I'm being so brave right now about a podcast I used to like swallowing the Russian propaganda kool aid.
#how disappointing#it was a podcast about the rise in antisemitism so I was hoping it would address how bad it's getting in leftist spaces#but instead I listened to the first ten minutes and the host kept only giving examples of right wing antisemitism#everyone already knows right wing antisemitism is bad. it's baby level knowledge ffs#and then they said 'British police are probably the most antisemitic people in the world right up there with UKRAINIAN NAZIS'#I couldn't take them seriously after that#Ukraine actually has one of the lowest percentages of neo nazis in Eastern Europe#Here are some stats: only 5% of Ukranians stated that they would not like to have Jews as their fellow citizens#which isn't great#but when you compare it to these percentages when the following countries were asked the same question:#14% in Russia and Hungary#16% in Greece#poland 19%#Romania 22%#32% in Armenia#hmm doesn't pass the sniff test#almost like the host has a bias#Russia would love you to think Ukraine is Nazi heaven#I used to like this podcast#as of today I will no longer listen to them#i operate on the woeful philosophy that facts matter#antisemitism#Also while I'll never be right wing I no longer call myself a leftist#way too much fucking hate coming from 'progressives' now#you are not immune to propaganda
