      This is like the exact opposite of magic words of power. Magic words of impotence

      How do those logical fallacies apply here? I’m confused.

      Billionaire mouthpieces are all the same even if you believe they are different.

      That’s kind of what this meme is saying.

    Don’t get second opinion syndrome. Just because the “good guys” are actually bad, doesn’t mean the “bad guys” aren’t also bad.

      Good guys and bad guys don’t exist in real life though, because real life has no screenwriter. Better to learn the perspective of all parties and cross-reference them like an investigator

      Whoops lol just noticed your quotation marks, seems like you probably roughly agree

    • I am able to read and think critically. How can you understand anything if you don’t read it and apply critical thinking to it? If you just read one side of media you are missing part of the picture.

      I also don’t live where you do. I don’t think Russia is any worse than the US or Europe.

      True, it would ideally be “local bourgeoisie vs international bourgeoisie” but I worry that would make the meme less comprehensible to non-marxists

    • I don’t think you understood the meme at all. It is someone pearl clutching about RT, namely people like yourself on lemmy.world on c/worldnews while not understanding it is the same bullshit they are currently reading. I never said RT wasn’t, in fact I’m implying they’re the same.

      • The real answer is that we’ll never know because they “kill themselves” or have “accidents” and it doesn’t go on CIApedia as a journalist murder. Just like the Boeing whistleblowers and the original leaders of Black Lives Matter.

      Post-Soviet Russia has absolutely had an organized crime problem. The violence journalists face there strikes me as more reason to celebrate their work rather than censor it.

    Yeah, but they also hype nuclear war and tell everyone how cool it would be to bomb every major city in Europe. Its a pick your propaganda.
