    Unfortunate, but she wouldn’t be the first to be misled by the western propaganda machine.

      Yeah the good old joke about the west being so good at propaganda that “there is no propaganda in the west” is very applicable here. I know quite a few good people, who are just not media literate enough to understand when they are being duped. And to be fair, the propaganda is constant, and from birth. To be anti-NATO in a NATO country is not something you just stumble into being, you actually have to read, and actively understand how the world works.

      Not trying to excuse anyone here by the way, it just makes me sad when people I otherwise have liked fall to propaganda. I hope they learn, they are still young, and god knows I had some stupid beliefs when I was 18-20 years old.

      Edit: Pronouns, sorry

        Yeah I get it. It makes me sad for the person and angry at the people that did this to them in the first place. Attacking a person for falling to propaganda only helps those that spread the propaganda by pushing those infected away from us. If some kid makes a dumb remark and you scream at him it’s just going to push them into the arms of the enemy. We have to try and reason with them if there’s a chance they aren’t engaging in bad faith. And from her track record I don’t think she started out as a puppet. If we immediately ostracized every potential comrade for something they said that was propaganda, when they do not know better, then we would have very few comrades.

      Greta Thunburg quote tweets: “This ecocide as a continuation of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes.”

      Original tweet: Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine · Jun 6 Russia blew up Ukraine’s Kakhovka dam wrecking havoc on civilians and the environment downstream on the Dnipro river. Russia’s army was squandered in Ukraine, so it chose to employ water as a weapon. However, this will only increase Ukraine’s resolve to drive them off our soil.

      Greta Thunberg on Twitter reacting to dam breach : This ecocide as a continuation of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes.

      experts are saying that killing leopards can also be classified as ecocide
