Western enlightenment for ya I guess.
At the very end of the article...
Emails also showed that Meta would allow praise of the right-wing Azov battalion, which is normally prohibited, in a change first reported by The Intercept.
Meta spokesman Joe Osborne previously said the company was "for the time being, making a narrow exception for praise of the Azov Regiment strictly in the context of defending Ukraine, or in their role as part of the Ukraine National Guard."
"Bro they're not really nazis, just because the founders/leaders are nazis, they do nazi things, their volunteers are from avowed fascist organizations in their homecountry (just one strange coincidence that members of atomwaffen, nordic resistance movement and various other groups volunteer for them - strange!), they have nazi tattoos, read nazi literature doesn't mean anything they just really love ukraine in fact the swastika predates hitler by thousands of years and ....."
They're actually based freedom fighters for Ukraine!
in fact the swastika predates hitler by thousands of years
And the black sun in their logo is just because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh support ukraine
"And that guy just yelled sieg heil!" Uh no he misspoke don't worry about it.
Lmfao there's literally a news article where they interview some guy in Azov who says most of the members aren't nazis, but then when the interviewer asks him for his personal political views he says "national socialist".
You think he meant it in an "everyone here is a fucking liberal" kind of way?
Like, "Facists? These guys? Last week I was trying to get to together a carful of guys to bash some removed heads in in Kiev and they could not get their shit together. They were all like, Kiev, man that's so far can't we just do Mariupol instead, oh sorry I'm babysitting that night, I could do thursday tho, ahhh I wish you'd told me earlier my good jacket with all the patches is at the drycleaners and it won't be back until next week. Soyboy fucking liberal removeds the lot of them."
Presumably one can also condemn the Russian invasion, while celebrating violence against neo-nazis/banderites
Guess it doesn’t work as analogy... always good to celebrate the latter, no need to ever ban
I saw the mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone.

The Deserter: "May the 13th, '08, 44 years ago," he looks north. "The horizon was black with Coalition airships. Their petroleum rose to the sky and it looked like... like it formed the clouds. Storm clouds. When they started shelling it was... dark magic. The combined might of international capital, all at once - all the greed and terror in the world - tore in Revachol. It lifted streets from the ground and turned houses into ghosts."
...
The Deserter: He opens his eyes and stares right through you. "It was real. I'd seen it. I'd seen it in reality."
Half-Light: Some kind of great terror. Worse than what you've seen.
You: "Seen what?"
The Deserter: "The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world," he's silent for a second. "You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know."
You: "What?"
The Deserter: "That the bourgeois are not human."
Such a beautiful masterpiece that game.
A pinnacle of games as a potential to be meaningful works of art.
Perfectly said, it's exactly this lol. At first I was kinda shocked but it didn't take long to piece it together
Holy shit the west is diving directly into a dark age...
Each day that passes, I'm a little bit more Vietnamese, a little bit more Chinese, a little bit more Russian, a little bit more Cuban, a little bit more Venezuelan, a little bit more Nicaraguan, a little bit more North Korean, a little bit more Iranian... this is insane.
I'm a little bit of everything. All rolled into one [Chorus] I'm a bitch, I'm a lover. I'm a child, I'm a mother. I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I'm a :marx-joker:
I'm a :che-cigar:
I'm a midnight :stalin-smokin:

I see this posted on the same day that I hear that :melon-musk: was asking his Grimes plaything whether she was real or a figment of his memory made to be his companion. :kombucha-disgust:
I skimmed the article but I didn't see what you're talking about
That's fine, the original :melon-musk: doesn't understand it either, outside of name-dropping it like a Family Guy script.
We're all living in a simulation except actually not that at all, it's just you in the simulation
Domino meme.
Small domino: "FBI Agent Suspected In Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide"
Large domino: Facebook will allow posts calling for violence against Russians, calls for Putin's deathWho'd have known "fake news" would get here this fast.
:kulinski-pog:
Also, reminder that Hillary used “fake news” in a speech before Trump did and that speech was aired on Fox that night during prime time, which Trump always watched
Yeah Fake News was a Liberal phrase before it got coopted by the chuds. It wasn’t hard to turnaround on them since American mainstream news is completely fake dogshit
Wasn't it a Nazi phrase before a liberal phrase? Lungenpresse?
Indeed, that was exactly my point.
I call "fake news" not to the intentional massive dissemination of false or slanted narratives by itself, because that latter phenomenon is old as history and not novel enough to warrant a new term. "Fake news" to me is actually the opposite: the only thing that's new in "fake news" is that, thanks to the Internet, most people now have access to non-curated narratives; people can now form their own truth and therefore evaluate official narratives as "fake". It's like masses of people are spontaneously discovering media literacy on their own. I have hope in this, even though right now this massive distrust is not congealing in actual critical reading.
The… let's call it revolutionary response to this would be to bridge the gap in education that prevents the masses from reading critically. The reactionary response however to this was the institution of the "fact checker". The fact checker was never going to work because they attempt to derive legitimacy from credentials, in an environment in which precisely credentialed sources are perceived as "fake".
The fact checker is a contradictory, reactionary attempt to preserve the old truth, but the old truth is sometimes explicitly "fake" so the fact checker was always bound to be sometimes explicitly fake.
Liberals call Leftists accelerationists then sanction the country which exports 25% of the world's wheat.
I saw a comment on a Russian video that was translated with the YT translate and it said: "now we can see how the Westerners really are! And I wonder why anyone ever called them civilized..."
I don't remember the context but it was in general referring to this whole Ukraine mess and the Wests reaction
Even barbarism would be a kind of civilization. I don't know what to call the corporate void at the center of this nation.
Saw people on twitter say this was 'known kremlin propaganda' so take that as you will
:frothingfash: REUTERS IS COMMIE PROPAGANDA
:maybe-later-kiddo: REUTERS IS RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA
Fuck Reuters, but because they act as a mouthpiece of the State Department you fucking bozos. There's a reason you can't find anything about Yemen on the front page, and the top 2 stories found searching for it are "Women found in Yemen" and "Drone attack in Saudi capital did not affect supplies"
Complicit in literal genocide while bending over backwards to cozy up to fascist loons
I'm shocked too but in turbulent times like these it's important to stand vigilant against 'disinformatsiya'
Remember when Facebook enabled a genocide in Myanmar?
Wishing for the Russian soldier Schmoe Schmiden a very death
Oh yes, when the Russian people see that the west is now openly advocating for their murder and the assassination of their president as the western sanctions destroy their lives that will really make them hate Russia.
the right-wing Azov battalion
so... uh, right wing, sort of like a normal republican then?
