    To those cheering on explosions at population centers: I hope one day on the way to work you’ll recognize yourself and your family as a piece of “infrastructure”

      If they don’t want it happening to them maybe they shouldn’t do it to their own people for 8 fucking years without stopping. Thankfully the people Ukraine and their Nazis were genociding and burning alive are now part of Russia.

        1. whataboutism
        2. justifying murdering civilians not involved in military
        3. Thankfully the people Ukraine and their Nazis were genociding and burning alive are now part of Russia.

        You meant to say they’re Russia’s cannon fodder and so called military “volunteers”. So now you have a choice to die on the front lines or in a work camp – and yet they prefer that over migrating to Russia during those so-called 8 years genocide. Makes perfect sense

        Meanwhile, I just learned that I have a distant relative who fled Russia to avoid conscription for Putin’s failing war. It doesn’t even make sense, the guy’s in his 50’s. Now he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to return.

            How are there not better sources than that? For all I know the book is Russian propaganda and the Telegram channels are conspiracy theorists who will say anything to convince me. Are there no videos and pictures of the events? 3rd party news sites? Anything cross-referencable?

            If I spent effort researching every rabbit hole someone on Lemmy said “trust me bro, you’ll understand after you dO yOuR rEaSEaRcH” I would be 80yrs old and hardly any more informed by now

              I think I’ve seen enough “behind the scenes” material from what is evidentially constructed attacks, I don’t think the presence of videos or pictures are great indicators if something is truthful.

              I think I’ve seen enough articles challenging whatever current narrative the mainstream holds disappear, I don’t think the lack of third party news articles is a great indicator that it never happened.
