Lucky you! I hear a lot of it. Here is a summary, if you wish -- everything is USA/NATO's fault; war is horrible and the best way to end it is to stop supporting Ukraine and convince them to give up; if you say anything negative about Putin or doubt his words, then you are a hysterical warmonger and the good and decent people should make sure that you will be properly punished for that.
> the infantilization of the subject in the West is depressing.
For me the depressing thing is the assumption that 50% of media in the West should be the voice of Russian trolls, otherwise something is wrong with the West.

I don’t want to watch Russian propaganda anymore than I want to watch Ukrainian or US propaganda for that matter. You completely missed my point. What I don’t want is for someone else to decide what I can watch for me.
