US arrests Navy soldiers, accusing them of spying for China

Reply in thread

If you were a German in 1938 and two Wermacht soldiers were accused of spying for the USSR, you would be saying the exact same thing as you are now. I say this not as a dunk, but as a solemn acknowledgement that we are all products of our social environment. I don't think you're stupid, or a "bad person" (whatever that means) but I do think you should stop and consider the path that uncritically accepting your government's narratives about their rivals can lead you down.

Liberal whining about lemmy’s “evil tankie developers”. Get a load of this idiot.

My early childhood was spent listening to all the "reasonable, smart grownups" turn into wretched war hogs who would snarl that we need to glass the entire middle east, and now nobody talks about the genocidal invasions we carried out after that, everybody pretends they didnt cheer it on. And now that its politically convenient, now that one lone Christian psycho can make shit up and have the entire state apparatus repeat it, now they're pretending to care about muslim people, because it gives them a reason to snarl that we should glass China. These bloodthirsty freaks have no real values other than the voyueristic thrill of watching our war machine grind people to paste on their screens. Ask them what their "solution" would be for this "problem" and watch the Hitler particles start to glow as they suggest a coup, an invasion, bombings. Yet they're the ones who think they have any footing to lecture communists about humane treatment. As far as I know they're still forcibly sterilizing women in our many ICE concentration camps.

Was saying a few days ago, scattering bomblets all over your own farmland in a defensive war is so obviously a bad idea that the fact that theyre doing it now feels like a tacit admission that theyre never getting that land back.
