It's also punishing the citizens of Russia for the crimes of its government.

Denying their participation in culture is a plan doomed to fail, much like prohibition.

That's the point as the people are enabling the government

If Donald Trump wins the Presidency illegitimately, will you say the same of US citizens?

So, in a country where the elections are clearly a sham, and have been for decades, it's the people's fault, is that what you're saying?

I couldn't roll my eyes at this bullshit any harder.

Firstly, Putin has decent support in spite of the elections being a sham.

Secondly, there's literally nothing else you can do to make a regime change happen from the outside. Except war, which no one wants.

So keep rolling your eyes in ignorance.

That is very easy to say when you are not a dissident living in one of these countries.

Literally why I used the US as an example.

EDIT: Also, you're literally reducing their access to non-Propaganda media sources.

Did you just call western media for non-propaganda? Dude, it's working then.

Don't dissidents want regime change to happen more than they want Netflix?

[-] strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

So what would you suggest then?
