Russia-Ukraine peace talks are deadlocked by irreconcilable positions; Ukraine's worsening military situation and the end of US aid make an "ugly" deal necessary to avoid defeat.
Before this war I genuinely believed no one could be stupid enough to believe this level of nonsense; the last few years have been particularly illuminating.
Me five years ago: “thank god we have the internet now, and the ability of people to talk with others on the other side of the Earth makes them much less likely to swallow nationalist war propaganda”
Me now: “half of European citizens are fascist white supremacists and at the very least need years worth of reeducation”
Up til now it has been thought that the growth of Christian myths during the Roman Empire was possible only because printing was not yet invented. Precisely the contrary.

Saw somebody say that an explosio in a shopping center in Poland was set by russia to harm the Polish economy and just like… Why? What would be the point of taking an insane risk lile this for the .0000000001% of the economy that any given shopping center provides?

Abducting 700,000 kids and rehoming them, or alternately, deporting 700,000 kids. Why? That costs money? What do they stand to gain materially from that?" They’ll say it’s genocide, but unlike Israel, there isn’t any record of Russian officials or church leaders or even a popular front calling for Ukranian genociding. Then these motherfuckers have the gall to accuse us of conspiracy theories.
The media has successfully convinced them to turn off their brains regarding this
