Ukraine-Russia Megathread 8(upload.wikimedia.org)

I hate that that stupid ass line is like a great “gotcha” to them. No, you aren’t able to parse things out and look at the realities of the situation, you’re just falling for RuSsIaN pRoPaGaNdA. And the irony of it is obviously the fact that they’ve just soaked up all the propaganda that has been shoveled at them, but it tasted good so they’re going with it. Ah, the projection, it burns.

Yep, I’d bet if you actually got them to discuss it a little further, if they were able to keep up some bare minimum of dialog without pulling one of their “gotcha cards” like the one above and smugly walking away, that they’d actually end up admitting it is propaganda (like your friend almost did) but that they don’t care because it’s still right for… reasons. They won’t be dissuaded to what they see as the dark side. It’s too much fun being what they naively perceive as the good guy, righteous and brave.

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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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