Holee shit! You could not have proved my point better!
That's "DATA"?!?!?!?! Those are news stories. They're told from a perspective.
If you will read through this thread you find it incredibly one sided that only one perspective is valid, and all others are propaganda/lying. I do not make the same charge the other way, because I think there is quite a bit of truth to the Russian side of things. The fact that most of this perspective comes from the (quite rightly so) media who disbelieves everything, and directly from Russian propaganda doesn't mean it's wrong, but clearly there is one side of this who is emotionally invested. The proclivity to point to the constant and repeated lies of media and government to believe the exact opposite of what they're pushing is as obvious as it is erroneous. There is a Russian/Putin side, but to believe thats even relevant when thousands of innocent women and children are being killed in their homeland is not something I can so easily dismiss as alot of you do, and seem to suggest they deserve it because they're all Nazis and all corrupt, which is fucking absurd.
You have to sift through the bullshit. Really, the only media that wants to report the truth is the right wing media primarily because we believe, in our hearts of hearts, that we are not pushing a political agenda, but rather using common sense and describing reality. Does anyone remember with the left started calling itself "The Reality Based Media"? Yea, that didn't last long. You cannot ignore this INVASION and humanitarian disaster and believe you are the only one with the lock on the truth and the facts, while ignoring what we can see on the ground.
If the Russians invaded my country, turned my cities into rubble, and acted like a hoard of Picts I would be a brutal motherfucker right back to them, and I would be right, because it's my fucking country and my fucking home.
I don't necessarily disagree with the cadre of Ukraine haters, NWO haters, or Putin sympathizers, but although you may or may not like those labels, it seems to me, and a great many people I might add, that all these arguments, apologies, and theories are basically irrelevant when the Russian army is pulverizing cities. Yes, there are Ukrainians in those cities, but I hardly think you accusations against Zelinsky and the corruption in Ukraine extend to all those people in all those cities, and if they do, then we definitely are not going to see eye to eye on anything even though I agree with most or all that's been said and directed against me.
