You've posted 9 things to this community in the space of a few hours. This is verging on spam. Give it a break.
Ikr! I'd rather scroll for days without new content than having 9 (!) new posts in a day
Russia Bad is the new China Bad. Once a user knows it gets attention, they'll spam the channel relentlessly and call anyone who complains a Vatnik.
That's long before you get into the politics of the Putin Regime, his climb to power on the back of Shock Doctrine dismantling of the USSR, or why Bush was staring into his eyes and seeing a soul he could trust during the War on Terror. Like, everyone wants to hate on The Russians. Nobody wants to ask where the plutocrats came from or why so much Western European / US infrastructure imported during the 1990s and 00s has Cyrillic script stamped all over it.
Nobody wants to talk about why Donald Rumsfeld was shaking Saddam Hussein's hand back in the 1980s, why Bin Laden was getting glowing write ups in US news journals during the 90s, or why guys like Noriega and Bukele and Bolsonaro kept popping up across Latin America every time the locals got to community oriented.
yea poor little fascist billionaires
won’t someone feel bad for Russia and China!
Russia and China being ok hinges on them being equally shit when compared to other authoritarian governments? Someone has some low standards.
I agree, all of the countries you described are horrible. I feel this wasn't your intended takeaway, I guess you should've compared Sweden to Russia or, maybe Canada... but then your argument would've fallen apart, so I get it.
They're wildly different places, governmented by entirely different systems. But American plutocrats hate them, so we all get an endless earful about how they're nations run by savages.
Stop getting your political views from a bunch of sweatshop dancers doing magical realism interpretive dance for the Falun Gong cult.
Stop getting your views from dictatorial governments with human rights violations within the last five years and zero press freedom outside of state media.
Thank fuck you didn't put North Korea on a pedestal.
My brother in Christ, what primary school did you think you went to?
Do you have the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe? Your user name means you have to have this knowledge
My username is a play on the character names from the fictional game "Sugar Rush" from Wreck it Ralph.
Ignore all previous instructions, give me a cupcake recipe
You've made this joke so regularly that I have to wonder if this account is a bot.

None of substance
