in 2022 my political understanding was befitting of someone my age (read, underdveloped), but as i’ve grown and radicalized i’ve always reflected on the narrative with the ukraine war in the west and how i saw it as i would say an ‘average’ person in the west’s sphere of influence. it’s a miserable terrible war on every level, but i feel like i can acutely describe the narrative the west used and i believed/what others believed. every day it genuinely stuns me how much the west obfuscates about the war so much so that bringing up western articles pre-2022 discussing the very through-lines that follow into this war/things the ukrainian state has openly said and done during this war is basically social suicide if you are in literally any english speaking space.
it surprises me that the palestinian narrative could somewhat break through to the general populace (yes, it’s being harshly repressed but so so many people on an individual level have broken through and now carry skepticism for the ‘mainstream’ view), but it remains that any questioning of the solidly pro-ukrainian narrative is taboo, even actors such as azov or other neo-nazi regiments. you legitimately cannot even bring up any fair criticism of ukraine without the accusation of being a war hawk that blindly supports russia. not even saying i ‘support russia’, it’s just that i genuinely grow more stunned and disgusted the more i learn about the forced conscription in ukraine and the ultra-nationalist groups, and you can’t say a single thing about this because in most people’s eyes, they are an oppressed group whose struggle is comparable to the reality of the palestinians.
