Yes, but to quote Adam Johnson of :the-podcast:, the base unit of propaganda isn't lies, it's emphasis. I don't think anyone here is sincerely doubting that at some point in the now 7 month long and ongoing Ukrainian conflict that at SOME point, the Russian military did end up blasting a children's playground. But the fact that the tragedies committed by the Russian forces are routinely highlighted while all of the arguably more obvious tragedies that the Ukrainian army commits are routinely swept under the rug is pushing an extremely dangerous narrative that can only logically conclude in NATO intervention.
Is it a tragedy that this happened? Of course. But the way this is framed as some unique tragedy committed by the dastardly ruskies is just consent manufacturing for NATO to get involved and doing something even more horrendous
Twitter libs, neocons and neolibs celebrated the death of the "collaborators". Even if Ukraine does something openly heinous I think they will get away with it.
That too is also a possibility. I don't live in Ukraine, nor have I ever been anywhere close to it in my life. I'm just some schlub on an entire different side of the world. All I know of this is that some guy on Reddit posted a picture of a bomb crater in a playground and said "look at evil putin". This could be a picture of a different event. This might just be a completely photoshopped image. Who fucking knows?

Some of the stuff they say about places like North Korea and Cuba is obviously completely fabricated though
