The bodies aren’t even cold and they’re selling “memorial books” talking about how evil Russia is and how good and wholesome Ukraine is. It’ll fit perfectly on every lib’s bookshelf next to their Harry Potter novels.

It’s one thing for these fuckers to war profiteer directly, but to turn the war into such a spectacle that they sell books to libs in the west like this, to commercialize this war like this, I know they’ve been doing that the whole time, but this is just hitting me hard. It’s so intense they are literally selling the propaganda to libs, who eagerly grab it to stash alongside their Zelenskyy funko pop.

I kind of want to just tap out of the world for a bit, take a break from it now. I’ll try to take solace in the fact that this sort of thing will be used as an example in future history books of how deeply ingrained the concept of “commercialism” was during the capitalist era and the students reading will be utterly perplexed by it.

Make no mistake, the “They should clarify their remarks” is diplomat speak for “This guy better check himself before he wrecks himself.”

True, I was drawing parallels to the Iran/Iraq war, but there really isn’t much in common except the US prodding them.

The quality part is what gets me. The west’s weapons have demonstrably been shown to be worse quality than Russian ones at this point. They’re just living in this fantasy where every sign that they are failing is actually proof that they are winning somehow.

Ten years apart and 2-3 years after the US government decision to spend billions on anti-China propaganda.

“Hundreds, perhaps thousands, hell, maybe even millions! There’s no way to know for sure, so just use your imagination to imagine the worst thing you can, then pretend that happened there. That’s how evil China is.”

Give me my cheque CBS.

“Safety and quality”

ah yes, when I think of western weapons manufacturing, I think of these two things. That’s why they can’t compare, because Moscow is cheating at weapons production.

Complete bullshit, always framing obvious failures of the system as “moral victories” it’s disgusting.

Smells like a lack of Freedom to me!

They do it because they know their enemies are more reasonable and far less aggressive and violent than they are.

Disney have actually been making great headway in animatronics in the past few decades. Soon every president will be able to walk and talk convincingly enough to make you think it’s a real person.

Imagine that. Imagine living in a country where people buy houses to live in, instead of as investments so they can charge people more than half their income every week just so they have a roof over their head.

Must be nice.

Sounds like this dipshit needs to start their own business and see how easy it is for a clever clogs like them to succeed based solely on their 400 point IQ.

Makes me wonder if a post-war Ukrainian rump state might try and capture territory from Moldova or somewhere in order to pay off their massive debt to the west, and be actively encouraged by the west to do so only for the west to flip around on them and attack them for it.

At this point, I’m completely convinced that he did it not because he cares about human life, but simply for all the attention he would get for stopping a nuclear conflict. Joke seems to be on him though, the western public is so bloodthirsty at this point that they love the idea of this war going nuclear.

Nato will also train to counter terrorist threats outside its immediate borders.

Scary stuff. Just straight up admitting they’ll invade other nations freely if they harbor “terrorists”

No, it’s perfectly fine for millions, hell, billions to die if it punishes Putin Bad Man.

So much of it feels downright…esoteric at times, like a bunch of magical rules and spells that are completely arbitrary and mysterious. The sheer amount of bending over backwards economics do to try and explain away stuff like the labour theory of value is astonishing.

Pure witch hunt. This is the new era of Mcarthyism. Good to see that the west learned absolutely nothing the last time, except for maybe that people can use it to destroy the careers of their political opponents with empty accusations.

Oh yeah, I think lemmy emotes work fine for me. I was trying to use hexbear emotes. I guess I’ll just try and stick with ours from now on.
