My fave part is the section of the bill that exempts it from FOIA requests…democracy…

      Yeah us tankies hate it when the imperial core pisses off the rest of the world and unites them into a de facto anti-imperialist bloc. Noooo don’t do that!

      Do these gloating warmonger idiots even for a second stop to think if their glorious empire could take on China, Iran and Russia simultaneously? This is a war they could never hope to win yet they are eagerly cheerleading it on. Literal death drive.

        The US would have no chance. Russia alone can outproduce all of the imperial west in artillery shells by multiples. China has immense industrial capacity and a naval shipbuilding capacity that far exceeds anywhere else in the world. Both countries have access to fleet-ruining hypersonic missiles.

        If China decides to reassert its sovereignty over Taiwan, the choice will be let China do it and do business with them as normal or blow up the entire world economy for years if not decades. The loss of shareholder value will be so massive in the latter that I’d have to assume the US would just let it happen.

    R/Worldnews is the single most propogandized place on the entire internet.

    While the rest of reddit was circulating the un report about how the people in the mass graves had their hands cuffed, the top post in worldnews was a press relief from the idf saying they didn’t kill anybody.

    The top comment was “well in the modern age this should be easy to prove” with half a dozen “removed” comments right under it.

        Yea but neolibleral almost revels in being the bad guys and leans into the stereotype of annoying douchebag (intentionally or not is another question)

        Worldnews posters are trying to act morally superior and like the reasonable adults in the room while parroting propoganda that would make a toddler raise an eyebrow from being to heavy handed.

        Difference is, everyone in r/neoliberal are already full on ghouls without a shred of humanity. r/worldnews is on the front page of Reddit with millions of normies stumbling into it
