    Those tanks refer to regimes and governments, not the people, there are good people and bad people everywhere in every country.

      This “blame the government not the people” schtick has got to go…

      This thinking is just an attempt to resolve a cognitive dissonance or something. Basically, it ends up looking like you coyly address the issue without trying to anger anyone, which ends up watering down the whole point…

      Fuck it, just say “Fuck America” because Fuck America, “Fuck the EU” because fuck the EU and I don’t only mean the countries within the union and “Fuck the Commonwealth” because fuck the Commonwealth. No punch pullsies. And no hiding behind a palatable Tank Man for Westoids to reinforce their biases, even in good meaning.
