which country you from homie? I can find you a massacre you have long forgotten and nobody was punished.
How about you give it it's own post maybe even on the anniversary it happened so you can at least pretend to care about it instead of trying to minimise an atrocity committed by your team.
Buddy here doesn't understand that you can support democracy for the workers without simping for some socialist project. Nor can he comprehend that criticism of political economies leads to a better understanding of things .
The liberal mindset of us vs them, as if there are two teams. Though to be fair this is partially true. It is us, the workers of the world, versus them, those who own and control the world. Solidarity among us who must work to survive is the only way to liberate ourselves from those who seek only power and profit.
Criticise every project, and your own beliefs. Learn from the mistakes you and others have made. And act with compassion.
Or regurgitate western propaganda what do I know.

It's laughable to cry "whataboutism" when discussing international politics. Comparing how countries act in similar situations is one of the foundations of international law.
Libs and your obsession with whataboutism. This one isn't even "whatabout," the point is that the guy in this picture was fine, and in fact the army did everything in their power not to harm him.
In a complete opposite fashion, US drone operators gleefully shot random people and caused unbelievable harm to an entire region.
I proudly defend whataboutism when it's used to exemplify the necessity of some tactic elsewhere or to compare similar cases for better understanding. But this isn't even that
Fine, Tiananmen Square is China's Gwangju uprising.... In terms of casualties
Now, can you go fuck your mother?
Gwangju was less of an uprising and more of a directed anti-communist slaughter. Calling it a massacre is more appropriate.
To this day, Gwangju is looked down upon by the rest of South Korea due to this massacre.
