    I think this could go either way to be honest. There’s going to be a segment of the population who retreat further into their delusions, but there’s also going to be a lot of backlash when people realize they’ve been made fools of. The main rationalizing I expect we’ll will be that the west didn’t do enough.

      I guess that latter group is something to look forward to. Every time people realise the western press treats them like mindless idiots there are always some who actually start to question it, and begin educating themselves. I don’t think this will be the most massive wave of it, but it probably will have a few people come away disillusioned with the system.

        That’s what I’m expecting, and the other factor is the ongoing decline of material conditions in the west. At the end of the day, nothing sobers people up like their own lived experience. Seeing the media constantly bleating about stock markets doing great and the genius of Bidenomics while struggling to make ends meet is a huge radicalizing factor. A lot of people are starting to connect the economy with the constant wars the empire wages, and I expect this trend will only get stronger.
