I'm not sure how this could be remotely considered news that sounds satirical but is actually real.

I'd fully expect Ukraine to step up attacks preceding a large event Putin is throwing.

It's great news, but it doesn't belong here.

This seems like a good thing, but I'm sure he found a way to make it evil.

Except it's really not a move to the left, it's just a slight slowing down of the move to the right. Fascism is currently gaining footholds in much of the western world.

So, while the handful of left victories are great, it's super dangerous to frame them as a reversal of fascism.

Right, supposedly good things like making all research they perform freely available, providing billions in grants for healthcare and agricultural development, providing billions in funding to organizations like the WHO, etc.

No.

If you support harming others who have done nothing other than exist, you can't blame brainwashing. You're not a good person, full stop.

The truth is that a large portion of humans are stupid, selfish, hateful, pieces of shit. It's why brainwashing works on them; it's just directing them, not actually changing them.

Right, fuck people for trying to do good if they've ever done bad things in their past.

The terrorist attack wasn't perpetrated by the Palestinian state. That's like saying that all Americans agree with the Proud Boys because they happened to be US citizens.

I mean, bill Gates has done a ton of really good things with his wealth.
