Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

They’re not seeing any of this. The oligarchs already won. They’ve turned classical media into their echo chamber now. And none of this penetrates much if at all. The oligarchs are just in a looting frenzy ATM before the collapse. And these rubes won’t be informed of any of this till long after the oligarchs have made their escape.
