"Russia bad. America good. I'm a free thinker. You're a brainwashed tankie."
I made no claims about America, but Russia is particularly bad when it comes to lies. Remember when all of this was starting and they were waving away a massive buildup of tanks as a training drill? Russia makes claims of genocide by Ukraine while denying well documented mass murder of Ukrainian civilians. It claims that US contractors are deploying chemical weapons in the Donbass region. Then there were the transparent lies around Flight MH17. The US lies from time to time, it is true. But Russia lies habitually in a firehose of misinformation to confuse between truth and fiction. It is like comparing Trump and his habitual lying with a more normal politicians occasional truth stretching. Not even the same league.
The plane was almost certainly shot down by separatists who mistakened it for a Ukrainian air force bomber. They then prevented any neutral third party from investigating.
If only I had your level of denial, then maybe I wouldn't be so miserable living in the West.
You know what can definitely help you?
✨ Russian citizenship ✨
You think it's that easy to immigrate anywhere? Trust me, if I could leave, I would. I can't.
Also, loving your ability at nuance. Everyone who doesn't hate Russia or defends them in any way worships Russia and wants nothing but to live there and lick the ground Putin walked on.
Honey. Is this the secret to all these eurolibs pretending that everything is fine?
