Russians Die, and We are Indifferent

Everything that doesn’t fit the narrative is “Russian false flag disinformation propaganda,” even when that explanation is stupid. How come “journalists” loudly insist on “fact-checking” and “debunking” every story from the Russian side? Where was this enthusiasm for “fact checking” when Biden murdered an entire family of 13 people in Kabul, and the Pentagon insisted that there were no civilian casualties? Not only did the media blindly repeat this statement as absolute fact, they continued to repeat the Pentagon narrative long after it was clear they were lying. “Pentagon investigates themselves and finds they did nothing wrong.” Yes, slay, Queen! The peanut gallery applauded.

The War in Ukraine is a War on Our Minds

Nineteen Eighty-Four

I need to finally comment on the torrent of fake news barraging our minds since the beginning of the Russian “invasion” of Ukraine. I know that the majority of these videos and photos are fake, and I have the credentials to back that statement. We are witnessing the single biggest disinformation campaign ever, and I would really like to know how much it cost, in billions USD. We’re probably spending more on this information war than all participants in World War II combined, and I’m not exaggerating.

Fake News Killed the Ukrainians and it is Our Fault

If you’re reading this, you’re probably already beginning to doubt the official narrative the entire western media has been pounding into our heads, and you’re completely correct. This is a terrible tragedy and Ukraine was the primary victim. The Russians didn’t do this to her, we did.

Just because a statement is a lie doesn’t mean the opposite statement is true. The Russian intervention into Ukraine is not the worst thing that ever happened. So yes, the West’s narrative is wrong. This intervention is not literally like the Holocaust like the professional Russia hater Julia Ioffe claimed (It’s a little gross for a Jewish person to casually throw around Holocaust comparisons, especially while condemning anyone else who does it). However, the opposite statement is not automatically true. Sending tanks into Ukraine was not a good thing. But I have not seen or heard even one Russian claim that this was anything less than horrible. They all know this is horrible, but continuing to do nothing would be worse. And this isn’t a statement of reason or logic on their part. It’s a moral statement.
