I would assume that actual Russians on Twitter are mostly from bigger cities, probably either young or middle-aged. I don’t know for sure, but I assume that rural, less educated, or not English-speaking folks prefer VKontakte to Twitter. And a lot of Twitter pro-Z accounts are paid trolls meant to convince westerners. Some of them probably are Western useful idiots too.
America wouldn’t have so many socialists if the horrendous systemic exploitation of workers across America and widespread private prison slave labour wasn’t touted as the apex of Capitalism, the “terrible but it’s the best system we have” lie spread to foster a sense of ingrained helplessness and resignation amongst the masses.

In the Moscow metro, people with anti-war attitudes are detained with the help of facial recognition cameras
At least 4 people have already been detained, 2 of them had previously participated in pickets against the war in Ukraine, according to the OVD-Info human rights project.
This is the source the tweet mentioned: https://ovd.news/express-news/2022/08/22/v-moskovskom-metro-po-kameram-raspoznavaniya-lic-zaderzhivayut-uchastnikov (Why do people name the source organization instead of just linking the article?)

Mass gathering and analysis of video, biometric and Internet use data is the wet dream of totalitarians. It could result in a totalitarian regime that will last forever, because even the slightest disobedience will be detected. And even in non-totalitarian states it will support the oppression of political dissidents, minorities, or even vocal representatives of otherwise quiet majorities.

“terrible but it’s the best system we have”
Yeah I said this about guns and capitalism, but it’s that stupid defeatist crap that’s enemy to progress. The Man wants me paranoid and looking at guns, so I don’t see the big dildo he’s about to stick up my ass.
If we want to survive as a species, we have to start by imagining the impossible.

The economy is very important. Those unions wouldn’t exist without an economy.
I guess you love the times where people, especially children, worked year-round in textile and coal factories for a nickel-per-hour and were bullwhipped every 30 mins to stay awake with no breaks or food?

Are you really going to say I support pseudo-slave labor simply because unions are worthless when there is no economy for there to be jobs? You can’t please everyone, and those who try to or pretend you can are idiots harming others.

Probably not, because the only trustworthy way that can be done is if the banks personally use the money to buy food. I don’t think they’re allowed to do that even if they froze an account.

So…
there are reports coming in saying that Kyle Rittenhouse wants to sue Joe Biden for defamation becuase Biden called him a white supremist.
I really wanna see if he follows through, becuase i really doubt some whiny alt-right flavour of the month kid is gonna win against the fucking President.

Exactly that. What’s worse is that they and nobody else want to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, even though they won the war fair and square (and no amount of aid and US troops was ever going to save Afghanistan’s democracy; disapproval was so low it was not worth saving).

GA GOP senate candidate Herschel Walker had this to say about the health climate bill:
“They continue to try to fool you that they are helping you out. But they’re not. Because a lot of money it’s going to trees. Don’t we have enough trees around here?”
This seat should have been an easy GOP flip-back. Instead, Rick Scott had to back and push a CTE patient.

Getting news and analysis from YouTube is like getting your history lessons from a church.

Getting your news from Youtube still offers the autonomy of choice, and multiple world views. Don’t compare something good to religion.

“Multiple world views”….like eliminationism and health/scientific misinformation?
