    It’s called cognitive dissonance, the less your worldview makes sense the more tiresome it becomes to hear counter arguments. You used to be able to just dismiss them as „russian trolls“ but now that doesn’t feel right anymore, you feel like you actually have to engage, and this takes energy. Much easier to just shut it out completely, just take comfort in your personal bubble, and only engage with straw men arguments, the ones that are obviously wrong (and hence not used by anyone).

    Have fun in your bubble, have fun believing that Russia is gonna collapse any day now for the coming 8 years, the 57th nuclear sanctions package is really gonna do it, have fun believing that the army that spent 4 years taking Sheviakivka is gonna be in Berlin the week after, have fun thinking the people that sold you the Gaza genocide have the best intentions when they say war is the only answer in Ukraine, wish you all the best.


  • The only reason the western media “cares” about the wellbeing of the Iranian population is as a casus belli to brutalize them more.

    The best the west can do for the Iranian people is to leave them alone. Because if you want to know what a “liberated” Iran looks like, have some fun looking into what happened with Libya after they were “liberated”.

    There are two acceptable conditions for a country in the global south: either a dictatorship under a pliable US-friendly regime, or state collapse. Plan A failed, so guess what’s on the menu if Iran loses this one.
