From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

    It seems that our leaders idolize Russia back. 🤣

    It’s all about this,

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment

    Apparently, Putin’s regime is seen as an example for our leaders to follow.

    P.S.: Without the direct threat that the communist USSR posed to Western elites, social-democracy faded away as the rich became more and more emboldened.

      Dear christ, is there anything Russia isn’t responsible for? Apparently we’re all puppets in the West, easily hypnotized by gifs generated on washing machine CPUs, and conveniently it’s never our own making.

      Please seek therapy. This “Russia Russia Russia” thing is McCarthyist hysteria on steroids.

      You’re idolizing Russia as much if you think they’re somehow behind everything you don’t understand or like.

      What’s the difference between your elaborate near-psychotic take and any other conspiracy theory?

      Russia Russia Russia. Jesus motherfucking tapdancing Christ on a rubber crutch.

      I dropped a plate this morning, Russiaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!!!

        Read again. 🙄 Read again and if you still think I’m blaming Russia in the previous comment, read again until you understand what I said.
