    it’s just now the west has finally started seeing this shit after it’s no more a taboo.

    it makes me wonder if the west will ever come to learn of the ukraine’s nazi-supremecist led pogroms that made the russians intervene in the first place.

    i know that that answer is no since westerners, americans in particular, are heavily propagandized; but some part of me wants to hold out hope since it’s clear that social media has changed the propanda game as evidenced by isreal and social media.

    then again, the anti-ice protests aren’t even on lemmy; so probably not.

      No chance. Remember Thích Quảng Đức, whose selfimmolation photo is one of the most famous and most reproduced photos of XX century and who became the symbol of desperate protest? Most of westerners and westoids seem to think he was protesting against China instead of US-backed South Vietnam regime.

        i want to believe that it’s different now because of social media, but as i said, tiktok is censoring the ice protest and lemmy doesn’t even have it; so you’re probably right.
