Iryna Z Video Revisited: Both Sides Suck
Well, it's been several months now so I wanted to address this issue one final time and hopefully give a bit more perspective. So I made this video about the Iryna Zarutska incident where I claimed it was a hoax. I stand by my statement. I am even more convinced after using what I have learned in AI video generation using face swapping apps to compare the one clear photo of her face from the surveillance footage with other photos that were on the internet at the time. You can look for yourself at the photos above and decide for yourself. I will post the original banned YouTube video here later, as well as posting a video on YouTube that will show more comparisons of other existing photos.
The one takeaway I have from the experience, is that critical thinking is in short supply these days. I had thought that it was the 'left' that was irrational and prone to emotional Pavlovian responses. Boy, was I wrong. It was the first clear signal that this is not a 'sides' issue. Both sides are incapable of change, Hatfields and McCoys. Us townfolk are going to have to break free and fend for ourselves.
