The Political Thread

Like how at first the news spun it like every Russian supported the war, and just not the fact they are losing there are switching sides. News needs to actually get the damn story straight.

Post Edit: I also want to say that I would bet that a good part of the people leaving are oligarchs and their families and not everyday people.

Very likely, yes. Upper society peoples, influencers etc., I'd say.

However this all will end, it's gonna be such a way bigger mess than people think it's going to be/already is.

Something tells me we could change those to Rs, flip the stories placements and it be accurate as well there.

because memes are good arguments

Yeah, i have no doubt about that.

To be fair, I had just woke up and seen that and that was my initial thought, so that is my bad

honestly also depends where u look im sure. al jazeera and more neutral papers probably covered it a lot more fair than any US news outlet who have more of an agenda. i read most of my news on CBC and the likes so for int news it doesnt quite paint the russian populace as evil doers like other places might

Never stopped you guys from using them in this thread.

You are correct. However , something tells me (actually several pages of this thread) that you wouldn't (or anyone else not banned for wrong think) have responded if that were the case with the meme.

That may have been the case as well for me at times, truth be told. And to be fair, I am not saying all of the russian populace are protesting because there are videos of supporters for putin not only in russia but in france and uk and elsewhere.

Well if you posted it, I would’ve been a little bit confused. But they are plenty of times in the thread where I call out hypocritical behavior of the Democrats and the party. Hell I have talked about them WITH YOU. So you know you’re wrong when you say I wouldn’t have.

of course, its never so black and white anyways and it's a pretty tough situation to be a part of in the first place. Most of the vitriole I've personally seen is mostly aimed at Putin and his supporting cast of oligarchs

Agreed. I have seen more negative and such for putin than positive. Though I cant help but to wonder what will happen once the war is over

lots of talk of Russia becoming a potential vasal state to China is the fallout which is not good for anyone either. I dunno how realistic that is but it's a scary proposition
