    I need photos and videos right now. Ukraine is the good guys in this conflict, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a world class propaganda machine. I need to see proof of this because it’s cartoonishly evil and completely without explanation.

    There’s a lot going on in this commenter’s thought process.

      It’s the psychological effect of the monkey reaching for a new branch, but desperately refusing to let go of the branch they’re already holding.

      Their brain is subconsciously building them an airbag so that when reality becomes undeniable, the sting won’t hurt as much.

      It’s a person having sneaking suspicion that they’ve been rooting for the Nazis the whole time and falling for absolute bullshit along the way, and thus desperate to confirm their biases, to reassure themselves that they aren’t little idiots who fell for blatant propaganda.
