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