This is such an effective propaganda trick, it strikes people right where they're most vulnerable, in their hearts, by showing someone you could fall in love with killed in a war that naturally takes lives and commits attrocities in both sides. We all have simple monkey brains at the end of the day, and that can be very easily exploited by those with power.

History never ends, eventually I believe and hope that people will look back at us in wonder of our stupidity, and the few of the few of us that get to be remembered in history will be finally recognised as beyond their time, just like we think of the Greek philosophers today.

Take care and keep a glimpse of hope, it's all we've got

But you're perfectly fine with working for imperialist wars across the globe

I'm glad that you'll never reproduce at least

Any remote login happens via VPN.

I don't support this, but you don't need VPNs for remote logins. SSH exists, it's just that VPNs are a better solution for companies among other things.

While the bright and "civilized" Europeans were in the dark ages, the Middle East took our science and continued it, saving it from disappearing entirely.

You can believe in the barbarian narrative about them if that makes you feel better about your national history, but it's entirely untrue.

It is therapeutic to hear the words of reason at times like these were irrational uneducated "opinions" are flung around more than ever.

World history should be mandatory in every country and tested exhaustively. Kids are able to consume the information, as long as they're not forced to remember the absolutely useless information of it and focus on the actual point of learning history instead.

Of course it's not to the benefit of individual countries for its citizens to be fully educated, especially when their history consists of taking advantage of the whole world and causing way more misery than the one they're accusing others of.

More importantly, people should take the initiative to self educate and read books in their spare time. It's hard and time consuming, but your opinion honestly doesn't matter much when you don't know what the hell you're talking about and yet feel fully confident about it.

Please educate yourself, you're embarrassing yourself and your people.

The US is just as propagandized as Russia and China and it shows.

I feel you, I just accept that it's tough to break the mindwashing and that they're still good people at heart, just confused and uninformed

Its physically painful that most people think like this. Then they point fingers and say that other countries use propaganda and their citizens are clueless about reality.

We have a voteable communist party in my country, it's never going to get elected. People are either dumb as bricks or corrupt, and so is the system. The whole system is hopeless, I don't think we'll ever see real change without seeing violence first.
