Empire is when it's ok to bomb people but "taboo" to talk about it.

Why are you so proud of posting state propaganda from saudi tyrants when this news is available literally everywhere?

There's been an ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine for almost 100 years. The destruction of homes and livelihood has always been a major component. This is nothing new.

After a very quick search, I found CNN saying this:

In just the first four months of 2024, prosecutors launched criminal proceedings against almost 19,000 soldiers who either abandoned their posts or deserted, according to the Ukrainian parliament.

After slightly more searching, we find El Pais saying:

... 81,167 cases registered by public prosecution since 2022. Military personnel consulted by media such as Hromadske or LB claim the figure is at least 100,000; the equivalent of 10% of all personnel currently serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

So 100,000 doesn't seem unreasonable at all. This was a very easy internet search. There's lots of similar information out there. I recommend doing the search yourself and posting the results next time. You're welcome.

Imagine believing that people talk about politics without any agenda.

Now you're being told different from a PR firm in Oregon.

The [Chinese Communist Party] CCP’s sprawling internal security apparatus compels citizens to engage in widespread self-censorship, at a rate nearly three times higher than in Vladamir Putin’s Russia.

This sounds like unbiased science from a totally reliable public relations firm in Oregon. \s

OP is really "mad" at china and russia. That post history lmao.

Whenever I’m on foot in the city I’m twice as nervous about being hit by a cyclist as I am a car.

Then you don't care about your life.

It's amazing that people are still wasting such massive resources on this kind of nonsense while the planet is literally being destroyed.

Wow everybody mad at people making poverty wages instead of the capitalists who haven't raised the minimum wage in decades while radically devaluing the currency. Gross.
