    God damn, Thank you for putting that boneheaded lib in this place.

    Western libs are all confidence and no intelligence. We are the most propagandized people on the planet, and most people are so uncomfortable with the word “propaganda” that they refuse to even acknowledge its existence.

    At the beginning of this conflict, I was a western ib all the same and though I didn’t speak about it online, I supported Ukraine. It took a lot of keeping my mouth shut and listening, and learning history, and just not being so over confident, to finally come to the understanding that the West is causing this problem, not trying to solve it.

    Lame.ee is the fucking worst.

    Thank you for being willing to speak out and being the voice of reason.

      Similar thing. Being apolitical played a bad joke on me. Though even then I did not have hatred towards the Russian people, despite being absolutely carpet-bombed with propaganda. But then I started to see inconsistencies and - surprise! - contradictions. And then the big one dropped - in mid-2022 I realized it was the West who sabotaged the peace talks. I started digging. All in all, these material conditions radicalized me into becoming a communist.

      That’s no coincidence and you know it. In more ways than one the empire depends on the bubble. Hate your enemies but respect them - the US is unmatched when it comes to lies, projection and propaganda - in general. It’s great that you punched through all of it - it strengthens my revolutionary optimism even more. Keep your head up, comrade!
