How much of a pass do you give to people who truly believe what they see in media? (hexbear.net)

Like, libs who think russian troops did all the things they've been accused of in western media. It kinda makes sense for them to cheer on Ukraine's latest terror attack if they truly believe that russians are doing all the warcrimes at the same time. I know in my life it feels like an insurmountable challenge to get someone to read an article from anywhere else in the world.

So, what's your tolerance for someone who truly thinks they're basing their worldview on reality but it actually just regurgitating propaganda?

its mainly cosplay nazism tbh, the obvious fascist state is pisrael, always was, but try convince libs of that. the main issue with ukraine as i see it, is it infecting libs with pre-nazi virus (common enemy, military, austerity, dehumanization, dismissal of "enemy" view), thus their dismissal of this cosplay troubles me greatly, because it portends bad stuff.
