"This thread isn't propagandist enough, I don't want my beautiful fantasy world being disturbed."

For context: Knockout is a relatively niche forum that was created by users of the more well-known Facepunch forums when the latter closed down in 2019.

Since the war in Ukraine started, they have regularly been having struggle sessions about the contradictions of being a progressive, pro-trans forum, yet also being fanatically pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine. Most of the time they uncritically believe any propaganda the West, Kyiv, or even British tabloids put out, and they will react extremely hostile to anything that dares break the narrative, as seen here.

Edit: Crap, I screwed up the thumbnail somehow.

    I wish to push back against the word “pick”. They did not pick anything. They are programmed robots. They are seemingly human, they have as much of a soul as anyone else. They lack free will. They simply do not think or reason. They obey their marching orders sent through media. The only choice they have ever freely made is to willingly live entirely within the simulacrum of reality created by mass media.

    This is your brain on liberalism.
