The more information you consume, the more ideological bias you need to process it in order to filter and make "sense" out of it all. Left media can no longer handle the "right" stream and still pretend to control the Narrative. Their brains are just WAY too small.

Chomsky -- The Putin Apologist? Medium article by Jakub Ferencik, Jun 19, 2023 (excerpt)
I have long struggled with the fact that Noam Chomsky, the famed linguist and political commentator, continuously makes news headlines because of his controversial statements on Russia in recent months and years.
I used to (and still do, to some extent) enjoy Chomsky’s political commentary when it comes to US foreign policy in the Middle East especially.
But recent years have made him less forgiving toward those who disagree with him. He’s quite adamant about his views. And some of them are just obviously false.
Chomsky argues that this is where the two invasions differ. In his view, the large-scale destruction of infrastructure seen in Iraq "hasn’t happened in Ukraine".
Entire cities have been destroyed, such as Mariupol and Bakhmut. Kharkiv, Kherson, and Kyiv have all been bombed.
Western estimates claim that approximately 200,000 lives have been lost on both sides of the conflict -- in just one year. If they are accurate, then this puts the conflict into one of the bloodiest conflicts since the end of The Second World War.
...Chomsky is inaccurate.
At 94 years old, you’d think it should be time to just retire. link
Yeah, what an old loser!... he's gone soft in the head.
...There are two themes in particular that Chomsky made recently that I disagree with:
Free speech in Russia and the US,
and Putin’s violence in Ukraine.
Funny, those are the 2 things I agree with.
...but of course, Chonsky's NOT the "neoliberal-left" like most Americans.
So there hasn't been any large-scale destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine?
Luhansk and Donbas are in Ukraine?
Didn't they vote to become Russia?
Me: Has there been large scale destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine?
Sent by Copilot: Yes, there has been significant destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine due to ongoing conflict. Russian attacks have heavily targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, causing widespread damage to power generation, transmission, and distribution facilities. This has led to severe disruptions in electricity, water supply, sewage, and heating systems, impacting public health, education, and the economy.
The damage is extensive, with estimates suggesting that the conflict has caused around $63 billion worth of infrastructure damage. The situation is particularly dire as winter approaches, with the potential for further displacement and hardship for the civilian population.
It’s important to clarify that while significant destruction has occurred in the Luhansk and Donbas regions, the conflict has also caused widespread damage across other parts of Ukraine. The ongoing conflict has targeted critical infrastructure, including energy facilities, transportation networks, and residential areas, affecting millions of people throughout the country.
The regions of Luhansk and Donbas have indeed seen heavy fighting and destruction, and there have been controversial referendums where some areas voted to join Russia. However, these votes are not widely recognized internationally, and the regions are still considered part of Ukraine by most of the global community.
The impact of the conflict extends beyond these regions, with significant infrastructure damage reported in cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Mariupol. The humanitarian and economic toll is substantial, affecting the entire country. [end copilot response].
You need to start taking your Seroquel again. Or go to your doctor and get a prescription.
The facts on the ground say that Donbas and Luhansk are Russian territories. Pretend all you want.
You were there and spoke in Ukrainian/Russian with the many people you encountered?
Apparently the people in Luhansk voted 98.42% voted in favor of joining Russia and in Donetsk the people voted 99.23% voted in favor.
Those are obviously fake results. Though maybe everyone you encountered was for joining Russia, given that the people who voted against it might now be dead. If your BS assessment of the situation was somehow true.
I also faked the lines of battle? Who knew?
LOL! Good one, Joe!
