    lol I just ate a ban too for pointing out an uncomfortable truth. PTB for sure. They’re equating George Floyd’s murder with state sanctioned public beheadings…

    Derek Chauvin is in jail for second degree murder. The officers that assisted him were also convicted of accessories to manslaughter. I’m also not going to bat for the police in the US because they by and large suck.

    Crazy how two things can be a problem at the same time, I know!

      Yours was the most innocuous lmao. Points out date “Believe it or not, straight to jail”.

        Yeah I did that on purpose; wanted to see if even stating a neutral fact was enough to get put in timeout.

      Note that the only reason the occupation force officer is in prison… USian pedon chimped the fuck out to the point where first Lady Trump had to hide in the bunker and call in Elite airborne units from North Carolina to defend the white house

        I think I agree with your point that the only reason justice was administered was the massive public outcry, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a bullshit comparison, imo.

          It is not a strong comparison but it has some merit from the perspective that US regime does sanction this behavior from the police but we pretend like they don’t and these are just one off events… That’s happen regularly

          Saudi apologist is using it in bad faith though.

          This a tactic similar to tankies… They ain’t wrong about the criticism of western world but they would never accept the same reasoning to be used against Russia USSR or China

          Their entire argument hinges on westoid spazzing out and if that does not happen, they just spam their pre cut copy pasters

          Fedi shit posters being of higher quality enabled fedi community to isolate the tankie ideology while permitting some semblance of coexistence

          I think I went on the tangent here…
