Why the fuck do I read hacker news comments

I basically wash them and then put them in the dishwasher lol

Here’s from Wikipedia in the aftermath of the 1989 protests:

The 21 most-wanted student leaders’ faces and descriptions were often broadcast on television.[262][263] Photographs with biographies of the leaders followed in this order: Wang Dan, Wuer Kaixi, Liu Gang, Chai Ling, Zhou Fengsuo, Zhai Weimin, Liang Qingdun, Wang Zhengyun, Zheng Xuguang, Ma Shaofang, Yang Tao, Wang Zhixing, Feng Congde, Wang Chaohua, Wang Youcai, Zhang Zhiqing, Zhang Boli, Li Lu, Zhang Ming, Xiong Wei, and Xiong Yan.

I mean, of course we should. But that doesn’t mean statements from the two have equal weight.

The US and all it’s propaganda apparatuses have not only a bias but an unhinged one. The general common knowledge is if you see something in western media about any non-western government or people, assume the opposite is true and you’ll be right 95% of the time.

Took me all of 3 minutes to Google this, open up Wikipedia and read:

The Society’s leadership from the 1920s-1940s was closely tied with the American and British Red Cross societies, the Kuomintang government and the Shanghai business community.

I’m not saying that the Chinese government is blameless or full of saints but comparing the two is ludicrous.

Like, having a discussion about this specific historical fact, comparing it to something that happened in the US a few months ago is really pathetic. Even if we took the western propaganda at face value, this was 40 years ago and the US police alone killed twice as many citizens last year. And that’s just the cops executing people on the street not to mention the historical injustice of the US “justice system” and it’s self reported by the cops so when they disappear people, it doesn’t count.

You expect me to trust a government that pulls that about how evil and authoritarian their ideological enemies are?

I have a lot more trust in the communist party of China than the fucking Reagan administration.

Reuters can also get fucked

This is a bananas fascist fever dream story

Lebanon was dragged into the war on March 2, when Hezbollah opened fire in support of Tehran, prompting an Israeli offensive that has killed more than 2,100 people, ⁠including 177 children, and forced more than 1.2 million to flee, Lebanese authorities say.

If I’ve got 100 million people behind me we’re not doing “congress” or “presidents” any more

No suicide missions.

US casualties were delivered in similar vans in this conflict.

Iran doesn’t need a navy. Drone swarms, fast remote controlled boats, mines and short range missiles are enough.

The efficacy of such weapons are already on display.

She ain’t coming back “in ten months”.

Any ship is going to get smoked attacking Iran

I have a “conservative” friend. We both had a bit of a crashout discussion last night. We’re American.

The economy is crashing in front of our eyes. We’re both extremely privileged and lucky and we both recognize it and we recognize how fucking stupid everything is in our society. We recognize we’re powerless to even change the nature of our jobs.

Lol I assure you tankie tanuki understands that
