regardless of the veracity Ukraine is controlled by neo-Nazis narrative, sounds like there's all sorts of fascist lumpens on the pro-Russian side

When I played Balance of Power I would always sponsor the Front de libération du Québec and then send my military up to Canada but the Soviets would go DEFCON 1 about it and the game would end, which seems inaccurate

We need to get the movie version going asap so we can have the lib version where Zelenskyy is a hero who beats Russia with the help of Wakanda and Iron Man instead of the guy who got got by the US Grima Wormtonguing him and then ended up either shot by Russia or his own country's nazis so one or both of them could install more compliant and reliable puppets

He will say "Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man" in an epic martyrdom scene and then all the Avengers show up dressed in black at his memorial service while IRL he's safely evacuated to Dubai

honestly some of the stuff reminds me of reading what Japanese propaganda during WW2 was like.. And then you see interviews with Ukranians (I watched a chess GM being interviewed who's stuck in Kyiv right now) where they parrot this poo poo back to the interviewer.. they are completely immersed in the propaganda, and it's going to bring about an ugly end to the conflict when they are convinced that their army was stabbed in the back since they were winning so hard.

I dunno if Armenian troops or Tigray fighters were any more clear-headed about how their respective wars were going

I always did wonder what all of those empty buildings in Tokyo-3 were for in Evangelion. Seems like the show just did it to evoke Godzilla and kaiju films in the destruction. But it would be funny if someone planned out a city with a lot of dummy military-only buildings that are used in the case of an invasion. Basically vertical embedded bunkers for urban warfare.

I don’t even know if they did or not, but I’m just saying that making fun of a civilian for getting killed by being a completely non-military target is bad, and claiming to denazify a country while accidentally attacking such a memorial is also bad.

I wonder if anything’s happened to any Holodomor memorials

So is the general cspam consensus still basically:

Both sides have Nazis

Ukraine war is the fault of westward imperialism and expansion

Russia is also imperialist, but just trying to keep bay of pigs style poo poo off their borders and has the right to do so

Ukraine is signing up for a meet grinder when they could easily just surrender and save untold innocents?

That basically it?

There is no C-SPAM consensus other than trying and failing to be LF
