Nah, people at these ‘premier’ publications are true believers, they’re that dumb. It’s why they earn the big bucks, they’re a truly rare breed.
They’ve gone through their formative years, academic and professional lives, encased in pure, unadulterated neoliberal thought without a single ray of dialectical materialism or critical analysis that goes against their world view crossing into anything they consume. They read Thomas Friedman by the bed side, watch ‘West Wing’ on their downtime, patron chic/fine dining establishments, and if they interact with the average peasant they pat themselves on the back for not vomitting and being a true man of the people
Great lakes? I’ve never been Chicago so I dunno but I’ve been to Detroit and that’s not really a true city. It’s pretty much the same as every other American city
The western controlled incumbent Ukranian regime turned Bandera into a war hero, renaming entire building and streets and having a holiday in his name and yet 56% were still skeptical to the point of not even saying he was a positive figure and 32% saying he was a negative.
You didn’t misword anything, you were truly blaming average Ukranians for their country being a geopolitical ragdoll, and not still part of an already dissolved Soviet Union
A survey by the Democratic Initiative Foundation in April 2021 found that one out of three Ukrainians, 32%, considered Bandera's acts as positive, and just as many took the opposite view.
You conveniently brought up the statistic that was made after Nato carved the country into a proxy husk.
although the population of Western Ukraine/Galicia is extremely reactionary and aligned with western backed Nazis. Bandera support is not some isolated thing, it’s the majority opinion in the western areas.
I’m going to need some proof that this holds true to any significant degree and tht the average Western Ukranian is even like this. I’m not some expert on Ukraine, I’ve never lived there nor been there but I made friends with several Ukranian immigrants before the war and that was not the impression that I got at all. I went to fucking campfires with Ukranians and Russians before the war, and they seemed virtually indistinguishable.
This is purely annecdotal but your OP sounded like some shit Libs would tell the few Muslim voting abstainers about not voting for Kamala. And you say you didn’t mean to blame the average Ukranian for their country going to shit except you keep doing it.
Like, step away from the keyboard and relentless adherence to taxonomy, realize 1. This country is fucking destroyed, real people have lost their homes and b. As much as you’re allowed to sympathize with modern Russia you owe no allegiance to them as a communist, you presented your argument as if 3.7 million people remain in Ukraine as a result of the fall of Communism and, you know, not the war between them and the Russian Federation.
As I see cars pass by I constantly think to myself why the fuck would you buy an American shitbox over a Toyota/Honda when it literally costs the same? Seriously, what the fuck is going on here?
