I look forward to your criticism when ukraine too is forced to resort to ugly war tactics by an invader. then we can talk about differences in our double standards.

meanwhile, while we give your impressions to develop on this new situation in which you see who's the aggressor and who's defending their land, how about we focus on the obvious superpower aggressors?

I did criticize Israel for behaving against Palestine in ways similar to how Russia behaves against Ukraine, yes. I still consider both Israel and Russia the aggressors and invaders in these two scenarios. demanding similar criticism to Hamas for fighting back would amount to demanding criticism to Ukraine for fighting back the invasion, be it in Crimea or Donbass

I have seen plenty of criticism directed at China, Myanmar and Russia. I have not seen calls for sanctions against the US for bombing Somalia again, the same day Russia invaded Ukraine and the US called for and imposed sanctions on Russia.

I find this hypocrisy repugnant, and I'm disappointed you can be so biased and unashamed as to dismiss it as moralistic snobbery, as if it was my fault to find fault in such double standards

"popular uprising" was also how both coups supported by the US in Brazil in the past 60 years were framed. plenty of records released after the facts show how alternative facts proposed by US authorities were adopted by local media and military, in 1964, and also by corrupt politicians and judges associated with US interests in 2007-2016, got coups d'état underway by apparent public demands. I don't know the facts in Ukraine with as much detail as in Brazil and other Latin American countries in which similar scripts were run, but given the time-frame and similarity of processes and outcome, it's seems a long shot to not to fit it in the same pattern

it's not rather than, it's the same thing. why can't the US just allow peoples to choose the economic systems they live in? why must it sabotage anything that deviates from the capitalism that has been imposed, through force and guilt propaganda, on every people that live under it? why can't alternatives have a chance to be tried even once, and show their merit without an empire coming over with guns or corrupting money to replace them? could it be that the rulers in the US know that capitalism actually sucks, and so they must not allow others to attempt alternatives on their own merit, otherwise its own sandcastle will fall apart? or are they just insecure that this might turn out to be the case? regardless, they go all imperialistic to impose their ways on whoever dares steer away from the US-sanctioned path. what's amazing is that you don't seem to perceive that imposition of economic model and social organization as imperialistic. how much propaganda does that take?

looks like you're not very happy with your freedom-respecting newsreader aggregator. it seems to me there's room for improving it indeed. good thing you have the freedom to give that a shot, or to ask others for help in getting it to serve you better

you know the FSF, like the FS movement, is founded on ethics principles. I don't see any reference whatsoever to the ethical differences between the scenarios in your analysis. I see you trash-talking gratuitously organizations and projects I support and devote myself to while disregarding their raison d'être, and then using that IMHO incomplete and flawed reasoning not to promote user freedom over software or even hardware, but rather to push for acceptance of additional unacceptable proprietary software. are you pushing for fighting for more freedom for users, or for tolerating the growing amount of proprietary blobs that are pushed down their throats, now with your help?
