If you have ever used "GPT" (I guess they meant "ChatGPT") you know that's not true, the grammar and it's way too colloquial / lazy for it to be generated by it

This is propaganda and you don't even know it... People get silenced in the US every day because they have a different opinions on current events, for example the US proxy war with Russia. I always noticed when certain amount of decades pass it's okay to say certain things, like "Allende was assassinated by the CIA", but back then you'd get persecuted to even mention that. Yes, when it doesn't matter you can say what…

Here you are tacitly expressing your opinion about “the proxy war”.

Hope you don’t get persecuted too hard.

It was Russia that decided to invade a sovereign country for annexation. Not the other way around. And of course everyone is free to disagree with your take. You are not being "silenced" or "canceled", you are being told your opinion is completely contrary to fa…

More propaganda, listen to the other side... oh well it's banned everywhere.

Julian Assange is thrilled we live in such a free and open society where revealing the wrongdoings of government is protected.

A much darker problem is that people disagree to extraordinary extents as to what counts as "wrongdoing".

Well yes, because what "wrongdoings" were exactly exposed with the full leaking of diplomatic cables for example?

It mostly just embarrassed the US foreign ministry. I mean as a german I can live with that, but I fail to see Assange as a hero in this instance.

That's what it is, but okay, I'll probably get banned here for saying that anyways :), the free world woo!

Both things can be true. Yes, Russia is 100% responsible for this war, and yes, the US (and others) are fighting a proxy war through Ukraine in good old cold war style.

Another way to say it without the added narrative is to simply say Ukraine has allies, and the USA is one of them.

or we are just more subtle about it.. assange is still in prison, mainstream media is comical etc

I think the US certainly has some issues but it's still a million times better than Russia et al. There are degrees of evil.

Gobal opinion is pretty clear that Russia are majorly in the wrong right now.

However, global opinion hasn't forgotten what America did in the Middle East. And South America. And in America. And is doing still.

No country except America thinks that we are "a million times better than Russia", I promise you.
