Hey, /int/, I have some serious talk with you...
The hardest thing in all that shit is that it is basically brother war. I've got relatives on Ukraine, but I can't talk to them because I know the truth that they would not like. I have to tell my relatives in Israel for them to stop sending me memes about dead Putin and how bad Russia is. I cannot reply them properly because they would not understand and say it is all Russian propaganda.
And the reality is that hohols are organising prisoned soldiers torture, they tolerate hate speech against Russians, including suggestions of genocide. They use human schields in besieged cities, they don't tell them about humanitarian corridors and they live in ceilings for months. Only when DNR/Russian military come to place where civilians hide, they can safely evacuate. Also Azov shoot at Ukranian army when they try to surrender, at civilians when they try to just fucking flee...
If I tell them all that shit, real situation on war theaters, first they wouldn't believe me, say I'm just zombified, curse my country. If I offer them help they think I'm just mocking them.
If I tell them about 8 years of bombing of Donbass they just say that it is Putin himself who bombed them(and through these 8 years people were so dumb that didn't notice it).
This shit with fake news media turns me mad. The saddest part is that on our side, we have fake news since 2000, but we are more or less immuned to that shit they tell us, but they blindly believe everything their propagandists tell them.
And all that combined with yearly nazi marches, banning communistic symbols (even on 9th of may no one can demonstrate them), banning Russian language and culture, etc.
My relatives talked about it but it proceeds so slowly that they don't really realise that nazi scum is already rulling Ukraine. Sad but true.
