    It looks like we have to start at a much more basic level. I’d suggest starting with the books Inventing Reality by Michael Parenti and Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky.

    The fact that you reject the sources I provided outright without considering them on their merits and the primary sources they cite says all I need to know about having a conversation in good faith.

    Coincidentally supporters of the fascist Kiev regime also twist their brains into knots. If you pressed me I’m not sure I could say anything good about the modern Ukrainian state. It’s a neoliberal nightmare, making life significantly worse for its citizens and residents, it’s killing civilians in cold blood, it’s threatening terrorist actions against supposed allies, it’s using Nazi symbology and fascist political strategy, and it’s taking actions that could result in nuclear war. It’s doing all this so that a few billionaires can collect a few more millions or billions. How is this defensible?
