It'd be fine and understandable if we're talking to the average person, but to anyone with some political knowledge, who willingly say things like this... it's less forgivable
Especially when they speak of two or more entities in a conflict, on the same footing... when the power between is asymmetrical
For example: When you say nationalism, do you mean national chauvinism (nationalism at the expense of neighbors; rightist) or national liberation (nationalism to liberate the many, or just an ethnic group; leftst)?
When you say criticism of {insert anti-west, if not socialist nation}'s government is banned in a nation, do you mean constructive criticism or regime change rhetoric?
When you say dictatorship in a world, the dictatorship of fucking what... no man rules alone... is that of the capitalists, the feudal lords, the proletariat? Baby-brained dickhead... you could just think of, idk, some random political movement and that's it
Like Idk... the Schiller institute ruling Belarus or something... then we can pretend you actually have a clue about the damn country
And lastly, but most recently, 'both sides badism'
I swear, this is the last resort pipeline libs go to, when even their western allies are reprehensible as fuck...
For example:
When you say both sides have committed atrocities in Israel-Gaza war, with Israel undoubtedly causing disproportionate series of massacres against Gazans, in their war against guerillas.
Yet you can't apply saying the same courtesy to the Russo-Ukraine War... even though the morality of war between them is more comparable... relatively
Honestly, fuck you...
And don't get me started about how you can just label your enemies Hamas, and that's the end of the argument
Also, fuck western-funded NGOs, may NED's HQ in Washington DC be bombed, Eglin Air Base nuked...
Aww... where's da cat tho?
