i'm tentatively starting to feel like this and the other "political" subs are heavily astroturfed. not close to a majority of commenters, but enough to get the libs to feel comfortable in their inherent superiority over everyone else. you go to a lot of the "non-political" subreddits and people aren't nearly as smug and self-assured in their chauvinism. sometimes they even say some pretty cool stuff. then again, it is surprising to see a drama community online that isn't filled with out-and-proud nazis
Slop.

This has been true for over a decade
When America invaded Afghanistan over 20 years, they killed in total 50k civilians.
In half that time, the Soviets killed 2 million afghan civilians
Yeeeah, I don't buy those numbers for a millisecond
buh wikipedia says so
amerikkkans did kill 2 million iraqis if they really want to play this game
As shown in Fort Bragg Cartel, spec ops (death squads) in Afghanistan/Iraq had kill quotas they could barely even keep up with throughout these wars and these were never publicly tracked. 50k is definitely a lie.
Well see if we just define everyone within a 5 mile radius of a troop as taliban then blammo, no civilian casualties!
50.... 50 thousand...
I'm sorry... THOUSAND... 50 thousand civillians is somehow okay? Definitely a low number but that's still 2,500 non-combatants killed per year. If the town where I live had 2,500 deaths in a single year, there would literally be nobody left alive in this town. That's an entire town worth of people, not soldiers, just... people... killed.
Nothing about this number, even as inaccurately low as it most definitely is, should be okay.
I think there is something to be said for comparing the relative propensity for collateral damage between two militaries, but that only applies when the wars are just. The US invasion was not, which means 100% of the deaths were unnecessary.
Yeah, it's at least a million gorillion dead, no way evil commies would kill so few.
“Also the only difference between Russia and Israel is that Israel is Jewish."
lol, if the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are Israeli territory like Israel wants them to be then Israel is less than 50% Jewish.
FUCK YOU
STOP GENOCIDING THE PALESTINIANS YOU PIECES OF SHIT
Sincerely,
An anti-Zionist Reform Jew who had relatives that survived the Holocaust
It's chauvinistic and plays into the anti-russian Hysteria, but they seem to forget 15% of Israeli citizens came from Russia, most in the last 30 years.
Those political gains were won FROM the democrats, not BY the democrats.
Don't you dare point out who was president leading up to Stonewall lmao
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was the democrat version of gay rights
Or what party was president when Roe got repealed
Or what party was president when the defense of marriage act was signed
Or what party was president who started wars in Syria and Libya
Or what party was president when ICE was given the explicit right to indefinitely detain migrants thanks to the attorney general
I'm starting to think liberals may not be the good guys
Anyone who uses ”pali” or ”pally” is a Zionazi confirmed.
or says "the arabs"
Their smugness is so fucking annoying. The only values they stand for is western chauvinism. They are the type of people who both-sides a fucking genocide just so they can feel smugly superior to everyone else about how great their western democracy is.
Every single posts about Palestine in that subreddit will have some highly upvoted comment about why people aren't talking hard about Russia/Iran/China or something instead.
The Democrats are the left party in the US with the other being the GoP. Trans, LGBT, etc are represented by the DNC due to this. Therefore, all protections for the LGBT are Democrat driven.
That's certainly... an argument.
Minority rights have always been won by activists. Democrats sometimes pander to activists during election season, and then once elected do nothing about it until the issue reaches 51% in the polls^[And even then sometimes not, e.g. universal healthcare] or people start burning cities at which point they concede to their supposed values in order to maintain order
The earth is lit and heated by the sun. Therefore, all the heat on the universe is produced by the sun.
Trains are faster than bicycles. Therefore, everyone who traveled faster than a bicycle rode a train.
I can't believe reddit did a reddit redditly
I had forgotten how bad it was to venture out of my safe space of /r/TrueAnon, /r/TheDeprogram, and /r/ShitLiberalsSay
Controversial take but that "anti echo chamber" push in the 2010s was bs. I saw what libs had to say online and I had enough, I don't wanna interact with them
Westerners are a lost cause. Nuke every Western country.
Fortunately, Reddit is not real life
Cognitohazard levels of liberalism
Enough slop for me
they tend also to be fans of Putin, the CCP, the Iranian government, Hamas, and the North Korean government, despite many of those being right-wing.
nothing burger of a statement that obviously tries to blur the line between social issues and economic policy, maybe a decade more of social progression will stop uncle Bob from caring about not being able to feed his family, or maybe uncle Bob will (scary) blame the centre of Libs attention for his situation and vote for some bigot who is otherwise a near cut and paste cuck for big business.
What is the deal with their bad faith arguments too, there is easily accessible evidence rebuking the "genocidal USSR" slop but these fake leftists couldn't bother to use google?
Yeah they love to defend the idea Ukrainians inherently belong to Russia like slave
Projection 101
Die for America now please
