Missile tests is usually not what someone means by ‘dropping bombs’. Every large military does missile tests. They’re harmful for the environment, can be used as a threat based on the location, but are very different from bombing actual people or important infrastructure.

The US is the largest cause of instability in literally every region in the world. Just because you’re afraid of another country taking over the role of destabilising other countries does not mean you should defend the US doing it. It’s the same excuse Israeli’s use to genocide the Palestinians ‘because otherwise the Palestinians will genocide us back’. It’s a standpoint that’s based purely on racism, not on facts.
China testing missiles is really not comparable to the US bombing the Middle East dozens times a day.
How many people do you think China has killed vs the US? Because I’m pretty sure the US wins by that metric (as in the US killed more people).
Also it’s pretty ironic to comment on Chinese hegemony when USians literally learn in school that they’re the center of civilisation and the heroes in every war. Even in Europe we now have to learn that the US was our grand liberator from the nazis while it was actually the Russians who liberated most of Europe.
Quite an interesting comment from someone defending US imperialism. Please tell us why we should fear China more than the US.
China existing does not excuse any US crimes, and that’s what my comment was about after all.
Don’t you guys call this ‘whataboutism’? Anyways, I’m less concerned with China than the US since China hasn’t dropped a single bomb in decades while the US drops dozens a day in the middle east.
How did you know her? I knew her as terrorisor of the middle east and I’m pretty sure that’s still true.

113·2 years agoI feel like it’s just that the fact that the democrats were sabotaging their own chances of winning to support a genocide does not align with some peoples view that the democrats are the ‘good guys’.
‘Man’ isn’t ‘designated’ to anything. We just exist and are sentient and able to think about what we would like our lives to look like. Most people would like to live a life beyond working 40 hours a week on a job they don’t enjoy and where they have no say in anything. We have enough resources to make sure everyone has a home and food and can live a fulfilling life, if only those resources were divided in a fair way.
This is completely missing the point that many artists have already lost their jobs because companies are increasingly using AI for their graphic designs.
I don’t know about AP specifically, but it’s a good question.
Sometimes because the paper is financed/owned by some party that profits off of the colonial & genocidal project, sometimes because the paper gets scoops from 3 letter agencies who make such requests in return for scoops, sometimes it’s racism that the writer might not even aware of, but most often it’s a combination of those.
Media uses that tactic often, where they always platform the statements by Israel (that are very frequently lies that aren’t challenged at all even though it would be very easy to) but much less frequently from Palestinian sources. This makes it really easy for Israel to spread its narrative while Palestinians remain unheard and misunderstood.
Laws aren’t static, but the law also isn’t the only way to justice. In this case it clearly isn’t.
Disgusting, these media titans should be held accountable for manufacturing consent on genocide.
China’s top 1% income share is lower than US and Russia. Top 10% income share is also lower in China.
