You probably weren't born yet or very young, but a good deal of people fought very hard against the Iraq and Afghani wars. It's not like nobody didn't see through those flimsy excuses for war.

People wanted revenge for 9/11 though, didn't really matter who.

There was real opposition, we just lost the fight. People are stupid.

It was 'real' only in the sense that the president was a Republican. I was there too. The antiwar movement shrunk from hundreds of thousands to dozens the day after the 2006 election. For most on the left, opposing the war(s) was a partisan oppo operation.

Not controlled opposition, powerless opposition.

Yep - and yabbit's not provided any examples or other information. There are of course problems at Reddit, but it's also an informative site and cannot be generalized like this. ATM, Reddit is the best aggregate of raw videos from Ukraine.

Haha, good one Socks.

Plenty of fake shit too I hear. I wouldn't know, I can't use Reddit for two days without catching bans. It's fucking ridiculous. Reddit is a broken thing.
