~28,000 Gaza children murdered in 2 years by Israeli gov. About 68,000 people are officially confirmed killed. 70% of all casualties are women and children. "Western liberal democracies", especially the US gov, are up to their necks in blood, as usual. Microsoft is no different, its only concern is to avoid legal trouble and uphold the facade of legal obligation, otherwise business as usual with Israeli gov. In any category of violence, the US gov, is the undisputed record holder since WW2 - wars of aggression started, proxy wars started, democracies overthrown, dictatorships established, terrorist groups created, funded and armed, resources plundered, economies impoverished, tens of millions of civilians displaced, maimed and murdered. US citizens have a duty to learn about the actual history of their country, and the elite uni-party mafia criminals in charge of it, not just what is shown to them on CNN, FOX, NYT, WSJ, etc. Read books by Michael Parenti, like, Face of Imperialism, as a starting point.

- ch4s3 5mo ago> You can add Noam Chomsky That's because Chomsky is a genocide denialist, he especially and famously called victims of the Khmer Rouge liars.
- culi 5mo agoChomsky's had his fair of controversial takes but he never called any victim a liar
- ch4s3 5mo agoLucky you, since I know you love links, here’s the rat-bag’s own site[1]. > Specifically, refugees questioned by Westerners or Thais have a vested interest in reporting atrocities on the part of Cambodian revolutionaries, an obvious fact that no serious reporter will fail to take into account. There are several other quotes where he implies refugees are lying. And if you’re good at digging through library archives there’s a recording of him saying it more directly in an interview some time around 1977. Chomsky’s a huge piece of shit and carried water for the Khmer Rouge. [1] https://chomsky.info/19770625/ https://chomsky.info/19770625/
- culi 5mo agothe sentence immediately preceding: > While these reports must be considered seriously, care and caution are necessary. Thanks for proving my point.
- ch4s3 5mo agoThis is throat clearing. He very specifically says the refugees are telling the Thai and US interviewers what they want to hear (e.g. lying). He says elsewhere in the article that reports of local party leaders executing people displaced from cities are unfounded. He bends over backwards in several places to discount refugee accounts. > While these reports must be considered seriously, care and caution are necessary. I'd also point out that when the killing fields were discovered, he refused to acknowledge that the early reports from refugees were correct. So he never took them seriously. Why carry water for this piece of shit? He also denied that Serbs were carrying out massacres in the Balkans. His whole thing has always been covering for the crimes of any anti-Western scumbag.
- thin_carapace 5mo agothats a paradoxical opinion. somebody did something bad therefore their opinion isnt worth discussing. you stated your opinion, therefore you believe its worth discussing. ever do anything bad before? for what its worth i could spend a few thousand words discussing why this man is evil for supporting genocide, and i could also spend a few thousand words discussing why this man is good for protesting against wanton war. these are both true simultaneously.
