Redditors just cannot deal with any framework that isn't overtly good vs. bad.

There's no room for nuance or the idea that both sides in a war can be awful. I feel the entire point of simplifying conflict in media to good vs. bad is a big part of the escapism.
UH, they also understand LAW VS CHAOS, and the nuances of things like CHAOTIC GOOD and LAWFUL EVIL.

Russia v. Ukraine is Chaotic Stupid versus Lawful Stupid. Or the other way around. I dunno really, I'm pretty sure of the stupid part though.

I can't believe you ninjaed me on that. As autistic as it is to compare geopolitics to the rules of a game where you fight dragons by rolling geek shaped dice it makes sense.

Okay okay so imagine the MSM is like the DM and putin is a lich, ukraine is an innocent village. Now, the DM isn't going to be honest with you about what the lich is doing, and maybe even the villagers will be lying to your characters too!!
 
Have you guys seen the new tanks NATO is supplying Ukraine? It's all over for Russia when they go mass siege mode.

Putin isn't a lich you dumbass, he's obviously a demi-lich!
 
The Ukrainians don't have much of an incentive for honesty at this point. They're going to lose and their senior leadership is probably going to end up against a wall when this is all over with. They'll do anything they can to manipulate the west into saving them, and the hysterical western media is fully onboard to help spread whatever stories they come up with.

I have no doubt the Russians are capable of epic levels of fuck ups and war crimes, but since the start of this I can count the number of verified truthful statements from the Ukrainian government on one hand.
Seriously, Russia are also lying their asses off and spreading as much propaganda as they can, but so is Ukraine, and only one of those two sides is getting everything banned and flagged down as misinformation.
 
from my internet experience, the actual hardcore basment dwelling NEETs have more of a clue about things and a better grip on reality than the failed normies that inhabit reddit
Not having a life gives you time to really catch up on things. And in order to really rise in modern normie society past being a basic wagie, you have to sacrifice common sense and logic to move up an artificial hierarchy, where promotions are increasingly based on abiding to group think and maneuvering around bullshit office politics.
 
Keep seeing posts that there was shelling at the plant, but so far I've only seen videos of some parachute flares having been launched and then Russian vehicles lighting up the science center. Did I miss something?

Edit:
The live feed got cut earlier and the resulting video was taken down to boot.

There was color video posted earlier that showed red streaks flying through the air and black and white clearly showing shots fired at plant buildings
