      There is plenty, and the general sentiment is anti-war. It’s just hugely unsafe to speak out publicly against the regime. In private, most people seem to agree that this is a bloody massacre nobody asked for.

        Some of these users need to learn to separate a government from it’s people. The Russian people don’t really have a choice.

    No people deserve to be invaded. The warmongers deserve to have the war brought to their mansions.

      There are people who deserve to live their lives in peace. And then there are people like Putin, who deserve to have their dick put in a blender. Rarely do these two match up.

    Shoulda considered that before intimidating the peaceful population of Ukraine. I have a friend who completely uprooted her life and career trajectory to manage humanitarian aid to her home country. The fact of the matter is peaceful Russians are want enables the Orkish horde. My view is that they’ve been kept in the dark about the truth of their reality. Their lack of concern is a result of not knowing what is and isn’t real (and to many degrees us Americans live in the same situation with regard to our actions throughout west Asia). All Ukraine is doing right now is bringing truth to Kursk. I hope it doesn’t turn into reprisals. From what I’ve seen, they’re trying a winning hearts and minds strategy. But the bottom line is Russia initiated total war. They have no one to complain to about that there’s a total war going on at their borders

      It’s Yahoo, the source is Yahoo. You don’t even have to click it, it says it right beneath the title. Stupid bot.

          Ok, but the output of the aggregator can still be analyzed for bias, right? How often does “Business Insider* yahoo” aggregate right-wing bullshit vs left-wing bullshit vs actual apolitical truth? Knowing the source’s source doesn’t change the veracity of the article, only the contents of the article affect that.

            So you’re upset that this little bot is correctly configured to ignore a link aggregate site because the bot doesn’t yet have nested links implemented?

            I guess b better argument is, why have the bot post a comment at all. Or maybe it’s the Media Bias api that’s just giving back a negative and the bot doesn’t know it’s due to the source being a link aggregate.

    I don’t understand the nuances well enough to know, but the thought control is still pretty strong in Russia. I do wonder if the populous will see this as the manifestation of what Putin has been saying all along, which is that the Ukraine means to bring violence to them and all efforts so far have been to keep this at bay. If so they will double down on their support for the dictator.

    I often think about how much brain washing the Trump group has been able to do in the US even with free press and open access to the rest of the world. Imagine the power of the mind control one could achieve with an entire infrastructure built to support just that.

      Nothing will make a difference unless it reaches Moscow or st Petersburg. Most of the population is too poor/oppressed to make a big difference at this point. The people Putin needs to avoid upsetting are all living in the cities, at least according to an ex-pat friend of mine

      Putin is going to use this to the extremes. He’s going to spur more enlistment, perhaps a full mobilization if he can spin enough outrage.
