I read an article in the Seattle Times about the Niger coup a few days ago. Talks about how they're hostile to France (ostensibly presented as a bad thing, no mention of French misadventures in West Africa) and pro Russia (scary! bad!)

Some talk about how it will affect the fight against islamic insurgents as well with the absence of French troops, they talked about how attacks from insurgents increased after the coups in Mali and Burkina Faso but in typical western journalism fashion left the reader to draw their own conclusions on that

i prefer not to waste my time on speculation from biased sources.

fair question, but I’m sorry that I may disappoint you in saying that I doubt any news source is (or even could be) completely unbiased. major newswire sources do try by only reporting raw facts, but even they let bias slip in when editors choose which facts to report.

So what you're saying, Brooklyn Man, and expect me to believe, is that you have no beliefs and dont listen to anyone. what a moron

Dude let me in! Im just here to ”start a discussion”!

I'm confused why the Commonwealth, African union, and Arab league get their own colors

A lot of the "human rights abuses" you hear about in US enemy countries are either blown completely out of proportion, fabricated entirely, or caused by the US directly via sanctions, etc. When it actually happens it's extremely regrettable, of course, but you can't believe everything you read on the internet. The US is very good at lying, as I hope you know by now

Hexbear is good, they seem to be convinced theres a difference between like twitter fake anarchists who dont support AES and take weird lib anti-bedtime positions and "real" anarchists who support AES and read theory.

I'm not sure why you'd call yourself an anarchist if you support AES since that seems like it would fundamentally contradict what you're supposed to believe in, but hey they dont seem to have any problems with anarchists being anti-China or anything over there so who am I to judge

Its amusing to go from Hexbear where there was a discussion about how its rude to "wrecker-jacket" i.e. accuse people of being wreckers because it encourages bad-faith discussion when a post is genuine, to here where we have a fun game called "spot the alt account"

Not including After the End on here...tsk tsk

I know we're all joking about the US but can we talk about how alarming it is that the concept of an "uncivilized human" has just rocketed back out into the open? That people are just brazenly admitting to thinking like this?

I think calling it a lost cause is way too pessimistic but its going to take a LOT more work than it will in other countries
