    The entirety of libs nuance on the Ukraine war:

    "Russia is bad because Putler is an evil barbarian that wants to eat Ukrainian babies alive and you nothing but evil for supporting it, nothing will ever convince me otherwise because Russia is literally an evil oligarchy."

    vs

    "Oh the Ukrainian Nazis? That's not a swastika bro that's just a norse run... Ok but you see that's complicated because well Ukraine is a democracy now and and ah yes the Nazis are only a small part now trust me.

    Oh Ukraine used to be called the most corrupt European country? Well that's not fair who trust those polls anyway, its just a shame honestly but they're improving now and...

    Oh they were literaly bombing Donbas for years? Well thats just fake news honestly, shame on you stupid putler bot.

    Anyway its honestly more important to defend democracy! Look an LGBTQ flag in Kiev! See they're already more progressive than Russia!"

    If you are a """""leftist"""""" that is your nuance you can go fuck yourself, literaly wojak-nooo as you cry about conservative tankies.

    Nobody denies Russia has problems but nobody should be argueing with nazi hugging dipshit libs over it either.

      My new take on anything regarding even a modicum of nuance is that libs only have a memory that goes back about 4 years.

      I'm reading through Inventing Reality and Killing Hope and both of these solidify this theory but especially Inventing Reality. It's so depressing reading something that was written 30 years ago about how media forces our perspective of reality and like nothing has fucking changed.
