Prior to the conflict, I wasn’t a fan of liberals. But at least they were better than conservatives because they didn’t want to glass the Middle East, protested against the Iraq war, made fun of right wing bullshit on Fox News, and didn’t want to gun down Muslims or Hispanics. Or so I thought.
Liberals have gone full :frothingfash: and are literally regurgitating 1930s Nazi talking points about the Slavs. As I Russian speaker, I stopped going on most subreddits now due to the obscene racism. I’ve seen shit ranging from “Aktually, Ruzzians are not white or European” to “Lets break Russia up and commit mass ethnic cleansing”. It’s not even just Russians, I’ve seen a massive surge in racist posts about Chinese and Indian people since the war started.
Liberals are literally swallowing the most inane nonsense from Ukraine like “Russian orcs shocked at seeing toilets for the first time”. And lets not forget the “Russian brainpan too smol to launch nukes so lets nuke them ourselves” posts all over :reddit-logo:
Anyone who even remotely suggests that we shouldn’t arm and send 16 year old Ukrainians to be blown up in human wave attacks is called a Kremlin agent.
Amazingly, many right-wingers like Peterson or Candace Owens have better takes on the situation than liberals do. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Cindy Sheehan, grieving mother of a son killed in Iraq, demanded that the US military not only pull out of Iraq but out of New Orleans as well, calling it “occupied New Orleans.” She has chased the headlines to the Algiers section of New Orleans to regain her place in the spotlights. Cindy writes of her experience:
“One thing that truly troubled me about my visit to Louisiana was the level of the military presence there. I imagined before that if the military had to be used in a CONUS (Continental US) operations that they would be there to help the citizens: Clothe them, feed them, shelter them, and protect them. But what I saw was a city that is occupied. I saw soldiers walking around in patrols of 7 with their weapons slung on their backs. I wanted to ask one of them what it would take for one of them to shoot me.”
