The problem is - majority of everyday Joe and Jane’s want to feel good anbout themselves and support the right and just cause. Nobody is inherently evil. They have no time to dig into causes and effects of events that took place 100 years ago sparking a slow burning conflict that erupted yesterday on the other side of the world. Hence they rely on media they trust. Be that TV, papers like The Economist or China Daily or your favorite Joe Rogan or the next big thing coming up hot off the press on Musks X.
It is generally difficult to expect everyone to bonafide educate themselves about issues that do not directly concern their daily life. Do not forget that due to the fact that western civilization has developed faster than Asian or African in 20th century - there is an inherent belief that “we know it better over here”. Tables are slowly being turned, but you would not realise that unless you travel to China or Africa or Russia as a part of your job and interact with those countries outside of your domestic MSM propaganda bubble.
And then there is PARD, full of sweet summer children with opinions about everything and everyone. Myself included.
if putin already lost the war then why is ukraine still fighting. i am confused.
