Corporate media are owned by the oligarchs for whom fascism serves. Fascism is a false revolution that keeps the capitalist class in power.
Michael Parenti, Backshirts and Reds:
Divested of its ideological and organizational paraphernalia, fascism is nothing more than a final solution to the class struggle, the totalistic submergence and exploitation of democratic forces for the benefit and profit of higher financial circles.
Yeah… I don’t think you’re the expert on China censorship you present yourself as.
I think you just regurgitated every piece of Cold War propaganda & every rumor about Chinese censorship that you’ve ever heard.
This is the crux of it. People are so used to getting away with “bravely” parroting Western Cold War propaganda that even the mildest push-back is experienced as a massive affront.
Okay Judge Judy 👍
Given that a few hundred people died, I think it’s safe to assume that government agents must have killed at least some nonviolent protesters, yes. I don’t know anyone who’d dispute that.
Quite a few of the people killed were unarmed military & police, which means that at least some of the “peaceful” protesters were not as peaceful as Western media portray them.
People did get killed, but no one died in the Square, and calling it a “massacre” is a stretch. Here are some NSFW/NFSL images and here is a video what actually went on with tank man (who blocked tanks from leaving the square, not entering it).
Or Trump keeps extending it or the newly formed Congress rolls back the law or the corrupt Supreme Court changes its mind or or or.
They entire US government is a game of oligarchic Calvinball.
Yes. I think your perspective is through Hollywood-tinted glasses. When was the last time something like that happened in real life and actually had devastating effects on the ruling class?
No way they’d risk him getting up on the stand
Defendants don’t get up on the stand if they want any chance of a not guilt verdict.
and even less likely they’d want to try their luck getting twelve people to convict.
It’s not so unlikely. It ought to be, but it isn’t.
Maybe it’s antisemitic to say the US is aiding and abetting a genocide 🤷
In any case, posting a screenshot of a removed comment in the exact same comment thread only tends to piss mods off.
Oh no, not VoA, RFE, and RFA! Where am I going to get my US imperialist talking points from now, CNN?
No mention of the decades anti-Communist propaganda, huh? Pepperidge Farm remembers when Mother Jones was actually leftist.
