I gotta double- no triple down on the Pro-Russia stance now that Zelenskyy went to Israel and Russia called for Israel to ceasefire. Pro Russia as in them winning Donbas. The country of Russia has a long way to go, but NATO needs a swift kick to the nads every now and then
They do realize if WW3 does happen they will be drafted, right? Like, they’re frothing at the mouth for it but I don’t think they know they themselves will be fed into the war machine.
It’s like being a monarchist who works in retail. They think they’ll be king when their revolution happens, completely oblivious to their predetermined role as serf.
usians have this vision of a war that it is like going safari with the boys, going to some “shithole country” to shot some <third worlder racial slur>, crack open a cold one and have a bbq + manifest destiny that they are god’s unmatched army and they win easily and doesn’t cross their minds that war can happen in the home land, always on the attack.
It’s always everyone else that will be affected. Never them. This is what individualism has done to them. They have no concept of being part of society. They are separated from it and the only way to get through to them that they are all part of the same society is to bash them in the head with it.
It’s just so hard to empathize with such a narrow point of view. These people are too old to lack such critical awareness that other human beings roam this earth with full lives and dreams. I just don’t get it. I don’t think I will ever understand redditors…
In the early days of WWI soldiers were leaving for the front, cheering from festively decorated railway cars. They would go and win glory and prove their manhood at the battlefield and they would all be home by Christmas.
We are not a single bit smarter today.
I keep thinking things will be different. But after so many wars, truly nothing has changed. They’ll only begin to regret pushing for WW3 once they’re drafted, and even then I doubt it’ll really do much to sway their opinion. They probably won’t change until they see their buddies blown to bits in front of their eyes.

no stupid questions doesn’t mean no stupid answers
that threads so full of cope lol
not one person can outright say ‘ukraine is losing’
It doesn’t help that critisizing Ukraine gets you absolutely swamped iwth downvotes.
I think reddit is full of CIA , human beings cannot be that dumb or yankees are dumber than global south ? XD
There are 100% bot farms working on reddit to boost pro-american foriegn policy narratives and to downvote counter-narratives
Yeah , one guy wrote Russian cannot lose and he was downvoted and attacked. Seems to me reddit is just full of CIA bots playing themselves. Where as when I watched BBC News YT comments about Putin… It was clearly pro Russia and critical of BBC for failed journalism.
The completely arbitrary “score hidden” thing is applied pretty unevenly and conveniently too
As a Canadian, it’s a western thing in general (though the US is the most glaring example of it). An increasing number of people know better, and I do think reddit is full of CIA- but the honest truth also is that there’s also a sizable portion, or perhaps even a dominant majority (it becomes difficult to tell sometimes) who really believe all this shit.
Western chauvinism is a hell of a drug. Think about how white-worshipping, west-idealizing people are, then consider how bad those who are actually white and western and who buy into all of it just as badly or worse are- that’ll give you an idea. And it gets worse- a sizable amount of even the occasionally dissenting voices are still part of this mentality in varying degrees, since it crosses the partisan divide.
To be honest, my father taught me to never underestimate human stupidity.
At this point I’m honestly starting to wonder if no education at all is actually better than the American education system.
It literally would be.
Think about how much of “American history” is “don’t believe your lying eyes”
“The Civil War wasn’t about slavery” (gee that’s weird since it was literally free states versus slave states)
“It’s ok we killed all the natives because God said all the land between the oceans was ours” (gee that sure is convenient for us)
“Government exists to amicably cooperate and figure out the way to do things that’s best for everybody” (why does literally everybody agree they’re getting fucked over then)
