Hope might not have the best standing at the moment, but I'm right there with you.
Thank you for showing up!
I agree, I was talking more specifically about the strategy of just churning out a barrage of outrage-inducing news that are meant to strengthen the feeling of fatigue and hopelessness with the intend to suppress any meaningful resistance.
Unfortunately his (or his advisor's) strategy seems to work as intended. Does anybody have any ideas, how to counter this barrage, or how to not lose sight of the important stuff?
That's a whole lot of people. Good on them!
Glad you are able to enjoy it in moderation ☕
Additionally, the conservatives are openly and explicitly imitating Trump's antics. "On my first day as chancellor I will..." - No you won't, that's not how it works here.
I realize this is posted on lemmygrad, so I suppose pro-Russia takes are to be expected. But would you mind explaining to me how you justify Russia attacking/threatening to attack other countries when there was 0 chance they would have been attacked by another nation? Are you really claiming that what they re doing is a form of self-defense when they undoubtedly would have been left alone by the EU/NATO, had they not tried to take over a neighboring state?
That reasoning seems ridiculous to me.
