    it’s been pretty funny watching all the people who were howling about Russia’s inevitable loss suddenly having to confront reality. every few months I check in on r/ukraine to get a read on their cope levels

      Hating Russia has become the whole identity for lot of these people. I think that the whole Russiagate conspiracy hoax should be studied as an absolutely masterful piece of social engineering. It forever linked Russia with the election of Trump in the minds of liberals, and all visceral hate they feel for Trump is directly transplanted onto Russia for free. These two things have now become equivalent and interchangeable in the liberal mind.

        It also creates an easy release valve to alchemically convert frustration with our grinding, decaying status quo into racism. All that institutional rot of late capitalism? Yeah, it was the Asiatics actually.

      Even Obama correctly said back in 2016 that Russia will always be able to maintain escalatory dominance in Ukraine. Only people with brains as smooth as bowling balls ever expected Ukraine to defeat Russia.

      One of my favorite recent tropes is liberals lashing out when you link them mainstream lib media like NYT or WSJ explaining that the war is lost.

        Even for such short-sighted people, this must be massive cognitive dissonance. On the other hand, these contradictions may be not enough to make them to some reflection, since postmodernist universities teach people that there is “no objective t uth” and “each opinion is equally true” 🤦🏽

          I always see reactionaries saying that last sentence, and I’m not calling you one, I’m just pointing out that I’ve never ever seen any educational institution say that there is no objective truth or that all opinions are equally valid.

            Maybe I went too far: I meant that present universities have postmodernist mindset (based e.g. on my experience with philosophy graduates), they criticise communism almost equally with fascism as “totalitarianism” and from the tragedy of ww2 they deduce that modernism does not work, so we can not rely on rationalism etc. at least this is my impression

          Hot take: Postmodernism does have some good takes — correctly does call out the subjectivity in the stuff libs call “objective” that are in fact open to other (even better) interpretations. Not saying some takes aren’t more wrong than others or anything though.

            I think nobody denies that some notions are subjective, but postmodernists essentially claim that all truths are subjective

      The trend of reporting how things are really going is definitely on the rise as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep pretending everything’s going according to plan. Not that they’re not trying though. One of my fav recent articles was the one from The Guardian where it just plainly admits that it’s not about winning anymore, but about controlling the narrative

      They also need a better narrative. For much of the last year, the White House has argued that US support should be focused on helping Ukraine retake territory. But this limits US policymakers and makes the failure by Ukraine to retake territory a Russian win almost by default. Instead, the White House should seek to build a new narrative: that this is a war of defence for Ukraine, and a strategic defeat for Russia, and that the US can support Ukraine while also acknowledging that there are other national security priorities that might need to take precedence. This narrative is less aspirational, but more pragmatic.
