    Sorry for the poor quality of that response. But I did not have much time at the time, and it’s hard for me to write in English (it’s not my native language). I thought it was important to point out that in your post, well argued in general, you had introduced a statement without arguments that I don’t think fits reality.[1].

    Although this may be a licence to give more force to an argument, I find it especially alarming when this is aligned with the construction of a narrative to promote American imperialism —Yankee anti-imperialism as my subjective position— with an argument with a clearly racist bias —for example: removing the whiteness and Europeaness of ethnic Russians, inciting hatred of Asians, especially those of Han ethnicity and those of Chinese origin—. All of this promotes the fascist drift of the USA and its Western allies.

    In any case, and to clarify, I am not accusing you of doing so intentionally, but rather that these types of statements, which seem to me to be at the level of QAnon or flat-earthers, strengthen this fascist drift. BTW, I would have upvoted it without that phrase.

    1. Elon Musk lives in the USA, is a member of the US government, has not disagreed (or I am not aware of it) with the tariffs on China or Russia, most of his businesses are based in the USA, he has used the Skyline satellites concurrently with the geostrategic interests of the USA —at least in Ukraine and Iran—,… He could be a detestable human being and an opportunist politician, but their interests seem aligned with the new techno-aristocrat group of the states-unitians oligarchy-only party, now controlled by their Republican faction. ↩︎

    Call somebody tankie is against the comunity rules:

    RULES:

    1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

    2 No Trolling

    3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

    4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or ‘wasted votes on 3rd party’ is lessor evil rhetoric.

    Obviously, the Russian Army is who has the info about the Russian casualties, and the Ukrainian Army has the information about the Ukrainian casualties. And both are not credible sources.

    I don’t say that the articles using their publicized numbers of the casualties of the other country should be banned. Only those articles, without context about the numbers or the war, have no journalistic value.

    Almost all the citations use quotation marks except this one:

    The Palestinian health ministry says at least 36 Palestinians were killed - 21 from Jenin governorate - in that time. Most of the dead have been claimed by armed groups as members, but the ministry says children are also among those killed.

    The bolded text (normal text in the article) seems to be genocidal misinformation/propagana. I don’t belive that the PA (or Hamas) health ministry said that phrase.

    To compensate the exces of quotes to the IOF, this is the statement of the PFLP:

    🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
    —
    The martyrdom of Turkish-American activist Aisha Ezgi is a continuation of a long series of occupation targeting all free voices.

    - The martyrdom of the Turkish-American activist, Aisha Noor Ezgi, after being shot in the head by occupation forces near Mount Sbeih in the town of Beita, south of occupied Nablus, is yet another Zionist crime added to the occupation’s black record of targeting foreign activists in solidarity with our people.

    - This crime brings to mind a long series of crimes committed by the occupation against international solidarity activists, from the assassination of American activist Rachel Corrie and British activist Tom Hurndall in Rafah, to the attack on the “Mavi Marmara” ship breaking the siege, which led to the martyrdom of ten activists, among other continuous attacks and practices against those in solidarity.

    - The occupation continues to target anyone who stands for justice and defends our people, further proving that this entity poses a threat to all of humanity and every free voice striving for justice, not just to the Palestinian people.

    - The Front calls on all the free people of the world to unite efforts to confront this zionist, U.S.- and Western-backed usurper entity, and to work on documenting these crimes as war crimes against humanity, contributing to enhancing international efforts to isolate this rogue and rejected entity, and to prosecute its leaders as war criminals before international courts.
