Interesting quote:
> If it seems a bit hypocritical to you that the empire is blasting us in the face all day with narratives alleging Russian war crimes while that same empire is imprisoning a journalist for exposing its war crimes [1], that's because it absolutely is hypocritical.

- emteycz 5y agoI found the suggestion that world revolves around the US and its problems much more hypocritical, though. If this person really thinks someone is making up videos and photos of war crimes to hide something happening in the US, they're well beyond crazy paranoid. And the suggestion that nobody should care about these war crimes just because there was/is another crime is super-weird false dichotomy, too. It's not like it's US doing the work there, it's the locals. And it's not like it's all one person who could be hypocritical - it's many people each following their own way.
