Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You clearly said "some" there. Not "every bastard". That alone is the double standard. How do you fail at such simple logic?

And do you see this sentiment reflected anywhere else on reddit? By the majority of the liberals and "leftists" who cheer on the total war on Russia? No you don't. They are relatively speaking, silent when US attacks Iran. Silent when they coup and plunder Venezuela, and cheered before for economic warfare and pushing puppets like Guaidó or Machado. They are silent when they bomb Yemen. How is there not a double standard? Did you call for killing the US bastards then? No.

And Russia said in 2008 after Bush announced that Ukraine and Georgia were going to join NATO they can't allow that because it's an existential threat. And when the Ukrainian people didn't want they financed the Euromaidan with the help of ultra nationalists. But all of you are again silent on that. It never happened, the US would never do such a thing!

You are an imperialist and a fascist. And that is all there is to it.

The US army is so large and across a lot of places its hard to judge universally. We can go by conflict if you like instead.

Humanitarian aid is a thing. If they are doing that they can live. And we are not on reddit. Or are you a not who got confused which site this is
