It's not special to look at a global phenomenon and think 'I'm going to be a contrarian' and then spout of opposing views and blaming, propaganda, imperialism and the USA for everything.
Yep, this is the general take of libertarians and rightwingers right now.
"Its all CIA, its all imperialism."
Its a cynical and condescending view of the situation. "Ukranians cant want freedom, they cant want a better life that EU offers, they have no agency, theyre just fools that CIA and USA is using."
Its an absolute rubbish take by those that proclaim they stand for freedom and call themselves "freedom fighters" when they post shit online when someone bans Alex Jones.
When faced with people that are giving their lives for freedom, freedom of choice and association they just dont understand it. That ultimate sacrifice confuses them.
This pops the libertarian bubble and shows you that most of these people that slap the "Freedom" label on themselves are as consistent in their beliefs as the leftists are when they say theyre fighting fascism.
Hats off to those that dont align themselves with the mob, which ever side of the spectrum it might be on.
I just grow tired of this need for people, typically conservative/right troll-wannabe types, to be different, even if that means being borderline sociopathic.
Well said.
