I don’t understand the ultimate goal here. What is the point of this meme that has been flooding lemmy lately? Liberals follow major media outlets. Major media outlets like simple stories of good and bad. So they conveniently ignore things that don’t fit into that narrative…but the same is true of every single world event.

What is the ultimate point of this? It’s obviously not to point out what I just stated. There is a goal here and it seems…like supporting Russia, a global superpower and aggressor, in a war against—what is being painted here as just a bunch of nazis. The unspoken message here is, “you don’t want to support a bunch of nazis. Go russia.”

Am I…missing something?

It’s becoming abundantly clear that you guys heard the buzzword “whataboutism” and are desperate to use it. But please point to what you think is whataboutism here. I was asking if people here are pro-Russia. And I very much got my answer
