Look at all those chauvinists going extremely mad at mere possibility of being exposed to a plurality of views.

I wanted to ask if we can block rt.com.

And then I saw what instance that community was on.

So... ...feel free to downvote Putin's bootlickers.

The fuck are you on about, kid? Germany is not going to invade Russia, or anyone. The current German (and broader European) rearmament is a direct response to Russian adventurism and expansionism, and is purely aimed at bolstering defensive ability. If you and your Russian buddies don’t like that, maybe try not being so overtly hostile. And stop invading your neighbors.

it would be easier of the germans didn't go back to supporting facism trends like ukraine and isreal.... again.

Israel: yes

Ukraine: that whole narrative came out of Russian propaganda

Ukraine: that whole narrative came out of Russian propaganda

it comes from the american congress who passed a ~~resolution~~ law in ~~2011~~ from 2015 banning the sale of weapons to ukraine because of neo-nazis proclivities.

if you're an american, you can request the document and read it for yourself.

edit: wrong date and part of a law, not a resolution

RT, the Russian state media outlet, is annoyed that after 50 years of Germany responding to open threats with inaction, they've decided to have a military again.

In other news, the sun rose today.

Nazis should never have a military.

digging through the freedom of information act files has made me wonder if the clear biases from state media is less worse than the biases from ostensibly independent media whose biases are just as state aligned as state media, but better hidden from the public (eg new york times, bbc, npr, cnn, le monde, der speigel, etc).

it's easy to dismiss like fox news in this regard because they're just as transparent as sometime like rt; but it's much harder to dismiss npr or the bbc because it looks like they're neutral when, in fact, they both have storied history of regurgitating american and western state narratives.

it seems that pretending to be neutral, but actually disseminating state propaganda is several orders of magnitude more evil to me and a much bigger danger to humanity than something like rt can ever be.

e: accidentally a word

FYI: OP is a huge Russia shill.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

op is doing the same thing that cnn, fox news, new york times, npr, bbc, le monde, der speigel, etc. is doing but on a MUCH smaller scale
