Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

Got it. Everything is the west's fault. Very nuanced.

Not everything, but as things stand, most things yeah. It's what happens when you concentrate power for 100 years in one or two capitalist nations.

To you, "nuance" simply means "other nations must be even worse, look, I saw it on my western disinformation"

You're the one who keeps dick measuring countries. I call out specific bad actions, regardless of who commits them.

It's okay though, the west made you post that message.

I'm not "dick measuring" countries, you just systematically perform western-biased analysis of what are good and what are bad actions. For instance, you'd criticise the Chinese internet firewall or the Russian support to Assad, when the realistic alternatives are measurably worse. It seems that "lesser evil" to you guys is something that only applies to western genocidal maniacs and not to actually significantly different nations.

I wasn't thinking about the Chinese internet firewall at the moment, but you bring up a good point - that's a bad thing. What's the alternative, internet freedom where china can't police the media and public discourse?

Sucks how the west makes china censor it's citizens.

The alternative is "free speech" dominated by western tech oligarchs in platforms subjected to intelligence monitoring and constant western interference. It's exactly these things leading to murderers like Bolsonaro and Milei being elected.

Source check on the bolsonaro and milei murder convictions?

Francisco Franco was a murderer who died of old age, Trump is a murderer who will die of old age, Obama is a murdered who's roaming the streets free, if you judge who's a murderer according to whatever someone with a wig claims, that's your fault not mine.
