“I’m so anti war it’s ridiculous, but you know what, I think we should send some troops to help our Ukrainian friends.” :reddit-logo: Really reminds me of “I’m way far left but you know what, Hillary is getting my vote” vibe

Some people just can’t self-crit, apparently.

It’s easy to think you’re free of propaganda if you find yourself disagreeing with something the United States (or your home country whatever that may be) does. That’s not to say that the perfect ideology is saying no when the United States says yes and vice versa on every single issue, but just that it’s easy to be like “Logically, if I oppose what the United States did in this specific situation, I must be a free thinker and free of their beguiling influence on the media. Therefore, if I think that Ukraine needs troops from us, and I think that I came up with that idea myself and not because of the media manufacturing my consent, then it’s not because I’m a stooge for the United States like one of those people, I’m actually educated.” The intention is meaningful even if the ends are the same, according to them.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
