In Militarizing Push, Russian School Children To Build Drones
-
Are we forgetting that the US has JROTC in schools? Literally training kids for the military...
Yes and they literally have a drone competition. It's the exact same thing as russia.

It really is not cause nothing is as blatant as ruzi media
It only looks that way from inside the imperial bubble.
-
All bad things are equally bad?
Yes, most people think that lies in service to violent control is bad.

Positively dystopian.
Positively american.

Positively american.
No. We have our own dystopia, our kids get shot in the classroom. We don’t have them assemble the guns to kill other people.
Big difference.

Links to Radio Free Europe articles get posted way too often on Lemmy. It's just RT for the US government.
I don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.
But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.
Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.

Oh noooo!!! Scary Russians!!! jfc.
The indoctrination system in USA is completely controlled by the MIC. Almost all of the R&D is funded for violence. This starts way before college. Probably every kid will be working for the military at some point. Drones are just the tip of the iceberg:

Zero surprise that OP is overt imperial propaganda.
Hey guess what? Both of these can be bad. I'd argue that the case in "Russia" is a bit worse, seeing as this is actually not Russia, but Crimea. That said, the militarization of children is fucking awful anywhere.
