Western media run blatant atrocity propaganda for the Ukrainian government. The Ukrainian government is quickly learning that it can say literally anything about what’s happening on the ground there and get it uncritically reported as an actual news story by the mainstream western press.

Boo hoo

Way to back up the military-industrial complex! Yeah! Let's not doubt their pro-war propaganda!

Strange how Caitlin Johnstone and other anti-imperialists get posted so much on here, but whenever it comes to China, certain users resort back to disinformation sites inserted by the government.

Yet, when you check out articles by Caitlin and several other truthers on China, they talk about the massive bullshit being spread by the government. Posters in here seem to be defending Russia, but spreading anti-China fear mongering.

Which makes it seem like you guys are right-wing astroturfs.

The right-wing are only defending Russia because they want to use tax payer dollars to attack China, which is a much bigger and more dangerous opponent.

Chipit is an astroturf, but your broad characterization is unfair. I post many of Caitlin's articles because they are good, and she is one of the few journalists that has an ideology anything close to mine. I also posted an article about the Uyghurs, not because I am right-wing or want a war with China, but because China has a long history of history human rights abuses of a similar vein, and I have very little difficulty believing they would do something like this. I don't like the CCP, or Putin, or Zelensky, or NATO, or my own US government and regularly post articles about the corruption of any and all of them.
