"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.

    holy shit i actually used to post there myself. that forum always gave me annoying lib vibes and at least half of everyone there got into a big struggle session about the r word at one point. the final straw for me was one of the more active posters there getting really angry at me for saying china shouldn't be "punished" for covid so i just deleted my account lol
