Even articles like this, which immediately trigger libs as “obvious Russian propaganda”, try to shift the blame…
“People don’t want to fight because something something Trump bad”.
Yeah, Trump bad is obviously the reason. What else could it be? Definitely not the beating and kidnapping people off the streets daily like it’s a totally normal thing (which actually is also mentioned in the article). Why don’t people want to fight for such a wonderful regime? If not for Trump, everybody would gladly die for the pieces of shit in the government, like it was before Trump was elected. Ah wait no, people actually hated the kidnappers long before Trump, it’s just now the west has finally started seeing this shit after it’s no more a taboo. Ah well…

it makes me wonder if the west will ever come to learn of the ukraine’s nazi-supremecist led pogroms that made the russians intervene in the first place.
i know that that answer is no since westerners, americans in particular, are heavily propagandized; but some part of me wants to hold out hope since it’s clear that social media has changed the propanda game as evidenced by isreal and social media.
then again, the anti-ice protests aren’t even on lemmy; so probably not.

No chance. Remember Thích Quảng Đức, whose selfimmolation photo is one of the most famous and most reproduced photos of XX century and who became the symbol of desperate protest? Most of westerners and westoids seem to think he was protesting against China instead of US-backed South Vietnam regime.
i want to believe that it’s different now because of social media, but as i said, tiktok is censoring the ice protest and lemmy doesn’t even have it; so you’re probably right.
Do libs admit the USA is involved yet? Because otherwise what does the opinion and actions of a USA politician have any influence at all.
It’s because of Trump while the US has nothing to do with it at the same time. It’s like that every time with libs.
Copped a ban on lemmy.flatworld today for linking this excellent summary of the last decade
the libs are in a very fragile state right now
