    Do you think Margaret Thatcher effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to illegal paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland?

    lol in all seriousness this is just a reflection of the western media coverage of the war. None of the actual reasons for the war are being covered. The enemy is an evil psychopath whose reasons and motivations can’t be explained and everyone who agrees with him is just under some kind of magic zombie wizard spell. The history of ukraine, the war, the coup in 2014, are censored from discussion, the fact that most western left wingers are unknowingly supporting the Ukrainian right wing , just shows that they are in complete isolation and confusion.

    Western news coverage is nothing but combat porn and non-stop very blatant pro-war propaganda, the best most coherent legitimate criticisms of Putin are coming from the so-called Russian state media. It’s as if, the Nazis put all their children and mentally disabled members in charge of their propaganda. And this is all westerners will ever see, whatever the outcome in Ukraine, they will never hear or see anymore than that, and the western media will simply move on to their next invasion target. It’s so far beyond any kind of cognitive dissonance, its a very blatant kind of attitude of “we are lying, we plan to lie more, we know evidence is everywhere that we are lying, and we don’t care.” I’ve never really seen this, even during 9/11 there was never this attitude of, “we are the rightful aryan warrior guardians of the planet and we rule the world and are totally causing this war and Osama is totally right and good guy but we don’t care, we’re just lazily and blatantly lying and making up stories about him.” somehow we went from having the worlds largest protest over the invasion of iraq in 2003 to seemingly all the same people not only supporting war, but actively encouraging a nuclear apocalypse.
