Previous megathreads:
Don’t forget Ukraine trying to cause a nuclear panic claiming a reactor was gonna go up like Chernobyl to get nato to intervene. That was fucking wild
Yeah, between the people who think that was possible, the people who think Nuclear War is cool and good and not a huge issue, the people who think that Russias nukes will all fail to launch, and the people who have very strange understandings about what a nuclear winter would be (one guy thought it would be a permanent ice age.) I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
Rhodesian supporters joining the Ukrainian forces with Rhodesian insignia, neo nazi Ukrainian mayors getting interviewed on PBS news, Azov battalion training grannies for a photo op, Ukraine inventing Chinese students that don’t actually exist as fake civilian casualties, Zelensky photographs of him in Kyiv actually from last year April and December, Zelensky actually in either Lviv or Poland, Ghost of Kyiv nonsense, Ukraine claiming to have killed 10 000 Russian troops already, Skully/snake island troops actually alive (can’t remember the exact island name), and that’s just what I can remember now.
Ukraine inventing Chinese students that don’t actually exist as fake civilian casualties,
Wait that one was fake? The fuck is wrong with them
May favorite is still the video of the Palestinian girl screaming at an Israeli soldier from years ago being relabeled as a Ukrainian girl screaming at a Russian soldier.
Something about the combination of the brazen absurdity of the attempt and the total media hypocrisy just hits the spot.
The EU unilaterally declaring that member states would provide aircraft to Ukraine
Lindsay Graham calling for the assassination of the leader of a peer nuclear power
Ukraine National Guard proudly posting a video of the Azov battalion greasing bullets with pig fat
PBS casually interviewing a neo-Nazi mayor who had a portrait of Bandera on the wall behind him
The former COO of Ring doorbells in Ukraine doing influencer style posts with a rifle. All posts are in English, of course.
Wine moms using the word “thermobaric” whenever footage of an explosion is posted
People applauding themselves on diagnosing the entire state of Russian logistics based on the brand of tire on a truck
I’ve been keeping a mental list of the bullshit propaganda, like fake Ghost of Kiev, Snake Island sacrificing themselves then miraculously being alive, the nuclear plant, those chinese students getting killed but never existing, all the photos from 2014 and video games passed off as current, Zelensky being in Kiev Lvov Poland Kiev again all while apparently dodging several dozen assassination attempts.
According to Ukraine, Zelensky had dodged Wagner, Spetznaz and normal Russian military assassination attempts already…
Truly an inspiration figure. Good thing everyone is calling him a brave war hero now instead of the corrupt politician he was all the way back in last year
It’s true, just in the last 5 minutes Zelensky has evaded at least 7000 assassins.
I was thinking about this earlier today and wondering if anyone was compiling a list similar to the “Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict” found at the top of each of these megathreads. I was thinking of trying to put one together, but it’s a little beyond my ability rn. Maybe if there was a way for people here to contribute examples to an ongoing list, that might be a good way to go. Maybe someone can make an initial post, then everyone can add in examples with links in the comments, and edit the post accordingly? Kinda what’s happening with your comment here, but as a whole post on it’s own that can also be linked at the top of these megathreads. I dunno, it could never be exhaustive of course, but it would be a great resource, and something I for one really wish I had on hand to use when arguing with libs who think CNN is the bastion of truth with respect to what’s going on.
According to RT, Ukrainian media reports that the Ukrainian secret police has killed one of the Ukrainian negotiators from the first round of talks under suspicion of “treason”. Pro-russian Telegram accounts are sharing a picture of a very dead guy that looks like him.
i don’t even think it’s up to ukraine anymore. there isn’t really a ukraine now. it’s just a cia puppet state. of course anyone trying to negotiate anything that ends with no NATO is gonna get merc’d.
Didn’t a former CIA goon admit that there’s operators in Ukraine right now doing wet work?
Definitely gonna have to wait and see for additional details and confirmation but holy shit thats fucked up if true.
Edit: Ukranian news sites are now repeating it alongside claims from the SBU that they had evidence of high treason in the form of telephone communications.
Also so many fucking libs arguing that summary execution without due process for suspicion of treason is good actually.
These are real refugees: women, children, and elderly should be welcomed in Europe. Now everyone should understand the difference between these refugees and the invasion of Muslim youth of military age who have crossed our borders trying to destabilize and colonize Europe

How do you guys cope with reading cringe after cringe after cringe everywhere, from all news source and social media?
i’m too busy being fucking confused by elden ring
like wtf is a glintstone key this dude won’t even tell me how to get one is this the part of the game where i just wander aimlessly until i find shiny important object like dang wtf yo
i could use a guide but like i want the Sense of Exploration™ but i’m slowly thinking this is just going to be more annoying than satisfying
plus i’m starting to think my strength build might be boring??? i saw my friend casting dragon magic and dude turned his head into a dragon i shit you not it was the funniest shit i’ve ever seen
but i also just like the big sword???
If you keep exploring in the lake/swamp area, either you’ll get pointed towards the key or you’ll stumble onto it by accident.
Also, you get the ability to respec your build like halfway through the game, though you need a rare resource to do so, so you can try out a dragonhead build if you want.
that makes sense, i instead went all the way to the north and got to a lame ass broken elevator then shrugged
didn’t know about the respeccing, that’s pretty rad. been trying to decide between the zweihander and greatsword right now, but i’ll definitely look through my weapons and try to get some solid memes going now that i know i can just fuck my stats up no problem
I know Ukraine isn’t unique in enacting the draft, but can we just acknowledge how absolutely fucked up it is that males 18-60 aren’t allowed to evacuate? The country is holding half its population hostage and forcing them to kill or be killed.
Serious sympathy to all those guys who don’t want to help murder people nor leave their family widowed, they’re totally fucked.
