oh look, the tankies are pretending that a regime that executed protestors and disappeared doctors that treated them in hospital deserved to stay put and anyone claiming otherwise is a victim of propaganda

istg every time i log into lemmy the time before i get forcibly reminded why i stopped doing that gets shorter

I can’t do much except hope your government gets better. Best of luck fighting off all those “”“protecting the children”“” laws, but if you can’t (and let’s face it, who can control their government?), I’ll have a big stack of VPNs and torrent sites waiting for you if you need them.

(In victory I am merciful. Remember this, dear Briton, the next time you feel inclined to point and laugh at America for having a fascist government.)

Well sure, Republicans are currently actively trying to strip away trans rights, build a military with the authorization to operate within our borders, black bag people in the streets without charging them with a crime because they don’t like what they have to say, and deploying the goddamn Armed Forces against their own citizens when they have the audacity to peacefully protest about it, and Democrats are voting party line against every single one of those, but they aren’t saying no louder than that, so they’re the same.

No one is better at mental gymnastics than leftists, I swear to god.
