when you put it that way power politics seems really misleading it sounds like a specific political strategy anyone could use not a national origin myth would chinese exceptionalism be a reasonable distillation of the phrases intent

It's just the Chinese version of "murrica." Power politics is what someone relying on a dictionary might come up with.

yes, they clearly blundered into a protest, and then were accidentally given press passes for ukrainian "honor" press organization and matching shirts.

also, that guy in the "who killed katya handziuk" shirt is definitely serhii himself, look at the arm tatoos and compare them to his instagram. what's the point in wearing a mask when you cover your body in distinctive tatoos?

+ 2002 mass-kidnapping (of a rival cult)

+ 2012 "doomsday riots" and mass stabbing (extremely normal)

+ 2014 murder in a shandong mcdonald's (extremely brutalist)

+ 2019 israeli election interference (for right-wing parties because why not)

what’s uncomfortable about short shorts?

they’re mobility and less fabric for the filth to try to grab when making a run for it

That tweet is 100% correct though, and also pretty representative of what happened during the Holocaust. The Jewish community knew about the death camps almost immediately. The rumors of the gas spread through the Yiddish-language press very quickly.

And now we have pictures of Uyghurs being rounded up and put on trains to camps where survivors report torture and genocide. Uyghur-language press reports on it. And what do the coolest psychopaths have to say about it?

I mean it's supposed to be a dig against anti-imperialists who don't believe in the manufactured cases for so-called humanitarian intervention, and historically it's worked out that way because the US didn't get involved in WW2 because of the concentration camps, they did so because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the Germans declared war.

By the time you actually start getting to "interventionism", beginning with Korea, whoops, suddenly the reasons for going to war start to look far more flimsy!

How come whenever you want a war the pretense is always holocaust 2 and not a sequel to any of the things a good guy country did
