the difference is that sources defining the tiananmen protests as a massacre are funded by the state department (both directly and undirectly) which has a long, storied and undisputed history of peddling propaganda; including my government’s own public admissions of doing so.
i’m an anglophile and dispelling the western propaganda about tianamen square is only a 30 second google search away; but your comment makes it look like you’ve never bothered.
i guess so. lol
the un vote is definitely damning and it’s anemic support for people in the global north’s periphery is concerning, but it doesn’t yet make for a imperialist-friendly pattern imo.
i could take guesses, but it’s better that you ask them yourself and you can do so through the link i shared.
entrenchment of the working class to support the capitalist class, against their own working class interests. They keep selling us the pipe dream but the few rewarding hits keep us coming back for more.
i think that the scope of the entrenchment is bigger than the working class and its exemplified by how even rational and/or rich people believe in it.
it’s one of those things were everyone knows is wrong; but we go along with it anyways because that’s “how the system works”
Ukraine was not “like Iraq or Afghanistan”. Ukrainians were “civilised”, they were “European”, they “watch Netflix and have Instagram”, they looked like “us”.
There we had it. It was out in the open. This was how western journalists, whether they would admit it or not, viewed the world. That racism, often hidden, informed which stories got covered and which ones got ignored.
a majority of my family members are white passing and they used to share with me the racists things people would say to them when they assumed that they were white like them and the most troubling things that they shared were how commonly those beliefs were shared.
i remember it from time to time and more show now that they’ve gone into the maga fold themselves.
but the ceo’s will get off scott free and leave their underlings to be hanged. lol
verifiable american propaganda is a very difficult pill for westerners to swallow; so most, like you, don’t bother.
seeing china’s anemic support for latin-american countries trying to shake off the yoke of the us empire’s control makes me pessimistic about brics ever gain the upper hand over the g8, despite it’s manufacturing strength and outsized economies.
i tried telling myself that they’re playing the long game by not overly antagonizing the current world’s super power while it’s still powerful enough to stop them as i watched these anemic displays; but it’s difficult to keep drawing this conclusion now that they’ve diplomatically given the green light to the 4th mass indigenous genocide & ethnic cleansing by the anglosphere.
worse than weapons of mass distraction. lol
i wonder which well respected public figure they’re going to get to publicly compromise his morals for this time, like this guy last time.
i tried breaking this cycle by signing up for a job that’s different from the previous ones and less proned to layoffs.
it’s only been a couple months, but so far so good.
telesur, soberania, & la jornada can help with the latter part and they do it in english too
i haven’t seen this version so i’m presuming it’s just stretching and i don’t see anything apetite impacting about that.
but only if they can convince belgium to take the fall later on.
you’ve fallen for american propaganda.
and doomed to failure at the hands of his “allies”
ever heard of the “special relationship” between the two countries that enable them to work together in arenas like this one and usaid literally funded several foreign “media” agencies like the guardian before trump shuttered it.
