@wikileaks How dare Julian Assange expose illegal mass surveillance and war crimes committed by the UK and US governments! These are not things which the public has a right to know about. He obviously deserves life in prison.

@spitbull1963 @KazSnn How is pointing out the difference in response "defending" wileys tweets? Katie Hopkins has made equally racist, islamaphobic and generally offensive comments, for a long time.. Did she ever get a visit from 12 police officers for it? She made a career out of hatred!

@richimedhurst Did the USA not drop more bombs on the first day of the invasion of Iraq, than Russia has 3 weeks into the invasion of Ukraine? They didn't call it "shock and awe" for nothing. Iraq, like countless others, was not afforded the right to self-defence, let alone $billions of weapons

If there's one thing history has taught us, it's that scientists always get everything right the first time around and we should ban any discussion that deviates from mainstream opinions. It's also a really healthy and genuinely great way to live! 🙃

This is why it's so important to realize: at the heart of censorship resides *hubris*, the belief that you are immune from error and can discover Absolute Truth that nobody may dispute. So much of what was declared prohibited COVID "disinformation" ended up accepted as viable:

@snarwani Zelensky has made it very clear that he does not associate Ukraine's struggle with that of Palestine. In fact, he sees more in common with the settler colonial state of Israel. I guess he's right, in the sense that both are heavily funded and armed to serve US geopolitical goals.

It's strange that only one side seems to be calling for people to be fired for their views. It would almost make you think that Palestinians have killed more Israelis in 18 days then the total number of Palestinians killed in the last 75 years, rather than the other way round 💀

@AaronBastani Hard not to downplay it if you want to justify flooding the country with weapons. When the US/UK funds any insurgency, they always downplay the radical elements and what risk arming them may pose. This is a hyper-propaganized war, so expect an even more deception on this front.

@Adrian_Hilton @ukblm What happens if black Jews don't agree that Palestinians should be free? We should, as a society, address why ANYBODY feels that Palestinians should be oppressed, have their land stolen and deal with one of the most brutal occupations in modern history, every day of their lives.

@caitoz The more opposing views you can hear, the more you are forced to think, reason and weigh the evidence of contrasting arguments. If you don't want people to think critically about things (a grave threat to those with weak arguments), don't permit them to hear different narratives.

@HipsterUnionRep Simply put, flying the Palestinian flag is considered an act of dissent against the US empire, flying the Ukrainian flag is considered direct support. Zelensky has repeatedly stated Ukraines struggle is aligned with that of the oppressive aparteid state of Israel, not Palestine.

@ggreenwald The ICC has also been repeatedly sanctioned by the US for trying to investigate war crimes by US/Israel. Americans need not worry though, if ANY citizen ever gets charged with a war crime, they have plans to invade the Hague and break them out of prison.
