~~U.S.~~ Every Military that has ever existed.
There fixed it for ya.
You’re that guy who shouts “All Lives Matter!” when talking about police brutality.
Surprised not many people bring this up. There's so much in common between "Fuck America AND China!" and "All Lives Matter" style rhetoric. Needs to be said, cuz it's a common diversion method
Nah. The US does this for its economic growth, stealing the resources of foreign countries in order to maintain its dominance. China has never done anything like that, growing to its competitive position in the world without a single war in the last 50 years.
Doing "all militaries bad" shit is just a method of being a nationalist and defending america by dismissing everyone as equally bad, when everyone is certainly NOT equally bad in this regard.
Tibet
...is free
Here are Tibetan serfs burning the leases that legally bound them to their lords' estatesHere is the PLA training a women's militia, so they can go shoot to death the landlords and theocrats who have enslaved them for a thousand years (look at that smile!)
Here is the CIA's opinion on the matter (note, China was still controlled by the nationalists so that's what 'pro-China' means, the Mongolian People's Republic were the closest communists)
I'll just
leave these here
Tibet has High Speed Rail, do you?
nah, Tibet is a fuck, kill all slave owners, John brown did nothing wrong, 39283774829 dead confederates
was a theocracy, and now slavery has been eliminated by the liberatory PLA <- You dropped this part of the sentence
I would love to liberate Tibet, but Mao already did it
Oh crazy. When was the last time China's army bombed someone?
This is very ignorant of history and modern times. There have been militaries throughout human history that are formed and used for good purpose.
As it currently stands, almost any military that is NOT doing good for the last 70 years is either the U.S. military or one of their delegated proxy forces.
If you wanted to say every EMPIRE that ever existed destroyed innocent lives, then yes, you would be correct, but the only empire that has existed in the last 70 years is the U.S. Empire.
Wouldn't France be considered an empire?
It's subservient to the US. Like provinces were to Ancient Rome. More complicated and technical, perhaps. But it's all one empire.
Everything you said is wrong.
How so?
very compelling and insightful argument
So, armies that arose to defensively stop, say, the Nazis, they were just as bad as the Nazis then?
What is an army or empire that has done wicked things in the last 70 years that is not the US or a US proxy?
False equivalency that doesn't make the atrocities any more acceptable.
I'm not wrong tho.
Yeah you are lmao, like objectively
Centrists/"Apoliticals" when they encounter a political meme/statement criticizing one group:
