with the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, which was founded by Anders Rasmussen, former Prime Minister of Denmark and NATO secretary general.

It has some quotes from a Chinese professor but I don't see anything disagreeable with the article.

Over the past few months, the US has adopted beggar-thy-neighbor policies, protectionism, unilateralism, and a series of bullying practices in its foreign policy, which are both incomprehensible and unacceptable, Li said, as a result, the US' image and influence in global affairs have declined.

Why wouldn't Putin worry NATO, Russia has nuclear weapons and is fighting a brutal war against a western backed nation, I don't see that example but what does that have to do with tankies?

I've learned more about homophobia in Russia and China from hexbear posts because they actually have solid sources and not just Wikipedia links posted with no context, and from what I've seen it's a rare hexbear that would deny there is a problem with homophobia in Russia.
