  • Oh give me a break. You want to flood every topic with misinformation- exactly as the russians have been doing for the past 90+ years?

    You think that EVERY BOOK coming out of america is “propaganda”? You think all books are being vetted by some sort of “propaganda department” and altered to give one party’s lies?

    That sounds just like the situation in russia and china. Try writing a book on tiananmen square and releasing it in china.

    Russia and china are complete jokes in terms of freedom for their citizens. The chinese can’t even fucking use the internet properly, russians can’t criticize the government without disappearing. If you lived in these countries you’d have to be using a vpn just to talk to us.

    Don’t be a hypocrit.

    America has a ton of problems, more than many other 1st world countries, however press freedom is very good. MANY authors will publish books which will be reviewed by the independent press. You choose the book you want to read, you can read all of them and compare notes and judge who you think is giving the big picture.

    Where’s china on that list? Oh, second from the fucking bottom above north korea. Fuck china. Russia is barely better. Who the hell would want to live in a communist country, not that you could call either of them that anymore.

    Communism was a failure, and always will be a failure. Capitalism isn’t the best option, but communism is obviously one of the worst.

    Judging by your comment history, however, comrade, I’m not surprised you wrote such propaganda. Putin will pin a medal on your body.






  • undefined> Basically, everything you just described is the natural consequence of war. That’s not excusing the Russians, but acknowledging that there are always examples of everything on that list on both sides in basically any war. I

    Except the Ukrainians aren’t intentionally striking civilians, raping, killing soldiers who have surrendered, castrating soldiers - we would have heard about it from the russians (though anything they release has to be treated with suspicion).

    The russians appear to want to be labelled as “evil”.

    And so they will be, except by russian sympathizers, whether they admit it or not.
