I only believe western media when it suits my world view vibes
When media admits things that runs against their interests/narratives it is more believable than when it fits in with their narratives and interests generally yes. Is that really a controversial idea?
Or maybe you have a media literacy problem.
Taking bias and interests into account when evaluating how much stock to take in a piece of information and it's source is a media literacy problem in your eyes?
Are you sure you're not the one with the problem?
There is always a reason everything is published and it is never to "keep the public informed". Just because you happen to agree with it doesn't make it any more factual or less disinformation than the ones you don't agree with.
When did I ever say it was? Infact my comments very clearly point to the reality of pushing narratives to forward the interests of those who own/control the media.
Fucking obviously. Thank you for the truism. But again literally entirely irrelevant to what I said.
It's not at all irrelevant. They are always bullshitting you. That is the only thing you can be sure of.
Are you incapable of comprehending what I said?
Admissions against one's interests hold more weight than claims in ones own interests.
This is a fact.
At no point did I make any claim about it being any media outlet telling the truth or any other such idiotic stawman you are attempting to build.
just Sayin Shit, as you guys are wont to do
How does that change Russia being an imperialist country filled with neonazis of its own?
Russia is not an imperialist country at present, despite Western propaganda to the opposite. Previously:
And while Russia does have a few neonazis, as most countries do, they don’t hold a candle to the scale of Ukraine’s.
Wagner group alone is a neonazi organization that had tens of thousands of members just a few years ago, an order of magnitude more than the famous Azov brigade. And it's literally named after Hitler's favourite composer.
Neonazis are only an issue for Putin when they can be used as justification for war. Otherwise, they don't matter.
Ffs you guys are too much
Last chance to make a point
here you can see the brain of a liberal under spontaneous combustion when reality hit em
That's your reply lmfao?
Engage with at least one source.
What's the problem? It's literally full of sources and documentation that counters your worldview. How is it too much to present that? Just want to keep you and your thoughts inside a bubble?
Holy fucking braindead fascist take, I don't even know where to begin with such a disgusting post.
First you excuse trading with a genocidal settler state, you'd be willing to sacrifice those in poverty and in need. With the excuse they'd be protected from Russian shells? Hello? Russia has not attacked Finland, and they had every right to attack Finland during WW2 because Finland was literally fighting with the Nazis. For fucks sake until a few years ago, their military emblem had the SWATSIKA!
Then your last paragraph, sincerely how is Russia an existential threat to humanity? In fact why the FUCK is China on the same level? What have they done to be treated like the monsters of Amerikan empire? China has not attacked anyone, they have not done anything but bloodthirsty liberals like you just delude yourselves into a panic over imaginary threats.
Meanwhile your countries, your empire has killed millions and inflicted suffering for decades, many, many decades! You enforce austerity and extract all their resources and anyone who fights back get painted as literal demons and suffer collective punishment.
And then you call Bibi a small potato in term of war criminal.. compared to Russia and China? Are you fucking stupid?
Pick up a gun and follow your leader, thanks!
Hitler particles off the charts
You talk like a bloodthirsty redditor who will treat these serious topics as just another debatebro distraction. You are genuinely reprehensible and you genuinely need to consider how this sounds to others.
WOW, fuck you. You don't care about the Uyghurs, how about you focus on the real genocide happening in Palestine that you consider to not be a problem at all. Hong Kong? You mean the region England took over from China with force after the opioid war that England itself started? Tibet? Which its people suffered actual slavery, frequent amputations as punishments? Which was ruled by the Dalai Lama who is also all over the Epstein files?
Genuinely, take my advice from earlier; Pick up a gun and follow your leader.
you are not a tankie you disgusting piece of shit, you are exactly the kind of person who makes a perfect nazi. they're not openly ideological about their shit, but just coincidence every opinion you spit out of mouth is the same opinion a nazi would have. your fucking colonial project will end, the whole west will rot out, all you filthy gringos, you will not be able to steal other people's work anymore, and you're too deep in your ass to see you're fucking yourself. the century of humiliation is ahead of you, you better be ready.
Have I missed something???
Zelensky did though, and not only Poland but rest of Europe too.
God damn. I've never seen a liberal label themselves as a tankie until now. And the reason is because you want to kill Russians. Truly child-like levels of political understanding on top of deranged violent bigotry.
"Tankie" is just another pejorative for communist, which you most certainly are not. So you go around spouting bullshit and lies and fear mongering with war for what? Because you are a scared fool, just as these western governments want you to be. And next you'll be cannonfodder for them. Just stop, go away.
So you say we should not be scared of Russia, yet you also say we will be cannonfodder for western governments.
... cannonfodder against what country? Since Russia is not a threat according to you.
what country? Whatever your empire decide to fight, could be Russia/China, any BRICS country, any middle eastern country, fuck if America paint a well put propaganda against Greenland you mindless beasts will fight and die like cannon fodder to protect capitalism.
Capitalism? Who is defending capitalism? This isn't the 1900s, both capitalism and communism have proven incomplete and untenable. No wonder you people can't win a war even with overwhelming numbers. Still stuck fighting last century's wars.
“You people”? Who do you imagine you’re talking to?
Nice of you to use the propaganda that Nazi Germany loves to dehumanize the people of former-USSR.
Right... whatever you say "tankie"

You are exactly who Bari Weiss and Peter Theil want every "tabkie" to be.
Disgusting. "dismantling the welfare state, condemning multiple of the marginalized and vulnerable to poverty, homelessness and hunger and working closely with the various fascist entities is bad and all, but have you considered the RuZzIaNs?". I hope you get that fucking war you're mongering for, and I hope you die in it, you fucking fascist.
Can I get a death wish from you to? Im tired.
It is perplexing what happen to Finns this last decade, I cannot understand. I think it has to be a very well coordinated traditional and specially social media campaign that was able to override 3/4 of a century of pragmatism and wise decisions.
But it is not just Finns, all Baltics and Scandinavians fell for it.
How come Moscow is more than a threat now than has been the Soviet times where they were really powerful and messing with countries right and left, near and f. Once Finland guaranteed no NATO in the 50s, Russia left Finland to prosper like no other country in Europe did... and now, this. Russia has been, for a decade say, year after year, after year... that they would consider NATO in Ukraine as a no-no. It is not just that Ukraine cannot choose its destiny, but that we dismiss Moscow's concerns after being invaded multiple times by the West through Ukraine... a claim they may have! Especially when certain politicians have been mentioning for a decade to partition Russia into different microstates!
Funny enough, after decades admiring the Scandinavians, the most sanity in Europe seems to be in the PIGS countries now. Probably due to their skepticism to governments' propaganda, it is what saved them from the abnormal levels of Russophobia that social media had been flooded with all these years
