Imperial core governments and the corporate media present to us a cartoonish, Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the world that serves the capitalist class’ interests, particularly their imperialist interests. Inventing Reality and Manufacturing Consent laid this out almost 40 years ago.
Ukraine=good=democracy, Russia=bad=authoritarian. Russia’s invasion was unprovoked because history began on Feb. 24, 2022. Russia is doing genocide (bullshit), never mind the previous decade of Ukraine-backed neonazis genociding the people of the Donbas; or that, for 30 years, people from Noam Chomsky to Jeffrey Sachs to Henry Kissinger warned against breaking our promise not to expand NATO eastward toward Russia. Russia is an oligarchy, never mind Ukraine’s oligarchic coup government that the US installed a decade ago. Ukraine is a democracy, never mind that it has suspended opposition parties and cancelled elections.
The echo chamber/bubble trope is hilarious because we’re exposed to exactly the same media they are. They’re working with a subset of the information we are and then say we’re in a bubble.
Ukraine=Palestine and Israel=Russia is peak Marvel brain.
What’s Marvel brain? I tried looking it up but just got a bunch of marvel characters with large heads.
Idealist, cartoonish, black & white, good vs. evil thinking. Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists thinking.

For libs, its only propaganda if they disagree with it. If they agree with it then its just objective facts and journalism
I think it’s more Ukraine = Czechcoslovakia, Russia = Nazi Germany. Every justification russia has given I heard germany give in 1938.
Germany=Britain
Benin=Lichtenstein
Yakub = Jesus
