What's really ironic is that if anybody else would've posted articles from nytimes or forbes it would be "western propaganda". But, these particular articles support his narrative so these are OK

"they are using the sources I uncritically accept when propagandizing to show me that even if I take them at face value, I believe in false stuff, isn't that ironic?" How do you not see the point?

It's really easy to find sources with primary evidence in non western media, but you'd go "propaganda!!" so we show you the only sources that you will accept and it's "lol but you said it was propaganda, so it's immediately invalid for you". Not even a child is that unserious.

It's easier talking sense into a dog than western libs I stg.
