    If you wage war across the world don’t you think someone will try to respond? US was the aggressor and had aided in the killing of thousands of civilians in numerous theatres, this could be phrased if you are being polemic as “the US deserved it.” Do you believe the US is the righteous world police, protecting democracy?

    There’s a vast gulf between “the US is the righteous world police” and “the US deserved 9/11”; not to mention the extremely questionable nature of many of the stated motives for the attack. At the core, Bin Laden was a religious fanatic whose entire anti-American crusade was kicked off by American troops defending the Saudis in the First Gulf War.

    Please do, give me quotes from hexbear users, that’s what I’ve been asking for all along. I want to see directly what you think 'tankie discourse ’ is.

    Oh, if we’re not restricted to the front page (as though I used the front page for dramatic purposes, I kept to it because I expected that your immediate response was a request for me to prove that particular assertion), then it becomes trivial.

    I can go back further to grab “Russia will never invade!” stuff if you want me to prove the first two parts of the meme as well. I can also do this for any other meme I’ve posted here.
