Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam?
nedwben@lemmy.ca 11 hours agoHey, I’m back. Tried to tell him Russia the started the war, but it he was so adamant about this dam. I had no knowledge of it was impossible to break through.
Probably not going to go back to my coworker, because I just can’t afford to open that can of worms. But I did genuinely need to know. I live in a disinformation riddled hotspot. I try to stay on top of the truth and the small truths bad actors sprinkle in the lies.

Well now you are armed with that info for next time. I too have trouble standing up to misinformation. It’s a problem where I won’t just spout things I haven’t verified and can source, no matter how true I THINK it is. It’s baffling how others can just howl into the nothing about things they heard somewhere and are positive it’s true.
Last time I was sure of a point during one of those sorts of discussions it was amazing to see the deflation in the room. “What do you mean?”
I mean you guys are idiots, here’s where you can verify that. I didn’t say that because neither of them seem that far gone, they are the helpful idiots. And suddenly the whining about being a victim of a non existent problem quieted down.
