      lmao so true, any time a pig kills someone the front page of reddit is just “NYPD OFFICER SAVES KITTEN FROM A SEWER” and a bunch of other PR bullshit like that. i also find it funny that westerners view these videos and just think “aw how wholesome i love the police” meanwhile a video from china of police partaking in a viral dance comes out and all the comments are “THIS IS PROPAGANDA!!! THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE THEIR POLICE LOOK MORE HUMAN!!! CHINESE AREN’T EVEN HUMAN LET ALONE THEIR POLICE!!!”

      i actually saw a video of someone in an SUV in china going absolutely ham, crashing into a bunch of cars and shit, while an officer was trying to pull them out of their car. all the comments were “in america they would have just shot the driver” but presented as if it’s a good thing. so the chinese cops are both vicious authoritarians and weak pussies who can’t enforce laws.

    Is this because of the video of an IOF soldier chucking a kitten off the top of a building that is going around on Telegram lately?

      i haven’t seen that video personally but probably yes. IOF is always releasing propaganda like this, it’s hard to say what atrocity they’re trying to whitewash at any given time

    burns down your home, kills your family, steals your puppy

    “we save, we help” doggirl-thumbsup

    unlimited horrors on every last soldier of empire

    • I’ve seen a fair amount of Russian troops with kittens/cats. I don’t think it’s propaganda though. It’s a very different type of war with static positions that get fortified. Even the stuff from the soldiers from the ukraine probably has organic elements.

      Soldiers spend time in a place that had/has people and an animal presence. Somebody finds a stray in need of care and brings the new friend to their station after establishing a bond with kindness in situation the animal isn’t equipped to understand and/or food. It’s a tale as old as war.

      Doesn’t even have to be domestic. There’s that famous artillery bear. I also read a book that claimed an officer got fragged in Vietnam because he made a marine give up an orphaned tiger cub he took back to the FOB.

    I have communicated to my people that if I die before my dog, he must be allowed to see my corpse. They mourne and feel abandoned if you just disappear, sometimes for the rest of their lives.

    I know this puppy is probably too young to have bonded to that extent, but I’m not trying to make a reddit-brained observation about this. What I’m thinking is, yeah, cute puppy, but you murdered and/or displaced its family and same for untold numbers of other dogs, many of which will be bonded to people.

    If you have more empathy for dogs than humans, for whatever reason, then even this propaganda should look as fucking miserable as a shellshocked human child cowering under a blanket as the murderers “save” it from their own irreversible atrocities.

    I remain, as always, bitterly disgusted and sad.

    Fuck Israel. Fuck America. Fuck my country. Death to the empire.
