I'm here to contribute to the discussion, not farm karma using American politics stories. If this post is a call to action of any Americans here that have not done so, yet - I understand. Otherwise, it still comes off, to me, as a sensationalization/clickbait of something very few American voter have practical control over.
The point here is that today, not in the fantasy future where russia is free and liberal and respects human rights, russian perspectives can be damaging in the fact that they are diluting and drowning out the real voices of a peoples resisting occupation and battling genocide. Just like there was a distaste for all things German in the forties, fifties, and even later, it will take decades and generations for Ukrainians to digest the trauma of this war and ultimately decades of not centuries of repressions. The world outside of Ukraine and russia need to be able to see this perspective. Especially since the russian empire has spent tremendous resources promoting their "culture" abroad, while burning Ukrainian books since the time of Catherine I.
Once the war is won, then we can start having discussions about who was and wasn't complicit, as this war is also being fought in the information space. Russian culture has always been intertwined with propaganda.
Mandatory reminder to contact your congressmen and remind them your vote is contingent on their votes in support of Ukraine
I'm not making these comments directed at you, but so the community can drill down and draw their own conclusions. 38 posts in this community, but 1,428 in general in less than 24hrs of "being new". Healthy skepticism is important, same as coming to fact-based conclusions.
So it's normal for an individual to be able to post about 1,500 links in less than 24hrs? I'm not saying this is a pro-russian voice - the opinion is hardly the problem. That's their game - create such noise so as to make the truth inaccessible. I'm saying this is a troll, and not an authentic member of the community trying to discuss anything.
Look at the poster here - spamming various links to create noise and confusion.

Well received. Just a direct quote from the title of the video as posted with no adjustments, in this case.
