"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.

    The line between the two is almost non-existent.

    Geopolitically they both support exactly the same thing but with a different flag stuck on it.

        They differ on domestic politics. They agree completely on everything outside their own borders, until 10-20 years later when they are finally told by the media that they can now talk about how it was a mistake.
