"This thread isn't propagandist enough, I don't want my beautiful fantasy world being disturbed."

For context: Knockout is a relatively niche forum that was created by users of the more well-known Facepunch forums when the latter closed down in 2019.

Since the war in Ukraine started, they have regularly been having struggle sessions about the contradictions of being a progressive, pro-trans forum, yet also being fanatically pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine. Most of the time they uncritically believe any propaganda the West, Kyiv, or even British tabloids put out, and they will react extremely hostile to anything that dares break the narrative, as seen here.

Edit: Crap, I screwed up the thumbnail somehow.

    She has a bizarre assumption that western military assistance to Ukraine will end the war sooner, when it is clearly prolonging it at this point. Other than the fact that funding a rival power's enemy to prolong a proxy war is a known tactic we've seen the US use multiple times, we also know the west has sabotaged peace talks; Boris Johnson did so openly this year, and Merkel stated that Minsk 2 was purely in bad faith to give Ukraine more time to militarize.
