Its funny how third way neoliberalism champions a pragmatic realpolitik, yet every time push comes to shove all the analysis becomes instantly clouded by narrow minded moralizing, by jingoistic obstinance, by doomsaying warhawks, by bullshitters dressing up extremist militant nazis and terrorists as freedom fighters. Obama campaigned on taking a smarter tack to foreign policy than GWB's bull in a china shop and said iraq and afghanistan were shortsighted and misguided. And then promptly went into Libya, Yemen and Syria like a moron.

When people like Mearsheimer or yours truly are talking about America's national interest in ending the Ukraine war (or not having gotten into it in the first place, but that's spilled milk), we're just taking to heart what neoliberals pretended to believe in for so long.
And the insanity ensues when we ship heavy weapons to nazi war criminals, host fantasy-land summits about the future of eastern ukraine by exiles who will never return to power, sabotage pipelines and then turn around and talk about a 'rules based world order'

Stick to your MSM channels and Ruzzia kaput Denys Davidov propaganda vids if cannot handle the fact that Ukraine is losing comrade.

"nobody should take your comments seriously"

Proceeds to post a youtube clickbait with "ggwp" in the thumbnail

Krinky disaster is a fact, there's absolutely no clickbait involved.

The Ukrainians have admitted this and for once even released casualty numbers.

You don't know what you're talking about comrade

It's been a disaster a year ago and still is. Took time for them to admit it. I doubt they did it for any other reason but dismissal of Syrsky.

Youtube has been actively and heavily censoring + removing any coverage of the war that it disagrees with.
Any youtube video about the war has been screened to fit their agenda.

e- yt has been doing it for over a year now.

Sure

Another example of Western censoring and double standards

I think US legislative branch needs to pass an All or Nothing free speech bill when it comes to digital entities having comment sections posing as some kind of open and public town square forum that doesn't even follow its own policy.

I agree 100% that Youtube has gone to North Korea levels of censorship in the USA with Ukraine/Ru and Israel/Gaza. For Ukraine, nearly all mention of Azov, Nazi association, factual dollar spends, criticism of conscription methods all largely censored. For Israel, any criticism claiming its similar to genocide or apartheid state, giving statistics from well known institutions about death counts, or mentioning how war is financed, censored. Even some prominent Youtubers, like the Asian Clear Value Tax guy, took down his video about how all US citizens being cheated when it comes to Ukraine and Israel. Probably realized he was about to be de-monetized.

At least armpit sites like Reddit (after the mass purge) keep the comments around that are downvoted. Youtube just disappears your shit.
