Man, the ability to individually block any and all traffic from whole lemmy instances can't come soon enough. The fewer authoritarian regime apologists oozing out of the cesspool of lemmygrad I have to yet manually block the better.

Another one who completely misunderstands my point. Did you gloss over the part where I said that I wasn't calling any western journalist a propagandist? Only that Russian apologists could claim that and therefore 'justify' the killing of civilians (journalists). (Not that being a propagandist justifies the killing of a journalist, to be clear.)

You decided to shut off your brain. It’s illegal to criticize the war as a Russian. That isn’t true of Ukraine or it’s supporters. So you’re making a false comparison.

Are you just saying that russia could lie about western journalists? They can do that new, or whenever, or always. They’re dishonest about that kind of thing all the time, and they have broken so many international laws with this war that being worried that this could be their big opening to start breaking the law is just silly. So silly that I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith.

That isn’t true of Ukraine or it’s supporters.

Journalists have been jailed for exactly that in Ukraine and some NATO countries though, so it is definitely true for some of those places.
