    Reactionary Media is the UK’s largest international export. Everyone loves to throw a fit over Vladimir Putin. Nobody wants to acknowledge Rupert Murdoch, Robert Maxwell, Jonathan Harmsworth, or Paul Marshall.

    Same with the damned yankees. You’re choking yourself to death on home grown AI slop fresh off the Mark Zuckerberg Shrimp Jesus Machine, but it’s evil foreigners who are to blame when you elect a new Ronadl Reagan.

      You know something’s wrong when you can’t even comment on an attack by a hostile nation without someone using the phrase “evil foreigners” in a sarcastic accusatory tone to make everyone think of racism to try and dismiss the accusation.

      Honestly, I wish everyone loved to throw a fit over Putin. Seems like the west is mostly ignoring him, or secretly on his side. Same with western media. But I’m sure it wouldn’t feel that way if you were on Russia’s side.

      Also, “Reactionary Media”? Are you implying Russia is some kind of progressive here?

        The hostile nation is the host nation. The calls are coming from inside the house.

      I agree with what you’re saying but this is not the thread to complain about our own billionaires influence. It just comes across as tanky.
