    I'd just like to point out that us "commie tankies" are the only left of center space that still has a megathread about this conflict every day. Even /r/politics gave up a while back

      libs follow things while it's trendy, only read US media, and give up after 2 weeks

      commies continue investigating everything even after the general public has stopped caring and writes entire books that nobody reads. We then get called unhinged ideologues for doing so. :doomer:

        Outside of being ammo for online slapfights, there's no real world reason to follow it, and people are getting bored.

          Outside of being ammo for online slapfight, there’s no real world reason to follow it

          having a robust historical record with information from the people involved on the ground is one reason to follow it. People have uploaded/downloaded hundreds of videos from youtube, twitter, leftypol and telegram accounts some of which ended up banned, and made an effort to archive these.Many of them are videos that would never be aired by Western media because it is contrary to the narrative. Many of them contain testimonies of ukrainian citizens that are inconvenient for the USA and NATO.

          i suppose to some people the historical record is just an academic slapfight, but when the dust settles, hegemonic narratives must be treated with skepticism. It is the failure to counter hegemonic narratives that leads to dogshit understandings of history and geopolitics like this

            I completely agree, it's just that people are so entrenched, you can't even show them proof without them just saying you're a fallacy ridden Russian bot.

            It's so hard to try to engage anyone anymore. Even my one buddy I work with keeps having shittier and shitter opinions the more I talk to him about politics and our role in society.

              Isn't radicalization cool? It's like one of those sci-fi movies where you get bit by some weird creature then slowly mutate in to an alien monster.

              Yeah, it's shit like this that makes me think there is zero revolutionary potential in the imperial core. The vast majority of people just believe whatever corporate media says about our current Official Enemies and instantly shut you out if you express any skepticism. Imagine how vicious the media (and then the public) would get if a communist movement actually emerged as a credible threat to power.

                The government has a solid track record of murdering leftist leaders. I'm all for revolution, but that's above my pay grade

          It's something to do while we wait for the cold hand of death to embrace us.

      Funny how it's us 'Russian shills' that are the only ones who still give a shit about what's happening on the ground to ordinary people. Everyone else has put the flag in their Twitter bio, whitewashed and funded enough Nazis to permanently fuck up the country, and got bored.

      Libs tend to ignore stuff until the issue can't be ignored, then blame everyone else but them.

      Communists and Fascists were really the only people tuned in remotely between 2015-2021

      Liberals spent those years at brunch largely

      Really? Fucking wild, what else is even happening in international politics that isn't directly tied to this war? This is the biggest thing that's happened on the international stage in years, having global repercussions at a level that I don't think any recent events have.

        Well, trump did... Something, so we gotta pay attention to that.

        Are you saying Jan 6th wasn't worse than 5 holocausts and 17 9/11s all rolled into one? #resist
