> The US doesn't have the moral high ground either. > The US started killed so many innocent people in the Middle East to get their hands on the oil. Thanks for writing your comment, i was thinking of writing something similar. > I find it amusing when an American judges the UAE. yeah i don't understand how Americans gloss over the myriad of contradictions, and just the overall violence, of US foreign policy i'd like to leave this important video here for anyone who hasn't yet seen it: The CIA is a Terrorist Organization // [VIDEO]

All of this is easy to say for someone living on the 'other side of Imperialism', as Vijay Prashad beautifully says: [LINK] I take issue with everything you've written. You somehow still believe the words you use are themselves evidence (and it's obvious they originate from western media firms who manufacture consent - it impacts you (unconsciously) even if you consider yourself very progressive/leftist). Who controls the world through financial imperialism? It isn't China. Seriously, please consider a few of these: [VIDEO] [LINK] [LINK]

I don't have a link, but I've noticed that quite a few videos in the similar corner of topics need an "age check" (e.g. [VIDEO] , the creator of which was (according to them) visited by DHS for "anti-american sentiments" [1] ) [1] [LINK]

Youtube instantly demonetized, put behind triple community warnings, and removed from search the video "The CIA is a Terrorist Organization" ( [VIDEO] ) which was sourced only from things the CIA / US Government have formally admitted on the record as having done in the past.

The same one that caused YouTube to try to bury the video titled "The CIA is a Terrorist Organization" < [VIDEO] > and a three letter agencies to visit the author to investigate "anti-american sentiment" < [LINK] >

i hear what you're saying but i've spent too much time in the Middle East to know that most reporting in the west is intentionally deeply Islamophobic; mostly to manufacture consent for imperialist wars that allow the global north propertied/capitalist class to plunder and dominate. [VIDEO] [LINK]

I am from latin america and at least neither China nor Russia have participated in coup d'etat to install a military junta to then torture and massacre anyone slightly left of the US "Democratic" Party. Source: [VIDEO]
