The instant I post anything about historical context or say anything about NATO or how the Ukrainian government are Nazis I get banned for being a "Russian bot", even in forums I have actively posted to for years. Anything not 100% pro American intervention is Russian propaganda and not a real person.
Is this what the lead up to Iraq was like? I'm seeing people I previously thought were fairly sane and rational people act like rabid dogs about this.
Edit: I actually feel like I'm being gaslit. People are denying things from only a few years ago all over the news as having never happened. People are claiming easily verified historical facts that should be taken as a given aren't true and wanting sources for basic stuff like "where was the border of the USSR in the 70s".
People are denying things we literally have live footage of. US foreign policy and people's understanding of it are fully manufactured even without someone having to do the manufacturing now. People do it for themselves
