    that’s the war they choose to protest

    Since its founding in 2002, Medea Benjamin and CODEPINK has protested against US intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Iran, Gaza, Columbia, and Honduras. Amongst anyone, she has the most receipts.

      it’ll be real funny if Trump starts a war over Taiwan if he wins in 2024 and then the sides reverse and in the megathreads we start taking analysis from liberal-oriented sources who only really oppose the war because it’s the Republicans doing it, versus the conservative sources we used to have to rely on (as there’s been virtually nobody liberal/left-leaning doing regular coverage and analysis) who are now dipshits fully in support of beating China

      Helps that it’s not really widely reported on.

      Like they’ll report stuff without context.

      Like how they’re reporting the stuff happening in Africa. They’ll just say that fighting is happening and dumb racist westerners will just be like “The stupid brown people are blowing each other up again.”

      Of course it did

      They are only close to the truth in the sense in which a christian is almost atheist because he don’t believe in every god except one.

    obviously what matters is who started it, grade school style. Why would anyone be concerned about the ongoing supply of the weapons doing half the killing? clearly what matters here is blame, not human lives. Fucking baby brains
