    You’re not getting it are you?

    Every piece of news that comes out of the West is propaganda. Propaganda so you keep believing that capitalism is good, the West is good, to the point you can’t even tell what is or isn’t propaganda.

    The fact of the matter is, they are gonna want you to maintain these thoughts about Russia being bad, they just “invaded unprovoked”, because if people discover that they’ve been lied to this entire time they’d be pissed off and never believe anything they had to say again.

    Well. The sensible ones.

      I guess I’m not getting it, but I am sincerely trying.

      To your elaborarion, I think that the cracks have been forming in unregulated capitalism for a long time, and I agree that there is a neoliberal tilt in even the most well-meaning of journalism. It took me a very long time to see it because it (capitalism) was the background to everything. Only when I started exploring philosophy and economics did I understand that there were alternative ways of life.

      I appreciate your replies because I agree with you more than I realized. The good news is that I also believe the upcoming generation sees the flaws in capitalism as well, and they’re as sick of it as we are.

      I don’t follow your meaning on the Russia stuff, but appreciate your time and effort. I’ll give your words more thought.
