There is literally a phone call recording of Victoria Nuland picking the next PM (who does become the PM) but debatebros are like “umm actually sweaty euromaidan was not a coup because it lasted three months which is in direct contradiction of the merriam-webster definition of the word ‘coup’ where it is described as ‘sudden’”.
Despite using words incredibly “liberally” these folks will suddenly care a whole lot about very strict dictionary definitions when it suits them.
Oh god another arbiter of truth lib. I actually think writing “objectively” is more deceitful than showing your biases
ETA: like I wrote in a comment to him, it’s not like Yog is even some conniving communist trying to hide anything, yog openly has ussr shit as a banner and profile pic, uses the same name on a lemmygrad and lemmy, like it’s not some secret about his political biases lol
Exactly, libs confuse their opinions being mainstream in the west with being unbiased. They believe that theirs is the one true view of the world and any divination from that view constitutes a bias. It’s basically a religious viewpoint like they have some divine truth and everyone who disagrees with it is a heretic.

Yeah, it’s a variation of the argumentum ad populum fallacy. People assume that since their opinion is mainstream that makes it correct. There’s also often a chauvinist aspect to it as well since they assume the views their society holds as mainstream are more correct than mainstream views of other societies. This is why westerners tend to take it as given that their way of life is correct and that people in China need saving.
Just like libs trying to show that Dessalines is a tankie through OSINT. Libs are mostly illiterate, if they ever click through links and read something, it becomes extensive research.
Sneaky communists, trying to conceal the fact that they’re communists by having their username be the same as a based Haitian anti-colonial kkkrakkker killer, making their PFP Fidel Castro, their banner Mao, and having a large public reading list of communist literature and US atrocities as well as a youtube account with a shit ton of audio books of communist literature! These communists are experts at hiding their true intentions so that normal™ people will be willing to consider their views!

I hope it’s obvious that /s is being used heavily here.
BTW @Redlogic@lemmygrad.ml your account is marked as being a bot. You can change that in your account settings.
Yes, Im a CCP bot.
lol did they? like it’s all OS, what type of INT did they really need?
One guy was spamming links to his github as if he is hiding his affiliations and convictions.They were like He is denying genocides holodomor uygur , tankie tankie tankie do not fund him.
suraly it was a confused comradr showing, eh, very important commits?
Personally, I have no idea what aid program he’s referring to. But that’s not the point.
Maybe you’ll need to do some reading, maybe you’re just not interested.
This new brooklynman even admits to having no clue about anything. Twice.
🤣
but rather explains a trick that is used by propagandists all over the world
Looks like you officially got the “propagandist” badge, congrats!
Also, he pretends “aid” is an entirely innocuous word, as if all the good canadians want is to be nice, instead of putting it in context of the history of colonialism, where “aid” far too often meant chopped hands and burnt villages. But expecting a liberal to consider history might be a bit much.
Libs just handwave any real inconsistency with their worldview by saying “well, it’s a trick! A magician’s sleight of hand! I don’t need to consider whether maybe my beliefs are wrong or incomplete, I can just declare it so, pull the wool over my eyes and go about my day!” Must be nice not having to consider reality.
Looks like you officially got the “propagandist” badge, congrats!
achievement unlocked!
Talk about a worthless accolade with how willing libs are to hand 'em out to every Tom, Dick, and Sally that has the unmitigated gall to disagree with their FIVE EYES daddies.
Memorial Victims of Yogthos

Fucking lol, also by their standards they are distracting from the Israeli issue by pointing to Ukraine.
It’s pure gold, also check out his comments here, amazing stuff https://lemmygrad.ml/post/891400
gold indeed.
“use of trigger words is unfair”
meanwhile they: look at the ruskies ogre genociding our poor pet nazis
The best part there is the utter lack of self awareness. I get the impression that person genuinely believes everything they’re saying.
Since this was a stone thrown at Ukraine I had to participate
Yeah, I can already tell this will be a fun read 🤣
A very big, explosive stone moving at hypersonic speeds

I accidentally clicked lemmy.ml instead of lemmygrad.ml in my bookmarks today – what a horror show… i hadn’t actually visited it in the past couple weeks but it seems to show no signs of slowing its crazy descent into a reddit clone
Yeah, the quality of discussion went down significantly after all the redditors discovered lemmy. One saving grace is that at least all the large communities were created prior to the migration and moderation is solid.
“Keep Thinking” - in this ukronazi’s case, “start thinking” might be useful advice, as he’s clearly not right now.
These people are incredibly smug because their views are currently mainstream. That’s not going to be the case for too much longer however, and they’re going to have a really hard time adjusting to that reality.
Unfortunately, I think most of the libs will just go along with whatever the mainstream view becomes, regardless of contradictions. Not like they really care about any of this anyway.

Exactly, we can at best count for some confusion when the US media machine realigns itself to the new thing and then they will get back to being smug again, like everything didn’t happened.
He already does not understand that he was not seeing a Mastodon toot. How can we expect him to understand a 10-word phrase about geopolitics
LMAO excellent point there
I think I lost 20 IQ points after reading that blog post.
You see, we don’t call a positive political event a coup.
“if we like it then it’s not a coup!”
lmao
They literally think like this. when the military came on television and asked morales to step down in Bolivia, it was either NYT or wapo that had an article saying “don’t call it a coup”.
Funny how the definition they use below doesn’t even support this claim.
coup a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group
There’s another hilarious term the human rights concern troll NGOs have called authoritarian democracies. It’s applied to any country they don’t contest/allege fraud in the election results but nonetheless don’t like the ruling party 🤡
For being stoic, civilized Aryan supermen, these ukronazi types sure don’t have a whole lot of dignity
they certainly do not
