WHOLE QUOTE is:
“Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions to be destroyed.”
Interestingly, this quote appies so well to the anti-Ukrainee Freepers.
However, this quote has not been scholarly attributed to Nietzsche. NOTED: QuoteFail may have it right: “This quote appears to have been created within the Tumblr-verse.”
I agree. Too many of the Putinistas are in denial that their Fuhrer Putler has led Ruzzia into ruin. If Ruzzia can’t defeat Ukraine then what happens if they go up against a REAL enemy? Like China?
So now you are trying to get sympathy? Just because you won't accept the truth about your lost cause in the Ukraine, doesn't mean you'll get any sympathy from me.
Twisting the point to fit your narrative... That was expected.
It would be better written if it said:
“Sometimes people don’t want to see reality because they don’t want their illusions to be destroyed.”
