If hundreds of millions of Americans and Europeans knew what was actually going on, they’d certainly be against the policies their unelected bureaucratic oligarchies are imposing, both at home and abroad. Precisely this is why knowing the truth is all the more important. Unfortunately, it can indeed be dangerous to think and speak freely at this time, and we can only expect more censorship and more “thought criminals”, as any deviation from the official narrative is “dangerous for our democracy”.

What the fuck are you even talking about? I’ve said nothing about Ukraine. Do you call everyone who disagrees with you a liberal? That is a rude insult to sling around in these parts.

What do you think precipitated the dramatic censorship of social media and search engines? Have you been living under a rock for almost three years? Did you also put this URL into “Media Bias Fact Check” to decide whether or not to read it or did you see that a Russian wrote it and panic?

I didn’t need to put this into anything because the writing style tells me everything I need to know. Highly opinionated. Essays posing as news. Opinion underlaid with paper-thin “arguments”. It’s the same that was around during covid spreading misinformation about vaccines and masks. The disinformation itself is not the goal. The goal is to capitalize on people’s fear and isolate them. Make them easy to manipulate later on.

It’s not a new strategy either. Fear and hate have always been tools in the hands of the powerful. If you think the West has a monopoly on that, you’re sorely mistaken.

Fuck Westerm hegemony and capitalism, sure. But also fuck Putin. Fuck all oligarchs.

Again you wrote a reply guy screed without engaging with a single word that was written. We are getting closer to making you read though, as you are now offended by “writing style”. Of course, all of your liberal opinions are fact, everyone else’s are Russian Evil Antivax Hate Propaganda. Do you have any more invective to heap on the piece without daring to attempt to refute a word?
