Sure I’m not saying it’s actually false here, I was simply saying it looks so over the top as to be silly, and was curious about where yogthos got the image.

I don’t follow the western media lies on Ukraine, and understand that history there started before 2022 and 2014. I’m on lemmygrad mang. I was just asking the source on the image.

Is… where is this image from? I know there are nazis in Ukraine but this seems so comical that it looks like it could be AI or something lol.

Don’t forget CUFI. Not enough people I find bring up the fact that usamerican Christians support Israel and fund it just as much or more than AIPAC.

I barely use social media at all besides lemmy and the level of smarmy belligerence you’ve used throughout this thread makes me wanna download signal out of spite.

Maybe take a day off mang.

I suppose all of these headlines are Russian propaganda too?

I am curious what you would say if your brain didn’t immediately perform a kneejerking backflip because of one word. What’s the point of even engaging if that’s all it takes, yknow?

Edit - forgot again. Lol. Really gotta get around to making that .ml account…

Or just… y’know… any age and paying attention…

Predictable.

You cared enough to litter this comment section with childish one word posts. Don’t you think your time and energy are better placed elsewhere?

But it is an explanation. People use mbfc as a way to simply wrap themselves in a blanket, to excuse or feel ok about ignoring anything that feels “icky”, rather than actually taking the time to read through multiple sides and sources to sift through the biased language most media platforms use, whether it’s left right center up down or what-have-you.

It’s basically a time-saving ignorance shield for the vast majority of people who don’t really care to put the work in. Subtlety and nuance is lost in convenience.

Ah, lemmings, got it.

Drowning the truth in an ocean of misinformation seems to work much, much better than censorship at fracturing reality.

For those following this thread, note that the above .world commenter literally cannot see my comment because .world decided certain instances needed to be silenced.

Funny how that works.

Horseshoe theory is garbage, and so is your understanding of history, as well as where most of the nazis went after ww2 (Ukraine, NATO countries, including Canada).

Judging by your other responses in this thread, you need to stop kneejerking and actually do some journalism. I realize my comment isn’t gonna be the one that gets you to do some self-crit and maybe ask a few tough questions about the history of NATO but maybe over time you’ll come to realize we all have a lot more in common with each other than with those at the top who control narratives. Putin is dogshit, the Russian oligarchy is dogshit, but so is the vast majority of the dogshit coming from the West (the ones who also happen to have more power and, as you’re demonstrating, ideological fervor)

Until then, keep using tankie unironically against your perceived enemies, that word means very little to anyone besides fascists and the ill-informed.

Would you agree that it’s 3/4ths the US?

That vague argument could be made, but you are the one now making a claim, and I’d like to see you provide something that shows that, materially speaking, they don’t do whatever the US wants like, 90% of the time.

Like obvs there are other countries involved, but ultimately, do they do much without the consent or direction of the US? Like direct, concrete action, and not just fluff?

Meanwhile, in Canada, most of our Liberal and Conservative MPs gave a standing ovation to a speech about Charlie Kirk.

It’s all up here too, folks.

“At least we’re not the States!” My ass.

Works fine for me.

Well now it’s gone but the other link is even better lol

For the record, I agree with you, lol.

I was purposefully asking this person who seems to disagree. I wanted to know what they see in western media that seems more convincing, if anything.

So if both are just saying what their leaders want them to say, what do people do who want to find the truth?

He’s a pretty standard neoliberal but he’s fairly straightforward about it I suppose. He’s better than PP but that’s not a high bar at all.

At this point, people in Canada are scared of the Conservatives just bending over for Trump (myself included), so right now there’s a surge in polling for the Liberals, which I think would still be there if they ran a ham sandwich, nevermind Mark Carney.

More centrist people probably like the guy more. Whether he will beat the Conservatives? I don’t know anything anymore in North America. Canada has its fair share of right wing grifters and nutjobs.
