I'm really sorry to admit this but having been following this a bit, as much as I love me a revolution and would adore to see Macron overthrown and locked up, Russian media as well less public institutions definitely seem to be at the very least doing their very best fanning the flames, if they weren't directly involved in kindling them.

Of course, it's the exact same thing USA has been doing worldwide for decades and it doesn't invalidate the unrest entirely for sure, but it's still important to see the angles.

Russia will applaud any movement against the reigning governments of any NATO country. Taking this tack means that any opposition to a western government is going to be invalid by definition. Which is pretty handy if you're a western government, I'll admit.

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

Being reminded that common people can be so powerful, that police is not invincible, that democracy can be something more than putting a pencil mark on a piece of paper every few years, it's inspiring. Russia doesn't care as long as there is chaos in the west, but this is good chaos I think

While I 100% agree with this maybe I'm deformed by the Czech scene where almost everyone who's against west and against irampant liberalism adds on the same breath that the only path to prosperity and decent life for the commoners is to come under Putin's protective wing down to opting out of EU in favor of his trade zone thing and whatnot.

So maybe we have a bigger share of Russian plants than further rest, or maybe pro-Russian is what a significant portion of our "boomers" simply are naturally, but it definitely makes me very wary of all the potential pressure in situations like this.


now, Russian culture loving owns (other than their to-this-day raging hompo/transphobia and related). It's just their current political clique is just another group trying to gently caress everyone else, including the workers, over.

I'm still hopeful Russia will eventually end up with unrest of their own and Putin gets overthrown.

My hot take contribution for this thread is that John Wick is a lovely knockoff of Max Payne.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiNHpol9L80

Max Payne 3 ended up being the most relevant artistic work about the intersection of race and class war into a format dipshit Americans could comprehend years before militant fascism could take power in Brazil.

I paid £20 for a gin and tonic once, AMA from the guillotine

I was at an airport and ordered a margarita at a Sammy Hagar restaurant, they didn't have prices on the menu and I didn't ask first and when the bill came it was like $17 for the margarita and I knew I got owned hard by The Red Rocker. It was a good margarita though.

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
