    It is just a month ago I read a dead serious article about Russia now being so short of vehicles that they were riding donkeys and camels into battle.

        Me five years ago: “thank god we have the internet now, and the ability of people to talk with others on the other side of the Earth makes them much less likely to swallow nationalist war propaganda”

        Me now: “half of European citizens are fascist white supremacists and at the very least need years worth of reeducation”

          Up til now it has been thought that the growth of Christian myths during the Roman Empire was possible only because printing was not yet invented. Precisely the contrary. The daily press and the telegraph, which in a moment spreads inventions over the whole Earth, fabricates more myths (and the bourgeoise cattle believe and enlarge upon them) in one day than could have formerly been done in a century.

      Saw somebody say that an explosio in a shopping center in Poland was set by russia to harm the Polish economy and just like… Why? What would be the point of taking an insane risk lile this for the .0000000001% of the economy that any given shopping center provides?

      Or the severed communications line line in the baltic. How would that serve any Russian objective (later it was found a civilian vessel dragged an anchor).

      Abducting 700,000 kids and rehoming them, or alternately, deporting 700,000 kids. Why? That costs money? What do they stand to gain materially from that?" They’ll say it’s genocide, but unlike Israel, there isn’t any record of Russian officials or church leaders or even a popular front calling for Ukranian genociding. Then these motherfuckers have the gall to accuse us of conspiracy theories.

      The media has successfully convinced them to turn off their brains regarding this
