      It’s interesting to see how the mental gymnastics attempt to avoid this. I sometimes look at Tiktok and if you go to the comments on anything Russia/Ukraine related it’s very clear to see which accounts are bots/stooges and what their narrative instructions are.

      Their favourite thing to do is to equate the West and Russia. That both do the same thing, and Russia is just more honest about it. Which I can sort of at least understand to some extent from a foreign policy perspective. But these accounts will earnestly say that the West does the same. including assassinating political rivals and this sort of shit. They also equate Ukraine wanting to join NATO as equivalent to Russia invading the country.

    For those curious this is not as bonkers as the title suggests. Just run-of-the-mill police state injustice.

    The artwork prompted school authorities to file a police report, leading to the investigation of Moskalyov’s social media activity.

    Moskalyov was sentenced to two years in prison, following his outspoken online posts against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
