      The solution to world problems is to dress like it’s the 1970’s.

    I’m just listening to the Citations Needed podcast, and they talked about how even since the Spanish War Americans have been using women rights to justify their aggression.

    I’ve always suspected that many of these kinds of images were staged or propaganda.

    Every so often you’ll see a meme on Reddit with a bunch of American teenagers being athletic in the 60s. The meme suggests that people were healthy and fit back then, but I happen to know that the footage was for a physical fitness push at the time (gotta do more pushups than the commies) and the athletes were far from typical students.

    Especially absurd to use this propaganda angle when the West is backing Islamic fundamentalists to overthrow a secular state

      The US is actually backing socialists and even communists in Syria. HTS is mostly on its own. The US supports Assad over HTS.

      Edit: Lol, downvote me all you want, doesn’t change that the US chose the socialist YPG/PKK as their ally. Tbf though, their main ideology is ethnic nationalism, socialism for them is nowadays more a tool to fool some naive westerners.

      Edit 2: I am a socialists myself. Still doesn’t change facts.

      Edit 3: Israel juat bombed the rebels. How does fit into your narrative? https://x.com/Doron_Kadosh/status/1864644939583201385

        You can’t be serious. It has been common knowledge for almost a decade now that the US trained and funded all these “rebels”. There is even those emails leaks where the US secretary of state says that “AQ is on our side in Syria”. The US has spent billions funding all these terrorists.

        This is wrong. The US supports HTS through Turkey and through their Al Tanf base in the south of Syria.

          Oh my, two mistakes in one sentence… HTS is not active in the south and Turkey supports the SNA (FSA) which is at times cooperating with HTS, but is at odds with them at the same time. The tentions just flared up today again and let to a lot of bloodshet between SNA and HTS in the last. Turkey did occasionally protect the HTS to a degree against Assads agressions (to prevent Assad from gaining ground), but also tried to get rid of them.

          The US supports neither the SNA, nor HTS, but supports the YPG in the north and a mercenary troop in the south that acts like they were FSA, not HTS.

          You know literally nothing about the conflict. Stop writing about it

    This right here is the actual reason libs hate Trump so much. He doesn’t try to put a fig leaf over the atrocities US commits, he just comes out and says we’re in Syria to take their oil.

      And half the population cheers him on for saying it, the other half are mad that he revealed their “secret” plan.

        Don’t bother, you’re in Opposite Land, where reality is made up and the facts don’t matter!
