We don’t need to manufacture grievance to criticize our government and institutions. In fact, it weakens our case when we do so.
The top comment outlines some very reasonable explanations for the difference in phrasing between the two headlines. If you’re always assuming the worst possible motivations, people aren’t going to take you seriously.
I’m sure the newspaper that cheerleaded us into the Iraq war and is owned by a board of billionaires is following only the strictest code of ethics when it comes to reporting on American warmongering.
Right?! It’s so uncivil and making unfair assumptions to point out that the newspaper with a history of war hawking and downplaying fascism dating literally back to Hitler isn’t trustworthy on the subject of war and fascism 😢
The idea that somebody else might not take the same, obviously bad faith interpretation of a pair of headlines worked you up into that much of a lather?
I have given up hope that the US population can be counted on. They have allowed too many atrocities to happen, and it is equally obvious that they will not even act for their own sake.
I simply do not accept arguments such as “there is no evidence,” because only the worst can be expected from the US - the evidence is the president who leads the US.

The poor innocent independent newspaper that promoted illegal wars before, look they said they changed. Just don’t ask if it was for the better.
When it comes to corporate news sewers, you’re barking in the wrong toilet.
said as if the government has ever been held accountable…
apologists are never taken seriously
You’re talking about motivations? Seriously? These mother fuckers have done so much worse than this and it’s us that shouldn’t be taken seriously?
Why don’t you crawl up that ass of yours a little more.
What case? When have you cowards have held your government responsible for any of unprovoked attacks, invasion, regime changes, massacre abroad?
That boot must taste really good, huh?

What are you doing to stop fascism in your country?
I vote and regularly attend protests, but lately I’ve also been pointing out to people on social media that whataboutism is not very effective.
Says the person who screams and insults, “Do something!” all while probably not even a US citizen and gives no advice.
How dare you run defense for the imperialist americans?
