...as you mentioned the "all singing from the same hymn book" sort of thing concerning Ukraine/Russia, I posted a while back about a TV series I was watching where in a scene where one woman is holding another woman prisoner in the cellar, the one holding the prisoner goes into a diatribe about wicked people, mentioning a few, including Putin, saying "We all know he's a psychopath".
Ok, no big deal maybe, but it was said so casually and just highlighted to me how comfortable the writer and all those involved with this production (including the actors) were with including this line, almost as if they knew they were singing to the choir and it would just be accepted as fact, without even a flicker of dissent...like members of a club, all nodding sagely to each other.
Stuff like that just jumps out at you when you are used to seeking out alternatives to the msm bollox.
