Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I'm just showing these comments I saw earlier, which were interesting. Since it is true, that we've been hearing that "Russia is cornered", since the invasion started. I personally just want this shit to end.
These comments are relating to an article from this week.
I wonder if we will ever know what truly happens on the ground (i.e. when it comes to casualties and many other things)
What happened to all the people on Reddit who seemed to have loved peace? Why is every single Redditor a war hungry monster? Did I hallucinate those people?
reddit is astroturfed and full of bots pushing US state department propaganda. Eglin air force base was identified as the most "reddit-addicted" city in 2013, but reddit removed the blog post.
every redditor who is bloodthristy right now has simply internalized the narrative that Russia attacked Ukraine unprovoked and that the US has done nothing to cause or prolong this war.
the imperial core has always been genocidal and bloodthirsty, and reddit users are majority in the imperial core.
You're thinking of tankies. Tankies are the people calling for an end to the war, and the anti imperialist peace loving democrats are the real Gandhis
Reddit libs use the same type of phrases and terminology when describing Russia and other "enemies" of the US State Department, as fascists and far right freaks in Europe do when describing Muslims and Arabs / Middle Easterners (same thing in their mind really). It's fucking terrifying how quickly they got on board with the whole "enemy of the free world" shit that also got them to support the interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
