He is not satisfied destroying education in the just US.
Israel is the enemy of all humanity. Earth will not be in peace until these religious lunatics are destroyed.
Including the ones in the whitehouse
Primarily the ones there. Hegseth thinks he is starting a crusade to bring about Armageddon.
Add Saudi Arabia, they were in on Iraq and they placed Iran in their crosshairs.
More UAE than Saudi, but yes. MBZ is an Israeli puppy, MBS is just a moron.
I mean yes but they’re just following the US, the Saud regime would fall apart in a week if the US were to fall.
regardless of what anyone might think of Iran, this is evil
What anyone thinks of Iran should pale in comparison to what they think of the US. Truly the most evil nation since Nazi Germany.
did you forget Russia exists? or China?
Both are bad, neither is worse than the US.
Just going by invasions and regime changes alone the US takes the cake. That’s before you get into the spreading crack into black communities, chemical weapons on civilians, drone strikes on children, ecological destruction, genocide enabling, etc etc.
By numbers US is probably worse but the level of cruelty from Russia is unmatched outside of terrorist organizations
How so? You’d have to bring up Tsarist Russia atrocities to match American ones. I for one can’t think of something more cruel than napalming villages in Vietnam, or dropping nukes on civilians in Japan, and that’s just a couple of examples in the vast bucket of wsr crimes of the US.
Would it really be tho?
Like the US targets children and social gatherings to attack, tortures/rapes/murders innocent civilians in black sites, keeps a racial based underclass who they hook on drugs, violently assault from childhood, and lock up in record numbers to serve as legal slave labour. That’s pretty fucking cruel stuff.
Also invades small countries on whim, votes against the well-being of humankind, meddle in other countries’ affairs, has been in war for more than 90% of it’s existence, never held itself accountable, experiments on its own citizens, and is ruled by a cabal of paedophiles.
All true but I never seen videos o people being killed by sledgehammer to the head or castrated in cold blood with a blunt knife coming from the US.
The US has a myriad of world famous serial killers, i’m sure you can find one with that modus operandi.
i hate defending the US because it has had more direct bad impact on my life but by measure of lost life i’d still argue modern Russia is worse, and if we lump current China to not even that long ago China the numbers killed are not even close
the scale of China’s population just blows it all out of proportion
Nazi Germany wasn’t even the worst genocide of its time (what a putrid statement though true)
you sound like a nazi
by measure of lost life i’d still argue modern Russia is worse
Idk what lost life you’re counting, because it’s pretty well known that civilian casualties in just the Iraq war most likely dwarf Ukrainian losses.
ffs google, it is painful when i can tell people are not even trying and just mad at the US
i get it i do, US is doing bad shit but it’s obvious you’re not even trying to look
Oh indeed thanks for telling me that I need to google your vague and in no way clarified idea of what Russia is doing, when I can read goddamn Russian language itself and have been reading independent Russian-language opposition media covering Russian reality for ages, and know a whole lot more about it than you do.
Wow you’re truly stupid lmao. surely a genocide that massive in the modern era would have ANY FUCKING EVIDENCE
50+million chinese people and the ughyger genocide people would like to have a word with you. looks like .ML have come in droves to defend CCP/and russian genocide, must be nice to support that. Also white genocide isnt a thing, you racist.
Do you condemn Wihthe genocide?
Learn to spell
huh? write out your point like I’m 5 because it sounds like we agree and i’m confused
not to get all tankie on you, but China has thus far managed to restrain themselves from bombing other countries’ civilian populations.
dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’
like again I really don’t want to frame this like the US is the good guy, the US is not, but as a matter of scale currently China is still worse
China has been worse than Nazi Germany
all that said, US is trying real hard to be #1 in something again so yay!
fuck I hate this
dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’
Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.
I’m not about to claim they’re saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you’re going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.
Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.
Also the first result is literally a rebellion against invading foreign powers lmao.
recency bias, there are people still alive that were directly impacted
but thank you for actually reading about it
but yes the US is bad, i’m not defending it
but sure as fuck China doesn’t get to hand wave the past away
and not all of their evils have stopped
they’re just not being currently ran by an orange buffoon
the US had evil shit going on under Obama and yet the world image of the US was much better then
Do explain how China has been worse than Nazi Germany, sounds like delusion.
It’s a crypto fascist.
i’m not going to repeat myself it’s in the last post
You didn’t explain anything anywhere though?
Downplaying the genocide carried out by the nazis is actually sickening, and i’m sick of people whitewashing them.
You realize there has been three China since 1900? Qing dynasty -> Republic of china -> Current China. Also wtf are you even saying? You know the first thing that comes out from “Chinese atrocities from 1900” in google is the boxer’s rebellion? A push back from the people against the invading foreign powers that were starving China? This is like blaming Hamas/Hezbollah for pushing back against Israel, which i imagine you also disapprove of. Truth is that for most of the 19/20th century, China has been a recipient of atrocities by foreign invaders not a perpetrator, you should be aware of this if you’re so aware about the scale of China.
You mean the two countries tied for 3rd place in the most evil country competition?
recency bias and the US outsized reputation makes it seem that I’m sure but lol if you think this is true
we’re just more free to complain about it, probably not for much longer though
so if you think it’s bad now buckle up and I say this as a generational casualty of US colonialism
Its not receny bias. The US didnt just turn evil in Jan 2025.
How are are all those black prisoners working in privatised prisons doing by the way?
China has 4 times the population as the US, yet the US still has the largest prison population on Earth.
Slavery never ended in america.
Land of the free my hole. Its literally the least free country on the planet.
who said anything about 2025? even if you want to peg the US evil starting with Nixon (which isn’t perfectly true as we were war profiteering in ww1/2) that’s recent, the US is a baby nation
now you’re just throwing strawman arguments, I don’t support any of this shit the US is currently doing, it’s just stupid to think China hasn’t done worse in the last century, isn’t doing equally evil shit now
Did you hit your head as a baby?
Nothing Iran has ever done is even comparable to what Israel and the US have done in the past 3 years alone.
Of all the countries that need to be dissolved entirely as political entities, Israel and US are far higher on the list than Iran

Bold of you to assume the US and Israel will last generations in their current forms.
The Nazis didn’t create generations of future enemies for Germany.
No country lasts generations in a static form. That’s not a thing.
which is why authoritarians in thier last grasp of power, is trying everything to distract thier own population, and others from an internal uprising.
one thousand new hamas’es, so they can continue to have someone to point to while they do their genocides
They don’t need hamas to commit genocide. See e.g. the west bank. They will find an excuse anyway, at least hamas actually puts up a resistance.
but they will be poor and potentially malnutrition and potentially civil warring for the foreseeable future.
At least that seems to be the hope

Why on earth would they not want death to the west? It’s not like we haven’t deserved it. Israel is way more extreme than either Hamas or Hezbollah. That’s what happens when you create an ethnostate, arm them to the teeth, and back them unconditionally for generations.
I take some slogans everyday instead of death and destruction.
I remember them saying and acting like Iraq was always a place of poor literacy, conflict, and poverty and a stone age culture.
Without ever acknowledging that this was basically the point (which many said in the lead up to the war in 2002) of the Iraq war.
Good way to ensure that whatever regime rises from the ashes will be even more backwards than the last.
I mean, that is their goal.
If anything, I think this will motivate the government to build even more.
also following PUTINS lead, considering this was the pretext of lifting sanctions russian oil.
They also bombed the largest factory producing anti-cancer drugs and other medical facilities.
More than 600 schools have also been hit.
The USSA is as bad as the Shitraeli genociders.
Absolute monsters.Also the USA
Why does everyone hate us? We are good people, nice people, nobody should hate us!
Hate the government and the people who support it, not all Americans!
Americans have been supporting this kind of shit for decades, they’re all complicit at this point.
Yes, all people born into oppressive regimes that are often racistly holding them down are complicit. By that logic, the victims of apartheid states deserve it?
They do not deserve it but they fight against it, sometimes they lose sometimes they win. Americans do not fight against it.
There haven’t been any coups. No one has taken power by force (not since they genocided the native civilizations, at least). A vast majority of Americans have voted time and time again, for decades, for this shit, and will keep doing so if there are any elections after Taarump.
Egoism, racism, imperialism, murder, child abuse, and runaway untethered capitalism are core American values. Basic principles upon which their culture is built. Don’t compare them to actual victims. They reap what they sow.
I’m trying to understand the logical conclusion of your viewpoint. Do you believe even the victims of racial oppression, often also in the form of voter suppression, are responsible for all the crimes past and present of the country they found themselves trapped in?
Are you also personally responsible for any reprehensible behavior the country you were born in has committed, past or present?
I’m responsible for the actions of the governments I vote for, and those of the governments I don’t rebel against. As are American citizens.
Many of the victims of racial oppression in the USA had no problem voting for Trump, or previous criminals who held offices in their government. I’m sure most of them happily voted for Obama, another mass murderer like the majority of US presidents in history.
Because as all Americans they share those rotten core values, and will happily vote for anyone who’ll act like a bully and harm the weak, ignoring that he’ll also hurt them.
This is the way
99.99% of americans then. I have no respect for the good american people, they clearly have no will to fight and at some point they have to take accountability for not doing anything.
Everyone means your leaders, not you. I think.
We totally never hurt anyone or ever intended yo hurt any.
The US has done this exact shit off its own steam before, no need to fall back on the Israelis as defense. They utterly destroyed the North of Korea during their genocidal anti-communist war, for example.

genocide supporters get the woodchipper
What genocide would that be?
YouTube Communist isn’t an ethnicity
“All the koreans we genocided were youtubers” is the dumbest and most anachronistic genocide denial I ever saw
Does acting this dumb take work or does it come naturally?
I don’t know, you’d need to tell me.
Or do you really believe koreans aren’t real humans? Most yankees are rabid dehumanizers after all.
My original question was “what ethnicity (am I in favour of genociding)” where the bracketed implication involves 40th percentile reading skills. Assuming you meet that criterion, you might get the second sentence meant that murdering every last YouTube Communist would not count as an answer, as it’s not an ethnicity.

God you libs are insufferable
Aw, you’re all here. How nice for you
What a way to interpret a comment that said nothing like that. They just pointed out how the comprehensive bombing campaign resembles the level of destruction done to another sovereign nation.
It’s always amazing to me how libs have to constantly make up interpretations and arguments to fight against. One of the reasons I left piefed was that people kept yelling at me for saying things that I never said.
Like, I get that liberalism is openly failing right now, but maybe do some self-analysis on why that is, rather than building strawmen.
There are a disturbing amount of people who just can’t read and will just make up what they think you said to fill in the blanks of their skimming
Yes everything to the left of supporting North Korea is liberalism
May you live to vote for as many actual socialists and communists as I have.
And the first one that came to mind was fucking North Korea, because that’s a totally normal, not terminally online thought process for a socialist
So your first thought was “Lets mock this person for bringing up a relevent historical point”?
lol, what a tool

Ok buddy
“This is just like what the US did to my favourite monarchy 75 years ago”
Yeah because famously only the DPRK’s ruling family was in North Korea; when you attack a country that everyone cries about and calls a dictatorship, famously only the ruling people are hurt by it (and it’s spelled ‘favorite’; what are you English?)
to a war crime happening today
If you have the mental capacity to understand that tons of innocent people get hurt by these demonic bombing campaigns, try and see if you can stretch it further to imagine what it would look like when you do it to countries in Asia as well (do some warming up exercises first, you don’t want to hurt yourself)
We don’t require any lessons in English, thank you.

Are you referring to North Korea? The DPRK has a cult of personality thing going on, for sure. But that hadn’t developed yet, by the time of the Korean war. Rather the DPRK was a really quite vibrant multi-party Socialist democracy.
The overwhelming dominance of the WPK, and the ostensible sidelining of other parties and organizations in the Supreme People’s Assembly only starts to occur after the war. With the genocidal bombing of the Korean peninsula by the United States, and subsequent economic and diplomatic isolation, being the primary engine which drove political centralization.
Compare the results of 1948 SPA election results with those of 1957.
Cool. Not sure what it has to do with North Korea being their favourite monarchy today though?
The person you responded to was talking about the United States’ war in Korea:
They utterly destroyed the North of Korea during their genocidal anti-communist war, for example
You responded with:
“This is just like what the US did to my favourite monarchy 75 years ago” - a totally normal leftist response to a war crime happening today
The DPRK, in no way, resembled a monarchy prior to the Korean war, like you implied. The DPRK developing such a centralized cult of personality, and took up it’s particular foreign policy positions, as a direct result of US war and occupation.
The US and Israel indiscriminately bombing civilian targets in Iran with the explicit intention of inducing some sort of societal collapse is absolutely comparable to the Korean war.
The response of Iran to dig in its heels, appoint the previous Supreme Leader’s son as his successor, and take up such an aggressive posture, is also a direct result of US intervention, and has clear parallels to the DPRK example.
These countries, like Iran and North Korea, are the way that they are, not in a vacuum. Not because They’re ontologically evil. But because they’re responding to genuinely horrific conditions imposed upon them by the United States.
Whatever we might feel about them. Even if I don’t like that the DPRK has developed this cult of personality around the Kims, that fact is secondary to the material reality of what has caused this state of affairs in the first place.
You’re not getting dragged in this thread because “Le Stoopid Takies Luv Teh Commie Monarchy!1!” But because you’re missing the forest for the trees.
If you actually care about the People of the DPRK, and ending the Kim’s cult of personality, then you should want a formal end to the Korean War, the withdrawal of all US military assets from the peninsula, and for there to be UN mediated talks between North and South Korea about how they might be able to integrate, politically, socially, and economically.
Similarly, if you actually care about the people of Iran, and the wider middle east, you should want an end to this war, withdrawl of all US military bases from the region, the dissolution of Israel, in favor of a multi-ethnic Palestine with right of return and reparations for all Palestinians, and a laying down of arms for all Iranian-backed non-state actors who would no longer need to fight in the absence of Israel.
Complaining about Tankies online does none of this
God what a screed for 8 valuable words.
The person who responded did not choose North Korea out of the blue. They chose North Korea because they like North Korea today. America and/or Israel have committed more recent genocides and more egregious genocides. Even literally in the 1950s.
That’s the weird thing. And weird is all it was, not even incorrect. That that was the first thing to mind is ridiculous. All the rest of it is just tankurbation
I mean they already killed their own.
Oh god who let .ml and hexbear into these comments
Muting those instances made Lemmy a lot more pleasant. Highly recommended
How to do that?
In your account settings there’s an option to block and mute instances and communities
And thus, debate is dead, and your cozy bubble is formed. I get banning troll users, but banning a whole instance is a step towards killing what the federation is supposed to stand for.
Those extremists are not here to debate. They are here to push propaganda. Why would you want to engage with someone who isn’t arguing in good faith?
Those “extremists”, including me, only push back when a fascist comes out and brings up how evil China is in a thread about the US bombing Iran. The only people pushing propaganda are these fascists trying to excuse the criminal actions of the US and Israel.
E.g. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11209483/8011201, https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11209483/8012767, https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11209483/8009784
There’s a difference between debating and toxic fascism
That’s no debate with insincerity, only a platform for lies.
Can’t debate a bot.
I get what you’re saying, but there is no objective defence for what is Russia doing in Europe. Anyone who sides with Russia or defends Russia either has personal interests in it, or the person is so easily brainwashed they’re more dangerous than LLMs
These people want no debates or opinions they dont agree with… They cant stand it.
They want that bubble because it makes sense to them. The world becomes simple.
Do you even know what you’re talking about?
Nope, it’s the best decision I made. I don’t want to debate extremists that start insulting me as soon as a I don’t agree with all of their takes.
And btw at least with my client/instance, banning an instance doesn’t ban the users, so you can still interact with them on other instances.
Edit: And I don’t want to generalise, I’m sure there are .ml users that are fine. But I’ve had enough bad interactions with them that it warrants an instance ban.
the only other .ml that isnt politicals just engage in tech content like they are supposed to. somehow tankies co-opted .ml as a political haven, might have something to do with a tankie developer though.
they can smell russia/china criticism and they come like rabid dogs.
