Pretty weak attempt, Bobby Sands fasted for like 66 days before he died

Russia’a goal is destroying Ukraines military which they’re doing extremely effectively. They’re not racing to grab land lol

Means it makes sense, “that tracks” etc

You can tell a golden retriever “I hate you so much you’re such a dumb piece of shit” but in like a friendly, sing-songy tone and it’s the same to them as if you are saying “good boy, I love you”.

The joke is that libs are like that, as a politician your policy can be “fuck you stupid assholes, we don’t care about you” but if the tone is right lib voters will eat it up.

The U.S. basically formed the inspiration for Nazi Germany and has always been at least proto-fascist.

You’re correct, I didn’t remember how it was spelled and was just using the same spelling as the commenter I replied to haha

What happened with Sean Fain?

Im not sure if I’ve seen that as one poll done by the same group across both countries, but I’ve definitely seen those numbers and it was like 70%+ of Chinese and much lower for the U.S.

Edit: here’s one, it’s higher than I remembered for China, 83% of respondents to a poll in 2022 said the PRC is a democracy with 91% saying that democracy is important to them.

Yeah they literally will all just say something like “of course they say that, if you speak against the government in China they murder you”. Just totally made up shit but they all seem to believe it

But America is the most authoritarian country in the world with the most prisoners, police murders, most warlike and belligerent, etc. I guess you made a typo and meant to say that fascists and liberals lean heavily into authoritarianism which makes them quite similar.

The people you’ve been talking to aren’t “more informed” they’re a bunch of clowns lol.

You’re owned

Yeah I’m not and probably never will be in a position to be buying real paintings lol I looked it up more out of curiosity to see if I could find where it is located etc. In case you were wondering the painting is called Aggravation, by Briton Riviere (1896).

I want to buy that painting for my house (I don’t actually have a house but for a hypothetical future house), it looks awesome, I checked into it and it appears to have sold at auction for £6,000 in 2010, guess I’ll have to get a reproduction.

Lemmy had issues with people attacking the site by posting CSAM so hexbear doesn’t show externally hosted images to prevent that.

Yeah I’m sure the CIA would love to knock over Putin and install a pro-American toady in Russia

Like they did in Ukraine!

I get to reuse my links

Lmfao it’s Wikipedia bwahahaha you idiots are all the same.

They’re not. The U.S. doing a regime change coup and putting Nazis in power in Ukraine in 2014 was imperialism, that’s why people living in parts of Ukraine like Crimea decided they didn’t want to be a part of that country anymore. Also I have no idea what Winnie the Pooh logic is supposed to mean.

Russia isn’t doing imperialism, but America was when it backed the 2014 coup to oust the democratically elected government of Ukraine.
