The genocide is literally being streamed live, and people in the west continue to look the other way while western regimes keep fuelling it.

          By legitimate you mean state approved propaganda source lol.

          edit: it’s pretty funny how libs love to talk about how freedom of press is a big differentiating factor in the west compare to say China where media is more actively state controlled. However, these same people will dismiss any source that falls out of state approved mainstream. When alternative media exists, but it’s dismissed, then the end result is no different from having explicit state censorship. The only difference is that people do the work of the censors themselves.

    I have noticed that this account often posts inflammatory articles that lack credible supporting evidence. I think I’ll add it to my hexbear filter.

      Agree on being skeptical, not because it’s not plausible, but because we should be skeptical of the firehouse of misinformation going on right now. There’s no journalistic source attached to this, as far as I can see.

      But strong disagree on the whataboutism of “name a military that hasn’t done x”, as a way to justify horrible behavior. That’s just depraved.

              To say “they’re all trash” is to minimize the horrible behavior as commonplace, and the party committing it as not especially worthy of scorn. For example: “Germany shouldn’t have committed genocide, but what country hasn’t committed genocide?” This is a statement that minimizes the seriousness of genocide. It is a shitty thing to say.
