    Naturally there’s a fog of war on any breaking news, but give it a few months look back and see if the information was correct or not. If it was a lie, than congratulations you get to feel good about yourself. If it turned out to actually be true, then it’s time to work on your media literacy.

    It’s not reasonable to expect people to look into stuff they do agree with, but for something they don’t? That’s an easy first step.

      Yeah, I am not gonna feel good about myself either way because it’s a horrible attack on innocent civilians… what I am calling bullshit on is that a state sponsored TV station pushes unverified shit that plays right into the hands of an imperialistic state that started a war totally unprovoked.

        war totally unprovoked.

        Yet another person who believes it all started in 2022.

        Been getting some mileage out of this quote lately lmao

          No, I am fully aware that this war has been raging for a decade… but the annexation of Crimea was as unprovoked as anything else that Putin has done. It’s just that when you 8 years later start to move the goalpost to include “Military Special Operations” and not calling it what it was from the start… well then you got some ‘splainin to do.

              I would rather have the one that presents the claims also back them with verifiable evidence, is that to much of an ask? That is how the scientific method usually works and I can’t see why we can’t apply it in this case.

                Yes and that’s exactly why you got smacked with that Mao quote. Go learn instead of regurgitating propaganda the mainstream media feeds you, we’ve heard it all a thousand times.

                I mean. If your debilitating porn addiction leaves you with any spare time of course. We’ve all got our priorities.

                    Ok, so I have to admit… I skimmed the quote and missed the great wisdom of looking at the past and present… correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Russia promise not to touch Ukraine if they handed over their nuclear weapons? But sure, things change… holding up one’s end of the deal hasn’t really been on the agenda for Russia, UK, US or most of the “great” nations of the world.

          Oh I feel you… they have made some epic fuckups and the current one unfolding in regards to the conflict I Gaza is really… ‘effed up. But I can hold two thoughts in my head… even though I’m a libturd.
