  • 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.

    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.








  • ‘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.




  • 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.
