Russian officials vowed on Wednesday that Ukraine won't be able to shut down Russian airspace after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky threatened a major escalation of drone attacks on Russian territory and said Russia's skies would no longer be safe for civilian aircraft. Ukraine's drones have
It says plenty about western propaganda and how libs refuse to even consider that the same people who lied about Cuba, Vietnam, Peru, Palestine, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, South Africa, Bahrain, Yemen, slavery, Thanksgiving, Columbus, Argentina, Hawaii, Philippines is certainly telling the truth about Russia and China.
If you have to silence people who disagree with you to make your point, your point is weak. Its not more complicated then that. And this very very very particular form of editorial moderation, is for all practical purposes only enlisted in defense of one particular nation.
If the defense was convincing, you’d never need to silence it’s critics. Why would you ever do that? You’d be silly. Why would you hide your arguments if they are so strong.
But we all know the truth. They aren’t strong arguments. Heck, by and large, they aren’t really even arguments. Its masking a legitimate critic of one bad actor with criticism of another bad actor. They’re independent things. Two things can be true. Two nations can be doing bad things.
Its what MAGA does to dissent in their spaces. Its what liberals do in theirs. No differences. Same goals at the end of the day, to be the hedgemon.
If you think you’ve got some strong arguments, argue against censorship so the discussions can be had. There really are no excuses for this kind of petty tyranny of the moderator at this point.
The same reason we censor bigotry. No matter how many convincing arguments are made against it, people will still let their bias favour the bigot. There’s a reason platforming bigots and fascists is a negative thing. This also applies to anti-science too like anti-vax and anti covid-protection. And this certainly applies to chauvinistic and imperialist talking points that you are defending.
We’re years into this. No one takes this kind of terminally online shit seriously: because it only exists to serve one particular nation.
Its entirely inconsistent and always has been. And no amount of brigading, editorial moderation, or any thing else will change that.
Its something you’ve ended up on the wrong side of, and everyone with eyes can see that. It doesn’t matter what it sounds like in the ever smaller echo chamber.
If you really believed you were right, you wouldn’t need to hide behind the same veil that liberals and fascists excuse their actions with.
