Love how in the first image you show the best part of the Palestinian people (which I do think is very much in the majority), but then in the second image you show the worst part of the Ukrainian people (which are very much in the minority).

The ultimate lib move: exaggerating the villainy of their political opponents (or just straight up lying) and downplaying anything that's inconvenient to their "chivalrous" and "noble" narrative, namely their naked imperialism:

Whoever doesn't obey USA's commands, USA calls a dictator, and then starts a vilifying campaign to justify intervening and getting rid of him/them. The EU always plays along and certainly Ukraine will not be an exception because it's all business to them (Putin included) and war is the most profitable of all businesses.

That's hardly a 'lib move', more like an ingrained human reaction to justify practically every action ever.

Are you saying I am doing that here? The only thing I said was saying that the image is a little bit weird. Or do you think the majority of ukraine are nazi’s?

Are you saying I am doing that here?

To be precise, mostly the latter of my comment applies, yes.

Do you think the majority of ukraine are nazi’s?

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what I think, see the linked posts for details, feel free to challenge any of the sources while providing your own.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t see a source that claims that anywhere near the majority of Ukrainians are nazi’s. Would you mind pointing me to that source?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't see how my comment could be interpreted as claiming "majority". The point is, you're downplaying the rampant Nazi problem and its effects within Ukraine, which is ingrained in many aspects (see the sources) and practically institutionalized. the fact that you want to contest this speaks volume to your character.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay, I don’t see where I downplayed the nazi problem in Ukraine. And I thought you where responding to my claim of ukraine not being majority nazi.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not sure why it's difficult to understand: saying "they're just in the minority" diminishes the actual reality and effects of their allowed existence in the first place, minority or otherwise. So protected they are, that they receive state-funding to be kept alive. Otherwise, what's the point of your comment?

Glad I could clear the confusion though, lib.

The point of my comment, which I thought was pretty clear, was to say the image is a little bit bias by only showing the worst people of Ukraine, but showing the best part of the palastinian people (Where hamas has a ~44% approval rating). Shall we continue putting random sources to prove some kind of point, or?

I don’t know if it’s normal to end your message with the ideology you have grouped your “opponent” into, but if that is the case I choose upper-left of the political compass for you (:

i'm curious, where do you place yourself on that compass? if you've got 20 minutes I highly recommend this video about it.

And the point remains that libs like you like to say stupid shit and downplay the severity of an allowed "minority" group (which by the way, is more than just one group) that committed the bulk of war crimes in the past 3 or so years before and during the invasion, all while enjoying continued state-wide support as they continue to appear as this "minority" moniker, since Western media refuses to shed light into what they've done and what they continue to do: https://www.globalresearch.ca/one-less-traitor-zelensky-oversees-campaign-assassination-kidnapping-torture-political-opposition/5777966

Is Hamas the "worst of Palestine"? That there is according to an old article run by the Empire Press, which states 44% of Palestinians in the West Bank, not 44% of Palestinians. The article also omits the fact that Hamas was the overall favored party, of those who participated in the polls at the time. The source that they're referring to, published in Dec 2nd of 2023, (which they also conveniently omit and one which you are oblivious to) is this, which mentions the following:

In the West Bank, support for Hamas today stands at 44% (compared to 12% three months ago), and for Fatah at 16% (compared to 26% three months ago). In the Gaza Strip, support for Hamas today stands at 42% (compared to 38% three months ago)

When asked which political party or political trend they support, the largest percentage selected Hamas (43%), followed by Fatah (17%), while 12% selected other or third-party groups, and 28% said none of them or did not know.

Vote for Hamas in the Gaza Strip stands today at 52% (compared to 44% three months ago) and for Fateh at 21% (compared to 32% three months ago). In the West Bank, vote for Hamas stands at 50% (compared to 24% three months ago) and Fatah at 18% (compared to 40% three months ago).

It has decreased since then, as a result of undecided voters, no surprise there since there's literally other things to prioritize than to participate in polls or elections during a fucking genocide..

This "intellectual oversight" is beyond disingenuous, disgusting and bad-faith: it's just plain liberal.
