That’s by far the most frustrating aspect of the whole thing. It’s not like they were hiding this. You can literally read articles like this, published in mainstream press explaining in detail why the US wanted to have a proxy war with Russia. It’s all in the open, and yet we’re still having these struggle sessions with people adamantly denying that this is a proxy war.
I wonder if this is a bit like how climate scientists feel; having a very large body of evidence clearly saying that climate change is upon us, yet we choose to disregard it anyways.
As the brother of a climate scientist let me assure you the climate scientists I know are beyond black pilled, while my sibling was getting their PhD they would be bombarded with ads from anti climate change lobbying groups trying to convince her that climate change was fake or she can make a bunch of money peddling fake science. They’ve been ignored since the 1980s 55 years of having our head in the sand and this shit is going to come back to bight us in the ass so hard in the next decades. To be fair at least the USA let James Hansen speak to congress in the USSR you were just ignored and then called an enemy of the state if you were an environmentalist.

that’s a very similar scenario now that you mention it
It makes me wonder if expecting people to read m/l theory is an unrealistic expectation.
