Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Pro ruzzian scums are apparently everywhere - and it's so confusing as it's clearly not a state that allows any criticism or independent thoughts.

It's run on misinformation and oppression mixed with an unhealthy dose of violence.

I mean I understand to some degree of you have been exposed to state run propaganda your entire life, but if you have escaped from that life - how can you still support the very structure you ran for? It even worse - you've never experienced Russian propaganda, and STILL you choose to believe the garbage they tell you...!

I mean, it has to be some form of self preservation going on here.
