Referencing a subreddit is like asking hillbillies what they think for Trump. Next you'll probably link to British historians about how the British freed regions from savages or oppression during their imperialism and how famine they caused was not their mistake.
80% of reddit's traffic is like US/Europe, you think they'll have fair discussions about what Europe-US did/does/will do?
I've literally seen 100s of posts praising bush because he paints now or is seen with barracks wife. Both war criminals. That place is not a place for political information.
You should be ashamed of posting a link to a propaganda site.
Yes. Puting aside the memes for a second, nobody is more critical of their own government than the citizens of said government (even if in abstract they benefit from the actions of said government, ex: like americans with the american cultural hegemony). It's why fascists always go after dissidents the hardest, because the people who are most familiar with the group are the ones with the most capacity to be insightfully critical about said group, and this threatens the ideal unity (or whatever they call it). This is fundamental to political theory. Marx and Engels have a whole musical number about this concept.
