Because it's largely made up and vastly exaggerated. If people had actual details or critically thought about what 'russian disinformation' really was, it wouldn't be an effective boogeyman to blame for all the world's ills.

Somehow the west has found a way to say "You're right our democracy is broken, but it's all Russia's fault!!!"

The codec pack was named after the USSR, it was great.

These protests do work. And is suspected to be largely behind why a fair fraction of the population care about climate change. And working class people will be pressed into cleaning up the mess of direct action too, so I don't understand the argument there.

Fucking up rich people's pretty shit is a perfectly valid, if somewhat toothless, response. Yes, direct action is better, but is also more heavily violently cracked down on, the mass movement needed to make it viable isn't there.

As time goes on, I think the capitalist machine just requires more and more sections of the population to "other", to blame for the failing state of the world. Divert attention away to anyone but the richoids.

Sorry, I clearly didn't deliver it well, but the "bourgeois decadence" was honestly just a joke. I agree with all thata you said.

That might be true if the shirts were made to order in union shops with vaguely fair profit sharing. There's nothing I can see to indicate that's the case here, though, just bourgeois decadence.

I think this feeling is shared by 80-90% of people at minimum.

Personally, I've never found a way to do something meaningful (like, materially help people) that would also keep me and my disabled family members out of debilitating poverty. So I have no choice but to dedicate my working days to unethical profit-making shit.

Anyone holding their burger upside down is a supervillain at best. Do not trust.

I feel like trends just be trends, we will probably like something else entirely in 20 years.

Keep seeing libs defend this shit with "but they're training shells!!!!"

The same lib logic would defend celebs signing a nazi Zyklon B canister for display

"Alright scamps, you got me, sanction package 14 was my red line. Go on I'll surrender then" putin-wink

Why do I so often get the feeling that most sanctions on Russia are carefully chosen to benefit certain western oligarchs?
