Title, I'm a leftist but after reading some things on lemmygrad and here it seems I might have been lied to all my life. I have talked with some people from Cuba and Venezuela (expats) that support the west narrative about poverty and mismanagement. I "believe" that Russia is attacking Ukraine for selfish reasons and that China censors access to foreign information using the Great Firewall, please prove me wrong. Furthermore, it ultimately depends who do you want to believe or there are hard facts from reputable sources that are simply a hidden by the mass media?
EDIT: Thanks everyone for your very civil responses. I'll answer as many as I can!
Why would you uncritically believe the sources that riled up the public for the War on Terror? Why do they want you to care so much about the war in Ukraine vs any number of coups America has been involved in? Why did they all claim Russia blew up Nordstream with zero followup when it was uncovered that it was likely from the other side?
