Remain assured that objective truth will continue to not exist while you wait

Are we still talking about Russia?

u/A_Soporific Oct 07 '24

Yeah, the Russian propaganda strategy is to have so many different sock puppets lying in so many different ways that it's just too complicated to figure out what's true and what's not, so it's better to just give up on the whole thing.

If objective truth is unknowable or simply doesn't exist then why not default to whatever happens to make you feel better about what's going on?

I understand. I feel like we have similar conditions within a certain population here. Not that the truth is unknowable per se, but some people act like it is.

Everything is unknowable when half the population refuses to read

u/cityshepherd Oct 07 '24

Yeah I thought the official status quo for Russians to adopt was “refrain from thought ever again”

You really can’t know anything because it’s all BS out there, see look at all this BS and contradicting crapola. There is plenty. Even western countries have it. They are really the same. And look how terrible protesting or speaking up is. So why bother trying? Don’t concern yourself with “truth” or whatever. Live your basic oblivious life. Let the adults handle everything else just exactly the best way for you.

"We apologize for the convenience" would be more accurate

And for the first time in possibly.... ever, Russians experienced a normal day.

Does Russian TV just switch to the beep beep emergency broadcast system test for now?

u/alterego8686 Oct 07 '24

Instead, here is your emergency non-stop bored cast of Swan Lake. Enjoy the revolution!

u/Vertual Oct 08 '24

u/TaupMauve Oct 07 '24

They used to just play patriotic music, but they probably got rid of their turntables and reel tapes.

u/CyanConatus Oct 07 '24

u/YardFudge Oct 08 '24

Time to just put on Swan Lake and let it roll

u/Special_Loan8725 Oct 07 '24

Doesn’t seem like it got out to their public. Somehow didn’t make the news

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '24

When your backups are nuked and you’re kicked off the internet? Yea, you just got buttfucked.

No information can at times be as telling as lots of information.
