      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.

          Well in a sense the winter would last the rest of our lives.

      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.

      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.

      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.

        I wish we had a wiki. That would be so much more efficient than the way we compile information now.
