SEE?
If you bother to count it up you will find that I have accused a very small per centage of people on this forum of supporting evil, murderous regimes. The only ones I have accused of doing this are those who adopted a hostile stance in defence of evil, murderous regimes - such as yourself.
...
Throwing around accusations, lack of self-awareness and honesty, lying - this is all about you, which is because you are only capable of perceiving in others distorted reflections of yourself.
...
This tells us all we need to know about the nature of your character.
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

While the total sum of Donny's contribution to this forum is to chip away at those who do not think as he does.

'Anti-American' is an interesting accusation. It's like accusing somebody of being anti-British imperialism, anti-Nazi, anti-Apartheid, or anti-Zionism. In other words, the accuser would have to be an apologist for these evil, racist, mass-murdering regimes to feel the need to bandy about such ironic accusations in the first place.
"Anti-Americanism" has long been a pejorative, used to denigrate critics of an imperial system. But it is the opposite, "Americanism", which threatens a war on the world.

I've lost count of the number of times you have made that accusation to someone who disagrees with you...usually after they have shown you up or disputed one of your one-eyed posts.
I'm aware the quote is made by Pilger but you have expressed the ad hominem sentiments on countless occasions.
I could quite easily accuse you of supporting 'evil, racist, mass-murdering regimes' as you have shown support to a number of them but I won't,as it's rather boring.
As I've said before, your posts do the work for you so carry on. It's rather amusing.

What a clever approach, accuse the accuser. But you are the one who stooped to the ad hominem sentiments yourself simply because your question wasn't asnwered the way you wanted it to be. You wanted to put words into the mouths of others to ease your conscience about the terrible crimes against humanity your own country is helping commit around the world.
& in your defense of American crimes against humanity you claimed I supported similar regimes. But this is no different to an apologist for the crimes of the British Empire pointing the finger at the natives and claiming they themselves are "savages," or apologists for Apartheid and Zionism claiming their victims are "terrorists." & then you have the audacity to accuse others of insulting those who do not agree with them
No other nation than the one your are effectively defending has killed 20 million people around the world since WWII, no other country has killed 10 million Muslims since the 1990s, no other country has been busy bombing seven other nations over the past decade, no other country has carried out "over 3000 major covert operations and 10,000 minor cover operations," no other country has 900 military bases in 134 countries around the world.
& this is just the tip of the icebeg, as the following video clip - itself almost a decade old now - indicates:

Rowan, could you quote the parts of WIW's posts that you think support the actions of America?rowan wrote:I could accuse you of a great deal more than I have too - but I won't.WaspInWales wrote:Like I said, I could accuse you of quite a few things, but I don't need to as you're doing such a fine job yourself.rowan wrote:So in one paragraph you've stated you "could accuse me of this & that" but "won't" (a tactic lacking in valor, to say the least), and in the next you go right ahead and accuse me of what you just said you "could accuse me of" but wouldn't.
If you bother to count it up you will find that I have accused a very small per centage of people on this forum of supporting evil, murderous regimes. The only ones I have accused of doing this are those who adopted a hostile stance in defence of evil, murderous regimes - such as yourself. Amazing that you should try to deny it (a tactic lacking in valor, to say the least), when it is there and plain to see. That's what this discussion is all about, after all - your outrage that I did not give you the required answer on anti-American propaganda, and thereby failed to ease your conscience over the countless crimes against humanity America has committed all around the world, invariably with Britain's unquestioning support.
& pointing the finger at others is merely an attempt to divert attention from the greater issue at hand (a tactic lacking in valor, to say the least). A century ago people like you were defending the crimes of the British Empire by claiming the native peoples were all savages. It's the same thing. The US and Britain haven't changed at all; that's there and plain to see.
Yes, we know that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists and and even former high ranking US military officers themselves hold no currency with the war crime apologists aboard when they expose the true horrors of American imperialism. I'm sure you won't lose any sleep over it anyway.
You admit that you have thrown such accusations at others, but your complete lack of self-awareness and honesty results in your then lying about just how often you do it.
You then back that up by making a comment about pointing the finger at others. That is all you do. Point fingers and cast aspersions on others. You then follow that up by making up crap about what they think and feel, even if they have never shown any support to whatever you accuse them of.
You are too funny to take seriously, but fuck you are incredibly boring. Wah, wah evil, murderer, boo hoo pulitzer, 20 million, imperialist, empire, whine fucking whine, rant, ad nauseam
Can't wait for your next witless retort accusing me of all manners of horrors...but you're right, I won't be losing sleep over it [emoji38]
Throwing around accusations, lack of self-awareness and honesty, lying - this is all about you, which is because you are only capable of perceiving in others distorted reflections of yourself.
" you are incredibly boring. Wah, wah evil, murderer, boo hoo pulitzer, 20 million, imperialist, empire "
Yes, we already know the deaths of 20 million human beings is boring for you, and that you think it's absurd for anyone to bring this up on a discussion about international politics - and the US in particular. We can see that you also find it somewhat amusing, and have no regard for the views of Pultizer Prize-winning writers who have risked life and limb to go to these war zones and actually report the truth about them. This tells us all we need to know about the nature of your character.
Genuine question, I would be interested in seeing from you the phrases that cause your polemic.
