I've had it up to here with bad faith rhetoric from liberals since this started. I have had a very bad day/year. I'm fuckin diving into storm front and earning my ban.

    I'm gonna be honest this kind of stuff doesn't really bother me

    The more the NATOists and the media build up the hype around Ukraine, the more severe the crash and withdrawal is gonna be for the prestige and reputation of these snakes, and when coupled with the economic costs Europe and the rest of the world are paying, it makes it even more likely to lead a real social break somewhere

    Now I know for a fact when the Ukrainian military begins to buckle the media will respond with complete radio silence that will probably give a few people here whiplash, but as long as these delusional neolibs continue to build up the propaganda machine the more likely an average person will detect the switch when it happens

    Long story short I can't get mad because the inevitable reddit cope is gonna be hilarious

      Honestly that is just wishful thinking to me. Afghanistan proved that nothing matters. From one forever war to the next one; No introspection, no change in rhetoric. The left is as weak as ever. If anything the effect of propaganda is even higher than 20 years ago.

      The Ukraine war will eventually end and China is just around the corner. Nothing is being done to change course. The same people pushing Ukraine propaganda will be the ones to turn around and push anti-China propaganda, just like before, from one war to the next one.

        The consequences of Afghanistan had 10-15 years to diffuse among media and public consciousness, in 2010 everyone already knew it was a bust, 2021 wasn't a surprise despite the media pantomime

        Because of the intensity of the Ukrainian war the collapse is going to be sudden and swift, and there is no diffusion of a "anti-war" view anywhere in the west, which will lead to some real sharp breaks unlike the slow rot of the Afghan war
