minus-squareFlyberius [comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·1 year agoEverything about the western response to this is withering. I don’t think I have ever seen such a concerted amount of propaganda in my life. It is absolutely god awful. It makes me want to scream.
minus-squareBlapoolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·1 year agoFollow your heart and use your head. You’re allowed to disagree with “your country’s” response. Also, fact check. A LOT of misinformation and propoganda flowing right now
