I belong to a based family, but the brainwashing that Putin is Hitler reincarnated, is rampant. Because I offer an alternative reason as to why this is happening, I am now labeled a Putin lover. I can't even... Lord, give me strength to keep cool and not explode on those that I love.
I just don't understand how those who know the media has lied to us repeatedly for years now - especially the past five, suddenly believe they're telling the truth? I have pointed out that there is propaganda on both sides and that those loudest about Ukraine are the most corrupt in our country, but it falls on deaf ears. "Putin is going to start WWIII, the US needs to take him out now!" is the subject the latest family group text. I have chosen to not engage this time. Is Putin truly a bad guy? For years all we have heard is Russia bad, Putin bad, and the fact that it comes from the Corporate media alone gives me pause. While I do not know the whole story, I know in my gut that the main narrative is nothing but a ball of lies. Proving this, however, is only as successful as the willingness of others to consider a different reality. My hope is that he (and Trump) are truly taking out the trash and all of this comes to light very soon.
I just showed my relative a 6 minute video of a Ukrainian guy explaining the history of violent US involvement in other countries and the Ukraine and how this "war" is really Ukrainian puppet gov't vs. Ukrainian citizens. She watched it and said "Wow, that's totally different from what I heard." I said that's because the MSM lies constantly. I was happy she was willing to listen to him for those 6 minutes, but then she went right back to consume her daily hours of MSM.
They rely on it like a drug! Like a comfort they can't do without.
was it this one?
Yes.

Thats what happens to the people around me. They listen to me and even ask good questions for an hour. At the end of the hour, "Well I'm just really afraid Putin is going to destroy us all because he's a loose cannon. I don't understand why he's doing this."
Okay, why do I talk to you for an hour showing you evidence of everything and explaining it then? I don't ever believe people on their face, but Putin said he was doing a special operation for specific targets. The media says it's a "full scale invasion." Look at the evidence and the live feed cameras and tell me which one looks true.
Yep. This is the point I made to my husband and for some reason, resulted in him getting angry with me because he just couldn't believe that the media was lying. He is stuck on the "Putin is power hungry" fact.
Mine too. Just can't seem to accept that Putin might be doing something good for us all.
Lmao it's so comforting to hear I'm not the only one observing these outlandish displays of cognitive dissonance. It truly does seem like we've all been intentionally spread apart from one another, almost by design.
100% my situations too fren
