@ferret the bar has been set so low that competence looks like genius. The American ruling class are basically burglars in fancy suits

The only question is:
Which mistake was it? There have been SO MANY. I'd guess all of them. That's why he's smiling so widely.

@houba @Natasha_Jay China has been doing a lot of kidnappings and genocide of minority ethnic groups. The Uyghurs since 2014, tons of people in Hong Kong since 2019 …

I do find it hilarious that a country funding and taking part in a genocide dares to claim concern over alleged crimes against humanity supposedly being committed by their enemy.

We call it genocide, tankies call it "projection", "allegations", lies

It is a good quote. The quote is in reference to being embedded in an active war and it illuminates war propaganda.

I think it is worth noting that this does not apply universally. Given freedom from war propaganda many people don't believe this. States wouldn't need the media and propaganda apparatus if this were universal.
