Vaccines have saved millions of lives you know

Heh, look at those idiots over there, they believe in the most obvious propaganda

Anyway, did you know communism killed 100 million people?
I’ve seen that 20% of the people commit 80% of the crime
Our military keeps the world a safer place
Everyone starts with opportunities, you have to earn your place in society, work harder

Crime is out of control and keeps getting worse
Men are natural leaders, women’s nature is to nurture
Billionaires create jobs
Poor people just keep making bad decisions in life
Migrants are taking our jobs
Socialism is when we all share the same paycheck
If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear
If minimum wages go up, everyone will get fired, it’s math
We brought modernity to the countries we colonized
The wage gap is a myth you’re just looking at it wrong
Immigration mathematically causes crime
Developing countries are poor because of corruption
We are the good guys
If workers were worth more, they would be paid more
Universal healthcare is communism
Patriotism means supporting the troops

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA
What are your thoughts on Taiwan?
I like Taiwan, I like China, I know about the conflict and the points both have and that’s about it. I’m neither Taiwanese nor Chinese and I don’t even live near. My opinion is not only non existent, it would be totally useless. Noone would care and I would never voice it. Unless a friend asks me and knows even less.
Why?
I’m curious about your beliefs (and meta beliefs, like this one) regarding commonly propagandized topics. What are your thoughts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
I don’t like it, obviously, but I also don’t know enough to say “Russia bad!” To which the world mostly lean towards. Both sides drown the world in shitty propaganda I totally ignore. And I don’t know places that offer truth. The only truth available is war footage. And that is naked truth. Ugly, dark and sad. And also not revealing anything else beyond both sides doing horrible things.
I have good friends which are Russian and Ukrainian. And we all don’t care. Wouldn’t matter even if we did. Neither Putin nor zelensky will ever ask for our opinion on the war.
We can talk about it, but it would serve no purpose. You might know more, you might know less, and what you know is most likely also false (even if you were Putins/zels right hand). So you either convince me of your false opinion or I convince you of my false opinion. I’d rather discuss ideas, theories or general opinions than those futile topics.
Well met

I think this is pretty obvious. Or should be. I have no problems with Russians or ukranians, no matter what their owners do. They weren’t asked, they are just commanded to die.

Guess the same goes for all people of all wars. And sorry, if one thinks all Russian are bad because “they” invade ukrania, then they’re just dumb. As if ALL people of any country want war. There sure are some, but those probably won’t die in it.
I’m sorry, I can’t answer that.
no one asked you, so… 😂
