“The Ukraine conflict is one of the clearest examples of good vs. evil in the past century"
You said it! Look at how despicable these people are!

In Canada, they're suiciding people for being blinded in one eye, or just poor. Kids too.
In October 2020, a report stated that MAiD would cut healthcare costs by over $66 million. Canada will expand the pool to include the mentally ill and “mature minors.”

NATO is here to keep the Americans in, the Russians out and the Germans down.
Germany is the real enemy here. Here's a good rundown of the idea. Even if you disagree you should be aware of it, and understand how events developing favor this narrative. If you haven't heard of the MacKinder Thesis, now would be a good time to start. Keeping Russia and Germany apart is the crown jewel of American domination overseas.

Have you seen Babylon Bee's video satire "Californians move to Texas"? I had to pause the video at several points because I was laughing so hard. It's become a serial now. Here, enjoy it for yourself.

If she wasn't mentally healthy, how can she consent to kill herself?
Or did the doctors decide for her? That's even worse. We're getting into Aktion T4 territory here.

but the reality was a small, bald little man-child who wouldn't register as a 4/10 on the attractiveness scale.
Oh man. Wait till they hit 30.
I recently saw this comic posted on a far-left site of a person holding a photo of a young femboy catgirl making a cute face, while looking at the same person at 30, bearded and drinking at the bar in a rumpled jacket and tie, still with the cat ears and tail. Wish I still had the link.

Look at the opinion polls, it's pretty bad. Their disapproval of America is right up there with Islamic countries.
Or it was last I checked. I suppose it's increase ever since we provoked this war. People become popular when they're temporarily useful. Like in WWII, the British suddenly started cheering for the Irish ("There never was a coward where the shamrock grows") or blacks and women became popular in the US because their labor was valuable. But the thing about being temporarily useful is that whenever the emergency comes to an end, it's right back to the old way again.

is being propped up against the will of the German people (haven't heard of any revolutions there, as of late) as an American puppet
Yeah, pretty much. Germans want the US occupation out. It's pretty widespread, but the German government has to keep the Americans in otherwise the Americans will do very bad things to Germany. Moreover the US troops aren't just there to defend against Russia, but to maintain American access to European markets. Crazy conspiracy theory, right? Well, it comes from Alexander Haig.
Q -- Why is the United States still stationing 70,000 troops in Germany?
A -- A lot of good reasons for that. This presence is the basis for our influence in the European region and for the cooperation of allied nations whose security it enhances. A lot of people forget it is also the bona fide of our economic success. The presence of U.S. troops keeps European markets open to us. If those troops weren't there, those markets would probably be more difficult to access.
Q -- I didn't forget. I just didn't know that if the United States didn't maintain 70,000 troops in Germany, European markets might be closed to American goods and services.
A -- On occasion, even with our presence, we have confronted protectionism in a number of industries, such as automotive and aerospace. In addition to economic benefits derived from our presence in Europe, there is perhaps an even more important diplomatic and political benefit.

There's a lot of this stuff out there which is common knowledge among elites, but not well known to the public. It's out there though, you can find it if you know where to look.

Lucky for Europe that they run a gargantuan $60 billion trade surplus with the US. They can easily afford the US gas, and it will be warmly welcomed as helping to pare down that unfair surplus.
Trade is supposed to be equal, with both parties benefiting.

I said it. I'm not a bot. But I have learned I am really, really good at causing cognitive dissonance and shaking people out of what they "know" to be true with evidence to the contrary. The Ukraine conflict is good vs. evil, right? But then you turn it on its head and present evidence that we're on the side of the Nazis, who are pure evil. Blammo, brain explodes.
People really, really don't like it. Boy, they don't like it. They especially don't like when I back it up with facts from "their" sources like NPR. They don't like it so much that they will come up with conspiracy theories like "U R a bot" to wash away the cognitive dissonance.

Basic stuff. Really, really basic. Like showering every day, loving your children, shouldering responsibility for your life, being the changes you want to see, planning the life you'd like to have, going somewhere that's good enough so that the going is worth the while. So, so many people don't even do this, but it's that they don't even ask the questions in the first place. Or even know that they should be asking these questions. It's really sad.
In earlier ages, we had elders who would instruct the young. They knew what they had to do. Hunt the buffalo, weave baskets, fetch water, form families, respect the land, live such that your ancestors would be proud. Now that's gone and it's causing profound suffering.

Much like the Hunter Biden laptop, the story quickly becomes about the censorship instead of the original story.
Grandpa, what's a bad check?
The difference is that these crimes are committed by top officials in our government. Journalists are supposed to be on top of this, ripping them a new asshole so that they're too scared to even try - but now they have turned their coats and now work for our enemy.
