144·13 hours agoThe number of parties has fuck all to do with how democratic a particular system is. It’s whose interests the parties represent that matters. In capitalist societies, parties serve the interests of the ruling capital owning class, and the working majority simply gets to pick which member of the exploiting class will rule over them and repress them.

They didn’t even bother coming up with pretext when they attacked Iran initially, I don’t see why they would now. Iran is also openly saying they shot that piece of shit down.
we can’t rule out a laundry fire
Ah yes, because after 4 years of Ukrainians being forced into fighting by the fascist regime the west backs, they’re so much stronger now. Oh wait…

My favorite trope is how libs will inevitably start screeching about Russia when faced with the fact that their ideology is midwifing fascism.
You are the master of fractal wrongness.
It’s pretty simple really. Liberals midwife a fascist system by justifying capitalist property relations while distracting people from class intersectionality with identity politics.

Liberalism is objectively a right wing ideology. Liberalism consists of two main parts. First is political liberalism which focuses on wholesome ideas such as individual freedoms and democracy. Second is economic liberalism which centers around free markets, private property, and wealth accumulation. These two aspects form a contradiction. Political liberalism purports to support everyone’s freedom, while economic liberalism enshrines private property rights as sacred in laws and constitutions, effectively removing them from political debate.
As a result, liberalism justifies the use of state violence to safeguard property rights, over supporting ordinary people, which directly contradicts its promises of fairness and equality. Private property is seen as a key part of individual freedom under liberalism, and this provides the foundational justification for the rich to keep their wealth while ignoring the needs of everyone else. Thus, the talk of freedom and democracy ends up being nothing more than a fig leaf to provide cover for justifying capitalist relations.
China, Cuba, Vietnam, and DPRK have all fixed the issue and have the working class in charge.
It’s not just the US though. None of these people have been punished in any western country, none of them are in jail. The whole Epstein fiasco proves beyond all doubt that Marxists were right all along. We live in a class society, and the laws of this society are created by the ruling capitalist class which subjugates and exploits the working majority. Any democracy that exists is reserved for the ruling elites.

You do realize Reuters has a strong western bias as well?
That’s not what I’m saying at all. The first step to my perspective is to consider the framing they’re using and to think why they want to push a particular narrative. Nowhere did I say anything about assuming they’re being truthful. Although, in most cases western media uses more sophisticated techniques for distorting information than outright lying. It will be omission of facts, framing, and so on. This is an excellent book dissecting how US propaganda actually works. https://november8ph.ca/psychological-warfare-in-the-strategy-of-imperialism-v-l-artemov/
And you should also widen your media diet to include non western sources. These will have different biases and framings which you can contrast with what western media reports.
Anybody who starts talking about Russia to distract from what’s happening in their own liberal state descending into fascism is indeed a lib. It’s amazing how intellectually impoverished you people are that you think your transparent straw man is going to convince anyone. Nobody was talking about Russia here at all. It doesn’t matter what Russia is like, that’s not the standard you’re being held to. But of course liberal have no standards and stand for absolutely nothing.
