I apparently skipped level ??? and went straight to believing the Black Book is fascist propaganda. I didn’t realize I was supposed to stan Pol Pot first!

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Got to "warmongering creatures" and then it stopped being funny
It's disgusting that this sentiment has become so normalized; even Russians who just want to go on steam to buy video games have to put up with this hateful rhetoric (and ironically by people in the Imperial core no less).
How people from countries that participated in America's vicious military efforts can unironically say something like this I'll never understand. Legit, we should be the last people on the planet to refer to the people of any other nation as 'warmongering creatures'. There were people literally publicly begging Trump to pardon war criminals before he left office.
One of the stated goals for the Chinese cloistering their internet from everyone else was to limit public engagement with anti-Chinese racism online. Most Chinese people in my experience have very positive opinions on America and Americans and imo it is because they don't engage with the English speaking internet.
My alienation from liberalism was kickstarted very early in my life when all the adults around me suddenly became warmongering creatures about Iraq and Afghanistan
