There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Easier said than done. Putin killed off Navalny; an opposition leader and head of an anti-corruption body. A leader of a private military company marched on Moscow due to being pissed at his troops being fed to the meat grinder with fuck all support. His plane was blown up with innocents on board. What chance does the average citizen have? Plus if they don’t already have laws for protestors/dissent they’re on the way. Have complaints about the regime? Enjoy the labour camp.

A strong state media apparatus helps. Constantly instilling fear that the enemy is at the door (NATO encirclement bs for example); that isn’t helped by the US feeding that narrative constantly.
