    It’s the manufacturing of consent at work in real-time. To these loonies, history always resets at some “boomerang” event (9/11, oct 7th, etc…), which is used and abused as justifications to maintain status quo (western interventionism).

    I think I’ve said this elsewhere but as long as they’re not on the receiving end of forever wars/genocides, it’ll never dawn on them how privileged they are to say whatever asinine bs without remorse or consequence (they get straight up rewarded for it).

    Honestly I don’t get why you engage with them, I would’ve lost my sanity the moment some Western chauvinist tried to sell people on Western-installed puppets with appeal to ahistorism. Props to you though for persevering.

      It’s very frustrating and the thread I linked made me feel like I was losing my mind. I try to seek out perspectives I disagree with but a lot of times I just end up concluding, “Damn, these people are even worse than I thought.”
