It’s just incredible how consistent views are under the western propaganda umbrella. Yeah, we’re pretty consistent too, but it’s weird seeing it from the outside. There’s no critique, there’s no self-reflection, there’s often no logic or perspective of any kind. They keep yelling “sovereignty” like it’s a magic word and they think it means something.
Unfortunately it’s also really boring. The same people with the same childish understanding and incurious diet of media saying the same things over and over and over and over. I wish more of our team would disengage. I’m certainly not getting any wiser going through these conversations on repeat and I don’t think anyone else is, either.
It is pretty wild. I really hope they’re taking the piss because the alternative is kind of frightening for what it says about humans.
I think it mainly just says that humans prefer comfort and stability above everything else. These aren’t people we’re fighting in the streets, it’s someone browsing an internet forum while they have their morning coffee. There’s no risk to what they do when they “umm acktually” a tankie.
They want to be content, they want their life to be comfortable. They want to put in the least amount of effort possible to keep it that way. The reason Chinese peasants in the 1940s were so eager for theory is because it offered the promise of that stability their lives had been lacking.
As conditions worsen in the west we will start to see fewer and fewer of these status quo defending debatelords, as the status quo will become a less and less defensible position.
