For anyone else who was curious about it, you can find the documentary on their youtube channel and it has working English subtitles!
Edit: actually scratch that, Piped has subtitles too, just click on the three dots and you'll find the English Captions option there too.
I want to remind everyone that these things aren't the norm, they're the exception.
The Kremlin's strategy is to make an example out of select few for the purpose of instilling fear into the population, thus keeping them politically complacent and subservient.
The vast majority who went out to protest when the full invasion started didn't go to jail, they were just detained for a couple hours and given a fine.
If you go to VK/Vkontakte (Russian version of facebook) you'll easily find anti-regime, anti-war voices that aren't being silenced. I've had an account there for more than a year, it still up and running despite all the shit I've said about the Kremlin/Putin/Army/Russia/Russians.
Also, in the year prior to the full scale invasion - 2021 - there were more protesters detained than they were in 2022, but in 2022 there were more people made public examples by being given long sentences than in 2022.
I'm saying all of this not to minimize the suffering or oppression that Russian anti-war activists are subjected to, but to bring to light the actual reality in the Russian society, because I've got the feeling that a wrong picture is being painted.
Okay everybody, listen. I have a brilliant idea. What if you take one of those tiny robots, superglue a mine on its back and then run it in front of the tanks so they run over it and blow up?
Sure you lose the tiny robot, but you just destroyed the tank at the cost of a tiny robot. How expensive can that tiny robot be?
This could be some looneytoons-levels of elephant and mouse game.
Another aspect that people ought to consider: monopoly is actually bad. Shocker, I know.
But if you have a corporate browser engine that pretty much controls the entire browser market, then whatever standard that browser implements it will automatically become the default. That's bad, Google is evil.
Those two can and should coexist. Me supporting the rights of a members of a religious groups does not and should not translate to me not being able to offend their religious sensibilities.
In fact, I wholeheartedly oppose blasphemy laws, regardless of the particular religion flavor that they apply to.
They should have the right to go around with their head uncovered and I should have the right to trash-talk their religious idols/gods/priests/what have you.
link only works for people who are already members of the channel.
What's the link for the channel or the channels name?
it didn't even cross my mind that other sites would have a different sub-whatever shortcut.
I foresee a lot of banter, bickering and drama about it in the future.
Imagine being one of those /t/ guys. Awful. Can't be me.
When I came across the app (I think it was on reddit), users were recommending that you set up another account in case Spotify catches on and bans your account (so you don't lose your favs/playlists/etc)
And that's what those people (not me) did, they set their original account playlists to public so they can be accessed by the second account.
However for as long as they (not me) have been using that app nothing has happened to their account.
Also just checked, they (not me) have been using that app since august 2021 with zero problems.
That truck noped tf outta there real fast
Start supporting the rights of muslim women, "leftist".

OOhh, I didn't notice! The are English CCs/subtitles on Piped!
My bad, didn't see the options, that's why I looked for another source in the first place.
