Sad that so many people live under such an oppressive government. Some people have started hating Russians but I feel bad for most of them.

They're a huge country with all kinds of resources. If the government supported the people instead of keeping them under their heel, Russia could be an advanced, wealthy country with a rich culture. Instead we got Mafia in the Kremlin.

don't make the mistake to think this is a government only problem. Sure not all Russians are pro-war or pro-putin but a majority of them supports their leader, his efforts and this mindset, they are basically fine with all that crap.

So again to blame all russians is wrong but this is also not only putins fault, a lot of russian people are also heavy involved in this kind of lifestyle.

Well it’s hard to blame the people when information and propaganda are controlling their lives in such a specific way.

Manufactured consent is a very real thing

I never understood why people can see it locally, but can not understand when applied to Russia and China.

Do they know they're being subject to propaganda?

Do Americans and Europeans?
