Because Russian oligarchs care about people any more than American ones?

How does that negate what I said?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

I'm not sure what your point even was, so I kind of had to guess.

We create our enemies and act surprised when things happen, and buy the official story wholesale, despite watching it play out before our eyes, then pretend we're the victim. Individually and collectively, "left (now slightly right of center right)” and (very far) right, then play victim. I've been guilty, even recently.

Eta: something about who we are allowed to criticize.

Sure, except in this case we spent 20 years trying to make Russia a friend after the cold war.

It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.
