    I implore you to move out of your echo chamber and actually pay attention to the points being obvious to anybody not being tied exclusively to propaganda pages. Some news sources aren’t just for delusional tankies and a source not being exclusively Russian astroturfing crap does not mean it’s wrong.

      It’s virtually impossible to be in an “echo chamber” when living in a Five Eyes country. Or rather, it’s virtually impossible to not be stuck in the Five Eyes liberal echo chamber. You would have to go full Kaczynski, living in a shack in the woods.

      As if we weren’t—and aren’t still—exposed to exactly the same life-long indoctrination, education, and propaganda as everyone else in the imperial core. But somehow we, who looked beyond the cultural hegemony in which we’re surrounded, are the ones living in a bubble.

      This is just vague mockery, it isn’t a point. I’ve only been able to come to the conclusions I have because I don’t live in an echo chamber, and seek sources not just from the west but also the east and other global south perspectives. Communists aren’t delusional, no matter how much you may think we are.

        This is not about being a communist or not. You made statements, I asked for sources and all you could provide was a list of articles that were mostly unrelated to the far reaching points you made and even if they weren’t consisted mostly of unsubstantiated leftist ramblings. I never said you were delusional, but if you can’t provide meaningful sources for your far reaching claims then you can’t expect me to go beyond illustrating how you act because there’s nothing else to discuss.

          I did find meaningful sources, you just stuck your head in the sand as soon as it said something counter to what you believe. What am I supposed to do in that case?

            You didn’t find meaningful sources. And I certainly didn’t stick my head anywhere. I read the articles. The point still stands that most of them had absolutely nothing to do with your points except their general bias. You’re supposed to give meaningful sources that are relevant to the points you stated earlier. Come on, it’s not hard. Except if there’s nothing to back up your claims, or course.

              I did find meaningful sources, you rejected them because what they said goes against your understanding. It’s a thought-terminating ideological backflip.
