Hasbara doing hasbara, where are you located, Tel Aviv, Haifa?

I‘m not sure that’s covered in French history books but you butchered the living shit out of somewhere between 400,000 and 5.6 million Algerians and that’s just one example. There are millions, if not tens of millions of victims of French colonialism. You’ll say it’s a long time ago but there are enough people alive in France who still remember and miss having colonies. You did that in the name of “civilizing savages”. The Belgium, British and Germans did the same under the guise of “civilizing” them and teaching them Christianity. You’re just spreading right wing narratives here.

There are radical people, fixed that for you. I say radicalism is bad, you made it about Muslims but don’t seem to care how radical the RN is. What you’re basically saying is that because there are radical Muslims (which will be true for any nationality, ethnicity, religion, or political belief) it’s justified to vote for Nazis. Thanks for proving my point.

The French and Islam, tell me a more iconic duo. Radicalism is bad and this in law is obviously pretty radical. However, looking over to France, not even places like Hungary, Poland or Germany are as racist as French people are in every day life. And I picked them because those are particularly racist countries. The evil of French Islamophobia is that it’s sugarcoated with a fake intellectual narrative that tries to justify it instead of being honest about the fact that you just fucking hate them and see them as lesser people that you used to colonize.

Dude that’s not a conspiracy, that’s just capitalism. E.g. NBC is owned by General Electric, one of the largest American defense contractors. So obviously NBC has a conflict of interest if they’re critical of warmongering.

The same goes kind of for every bigger news outlet, if you look at their ownership structures they’re all owned by oligarchs and their main interest is in protecting capital, not being ethical and uphold journalistic standards or criticize how the government acts if it protects the interests of the ultra rich.

The shareholders of public companies are, well, public information and it’s kind of hard to find a large company that’s not partly owned by Blackrock, Vanguard and the likes. Now, if you dig deep enough into their portfolio, e.g. through their emerging markets funds I would not be surprised if they have some shares in Chinese defense companies, unless they’re sanctioned and even then you can probably still invest if you set up some shell company that isn’t sanctioned.

And the government will obviously not go against Blackrock, Vanguard, etc. because they have so much influence on public opinion that the government would be history pretty quickly. Oh yeah, the (most likely) new chancellor of Germany is ex-Blackrock, think he’ll care?

Russia will never destroy our way of life!

/s obviously but all of this warmongering is scary as fuck, and I hate that the ultra rich will just get even richer from this.

It’s lemmy.world, people here are mostly liberals, agreeing with you on anything that goes against the system would make their world collapse. I’m happy downvotes don’t mean shit on Lemmy though, because imo you’re right and it’s pretty fucked up how we‘re all being manipulated into hooraying for more war, more arms, more destruction just to make some oligarchs even richer.

For the record, I have no idea when what German arms company got founded but I think that’s nitpicking compared to the fact that fascists will make profit from our governments buying more weapons from these defense companies.

I have some weird affection for the tankies that I shouldn’t have. They’re objectively horrible people for their views, but I got so used to pissing them off with referring to a certain cartoon animal that I’d kinda miss them. How can I make it stop?

Boy would Iove to see Elon in a k-hole

Yeah he is actually

You’ll like it over there then

They’re tankies and you know it
