BBC, 2019: Shakil Afridi: The doctor who helped the CIA find Bin Laden

Dr Afridi was the top medic in Khyber tribal district and as head of health services had overseen a number of US-funded vaccination programmes.

As a government employee, he set up a similar hepatitis B vaccination programme, including in the garrison town of Abbottabad, where it turned out Bin Laden was living right under the noses of the military.

The US intelligence plan was to obtain a blood sample from one of the children living in the Abbottabad compound, so that DNA tests could determine whether or not they were relatives of Bin Laden.

The west is legit afraid of Russia’s collapse because once again someone will have to bail Russia out

Most liberals still have no idea what neocolonialism is in general or what shock therapy is in particular.

I don’t think Han supremacy/replacement theory has a singular origin. I think it comes from a confluence of:

  • Chinese state imperialism theory
  • Recycling of white supremacist great replacement theory
  • Projection of white supremacy itself
  • Rolling up Tibet/Uyghur/Hong Kong into one big undifferentiated ball of Han/CPC oppression


In fact quite the opposite has been happening thanks to China's affirmative action policies

Almost all the Lemmy instances consist of imperial core labor aristocrats. They're Western chauvanists. Many of them are tech bros. Many lack class consciousness. They have poor media literacy skills while believing they have excellent skills. They consume their governments' and corporate media's propaganda uncritically, unaware that they’re being propagandized. Many of them are as rabidly anticommunist now as people were during the first Cold War.

They'll regurgitate:

  • pooh bear
  • tiananmen square
  • hong kong
  • famine
  • uyghur genocide
  • secret police stations
  • spy balloons
  • tiktok
  • havana syndrome
  • social media bots
  • taiwan
  • nine dash line
  • ghost cities
  • tibet
  • secret imprisonments & assassinations
  • great firewall
  • social credit score
  • technology theft
  • debt trap diplomacy
  • han superiority/replacement theory

I’ve finally found it… after 15 years
The scroll of truth!

NYEHHH!

Uh yeah, and we're completely and utterly unapologetic about it because it's the morally correct position.

No, it's not the morally correct position. It's your political opinion. But I was trying to make a different point, and that was how bad your "meme" is. The whole point is that people with opinion A are angry when you tell them your opposite opinion B. What I demonstrated with my parody of your meme and what you just confirmed is that the meme can work the same even if you switch A and B. It's a low effort post made in 2 minutes on a toilet and it's not funny, not even for people who agree with your political opinion. Or at least I don't think communists on lemmy are that dumb to find the "lol people who don't agree with me are angry when I tell them the thing they don't agree with 🤣😂🤣" funny. It's stupid and it would be just as stupid if I posted my version of the meme. I don't mind political memes, even if I don't agree with them, but this is not a good meme. It might be a funny shitpost, it's really similar to something like "annanas on pizza haters when you tell them annanas on pizza is tasty". People like you posting low effort shit like this and people upvoting it not because they find it funny, but because they share your political view are turning lemmy into communist circle jerk. !comics@lemmy.ml is full of hateful political cartoons that one of the mods keeps spamming there, so it already is just that. People giving lemmy a try and seeing this getting upvoted are not going to have a good first impression about lemmy. I believe you are hurting this community and whole lemmy and helping no one.
