the United States expanded the geographic scope of its actions beyond traditional area of operations, Central America and the Caribbean. Significant operations included the United States and United Kingdom–planned 1953 Iranian coup d’état, the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion targeting Cuba, and support for the overthrow of Sukarno by General Suharto in Indonesia. In addition, the U.S. has interfered in the national elections of countries, including Italy in 1948,[1] the Philippines in 1953, Japan in the 1950s and 1960s[2][3] Lebanon in 1957,[4] and Russia in 1996.[5] According to one study, the U.S. performed at least 81 overt and covert known interventions in foreign elections during the period 1946–2000.[6] According to another study, the U.S. engaged in 64 covert and six overt attempts at regime change during the Cold War.

also ‘fudalism’ is a funny typo considering this is F.U.D. about socialism and communism

Adopting rightwing policies ‘does not help centre-left win votes’
Study of European electoral data suggests social democratic parties alienate supporters by moving towards the political centre
Or you can vote R
I live in a red state, and it ain’t going blue for Biden. This is ‘democracy’.
“The other guy is worse than me” is not such a winning strategy, but I guess it works for the #VoteBlueNoMatterGenocide crowd.
We have to support the genocide OVER THERE so we don’t have genocide OVER HERE!
Are you Adrian Zenz or just a ‘state dept leftist’?
The one that we are not preventing in the present.

there’s so many to chose from though
They are not the same, one is happening right now as I type this. The other is in the past, unable to be changed. Time is linear like that. The point of the meme is that the place where the Nazis were celebrated THEN is NOW celebrating another genocide in progress.
The subtleties of the same picture meme are lost on you.
Calling out how the West wants to call one thing a genocide that is clearly not, while also saying something is definitely not a genocide when it clearly is, that’s called pointing out hypocrisy.
The world can see it. That’s why there is so much green on the 2nd map.
“genociding people is bad” is such a hot take it makes past genocides look better than they actually were
This is the logical equivalent of a dog chasing its own tail.
Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt
international rules based order crumbling like a stale cookie, now that’s a joke
35000+ dead civilians is a joke to you?

The Myth of Tiananmen And the price of a passive press
June 4, 2010
A few people may have been killed by random shooting on streets near the square, but all verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully. Hundreds of people, most of them workers and passersby, did die that night, but in a different place and under different circumstances.
The Chinese government estimates more than 300 fatalities. Western estimates are somewhat higher. Many victims were shot by soldiers on stretches of Changan Jie, the Avenue of Eternal Peace, about a mile west of the square, and in scattered confrontations in other parts of the city, where, it should be added, a few soldiers were beaten or burned to death by angry workers.

I was wondering when crypto content would become a thing like this.
I wonder if this is related to US Feds wanting to keep certain zero-day exploits undisclosed for their own purposes. This is something that has happened a few times already. NSA and the like will maintain silence on exploits they use on targets, or even force implementation of backdoors via quasi-legal means.
There’s almost no reason to trust closed-source non-free software anymore really, especially from US-aligned corps.
