      They literally think like this. when the military came on television and asked morales to step down in Bolivia, it was either NYT or wapo that had an article saying “don’t call it a coup”.

      Funny how the definition they use below doesn’t even support this claim.

      coup a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group

        There’s another hilarious term the human rights concern troll NGOs have called authoritarian democracies. It’s applied to any country they don’t contest/allege fraud in the election results but nonetheless don’t like the ruling party 🤡

    “Keep Thinking” - in this ukronazi’s case, “start thinking” might be useful advice, as he’s clearly not right now.

      These people are incredibly smug because their views are currently mainstream. That’s not going to be the case for too much longer however, and they’re going to have a really hard time adjusting to that reality.

        Unfortunately, I think most of the libs will just go along with whatever the mainstream view becomes, regardless of contradictions. Not like they really care about any of this anyway.

            Exactly, we can at best count for some confusion when the US media machine realigns itself to the new thing and then they will get back to being smug again, like everything didn’t happened.

    There is literally a phone call recording of Victoria Nuland picking the next PM (who does become the PM) but debatebros are like “umm actually sweaty euromaidan was not a coup because it lasted three months which is in direct contradiction of the merriam-webster definition of the word ‘coup’ where it is described as ‘sudden’”.

      Despite using words incredibly “liberally” these folks will suddenly care a whole lot about very strict dictionary definitions when it suits them.

    Personally, I have no idea what aid program he’s referring to. But that’s not the point.

    Maybe you’ll need to do some reading, maybe you’re just not interested.

    This new brooklynman even admits to having no clue about anything. Twice.

    Fucking lol, also by their standards they are distracting from the Israeli issue by pointing to Ukraine.

    I accidentally clicked lemmy.ml instead of lemmygrad.ml in my bookmarks today – what a horror show… i hadn’t actually visited it in the past couple weeks but it seems to show no signs of slowing its crazy descent into a reddit clone

      Yeah, the quality of discussion went down significantly after all the redditors discovered lemmy. One saving grace is that at least all the large communities were created prior to the migration and moderation is solid.
