    Now imagine this image came out of Russia, it would be plastered on the covers of all magazines as the western world would stroke its ego dick around this image. But I guess it’s not coming out of Russia now, so it’s irrelevant. (Not that I support Russia lol, fuck their fascist regime too)

      Would it? Was it plastered all over magazines when they were arresting people for holding signs that say things like ” I will be arrested for this sign”

      When the war with Ukraine started, people in Russia went to protest it. Thousands were arrested on day one. No one remembers that now and it wasn’t reported much in the West.

        I think your memory is betraying you here, because all the big media outlets were talking about the protests going on in Russia at the time
