Wild how upset people get when you point out basic facts of the situation.

Cause the people supporting Ukraine are either ignorant of or deny every basic fact of the situation. You're ruining their Marvel movie view of the world

This has been the singlemost extreme mass hypnosis events of my lifetime. People lose their minds in this topic over the most easily provable basic facts.

To me, it's been amazing to see people who appeared to understand the ethos of Chomskys "manufacturing consent" then immediately turned into war hawks.

The worst are the ones who claimed to understand that working class kids are "fortunate sons" but then wanked themselves into a frenzy watching videos of DJI drones dropping grenades onto Russian kids.

In virtually every war in these Burgerlanders’ lifetimes, their country has been on the morally & militarily losing side. They desperately, desperately want a moral & military victory for once, even moreso now that Biden has proven to be Genocider in Chief.
