I’m just showing these comments I saw earlier, which were interesting. Since it is true, that we’ve been hearing that “Russia is cornered”, since the invasion started. I personally just want this shit to end.
These comments are relating to an article from this week.
I wonder if we will ever know what truly happens on the ground (i.e. when it comes to casualties and many other things)
What happened to all the people on Reddit who seemed to have loved peace? Why is every single Redditor a war hungry monster? Did I hallucinate those people?
reddit is astroturfed and full of bots pushing US state department propaganda. Eglin air force base was identified as the most “reddit-addicted” city in 2013, but reddit removed the blog post.
every redditor who is bloodthristy right now has simply internalized the narrative that Russia attacked Ukraine unprovoked and that the US has done nothing to cause or prolong this war.
the imperial core has always been genocidal and bloodthirsty, and reddit users are majority in the imperial core.
You’re thinking of tankies. Tankies are the people calling for an end to the war, and the anti imperialist peace loving democrats are the real Gandhis
Reddit libs use the same type of phrases and terminology when describing Russia and other “enemies” of the US State Department, as fascists and far right freaks in Europe do when describing Muslims and Arabs / Middle Easterners (same thing in their mind really). It’s fucking terrifying how quickly they got on board with the whole “enemy of the free world” shit that also got them to support the interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
