Saying that people who disagree with you do so because of propaganda isn't a helpful way of looking at the world.

EDIT: Just saw the company I am keeping. This is not a pro-war comment.



It really feels like a pro-war comment. You seem to be missing a lot of context, at best.


We're going a bit off topic here but I'll expand a bit.

If we both (presumably) start from the premise of "this invasion is a bad thing", then following this up with "anyone who supports it is just a moron duped my propaganda" and/or "the Russian administration are simply crazy" isn't helpful. This did not happen in isolation, it happened against a backdrop of decades of western failures in diplomacy & deterrence.

That's worth examining if we wish to prevent future wars.


I said neither of those things


Apologies for strawmanning you
