Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

'We're the baddies?'
-Nation that has been on the right side of maybe 2 wars during it's entire existence, continued chattel slavery into the mid 1800's, dehumanizes everyone with more melanin than a snowbank to this day...
Even if they were on the right side, its for the wrong reasons. Everyone always cites ww2 as an example, like ameirka wasn't fine standing back and playing both sides.
And also being the only nation to use nuclear weapons against civilians and then obstructing actual justice by dividing korea, vietnam and germany and helping collaborators escape their crimes and back into power.
So its closer to 1.5 wars.
And still to this day teaching everyone the propaganda story of "they deserved it" and/or "it was necessary"
Broken clocks and all that jazz.
Oh...jazz. That makes quite a difference.
Its all about the comments you don't post.
it does require a fascist to come up in power and spell it out for the burgeois newspapers and institutions though.
