    Hey! You must be new to the internet. Here’s a tip:

    Just because someone says something is debunked - even if that someone had a YouTube channel with a ton of followers - doesn’t mean it’s actually debunked. People do, in fact, just go on the internet and tell lies, and it’s pretty common.

        Oh, that’s not what I’m saying.

        I’m saying you’re spreading nonsense propaganda and are pushing an agenda that effectively enables Russian military adventurism and imperialism/nationalism, and I’m calling you out on it. I was just being a bit oblique about it. But I can be direct, too.

            I am not insinuating that the US is some paragon of virtue and blameless, nor was I trying to.

            I am saying that you’re falling into the same trap you’re trying to say I fell into, only from the other side.

            But from the looks of your second paragraph, you’re just a tankie, so this conversation is clearly not going to go anywhere.

                You’re pushing apologist narratives that are friendly to China (a current and ongoing perpetrator of ethnic cleansing within their own borders), Russia (a historical, current, and ongoing perpetrator of ethnic cleansing and genocide within and outside of its own borders, and the aggressor in the Ukrainian War), and North Korea (a totalitarian pariah state), all because those three nations have a vague historical connection to Marxist-Leninist politics (which, pointedly, they’re very, VERY far removed from these days). That’s what “being a tankie” is.

        Seeing someone imply that older users want their news and information parsed by YouTube personalities is wild. That’s quite an assertion.
