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?

These people externalize evil.

The only people that embody evil are Nazis, fascists, and racists who adulate, materially support, and enact violence on behalf of that ideology.

Liberals are squeamish about embracing this evil, and would rather, through the depraved indifference of inaction and believing they have these fascists on a leash, enable its arrival and contamination into the rest of liberal society.

If Russia can be destroyed, they will know peace. If China can be destroyed, they will know peace. If Iran, If Venezuela, if if if... the list goes on.

Of course, this whole conflict is about cutting Russian gas from Europe, ensuring the US secures its energy market there. After which the goal was to bring Russia into a quagmire that hopefully weakens the Russian state - maybe Balkanizing it - so the Belt & Road Initiative is delayed or defeated.

The vision of the West is to plunge the rest of the world into servitude, poverty, and exploitation to maintain the "garden" that is Europe.
