they're being told they are fighting a righteous war defending Ukrainians from Nazis

And the ones that don't believe it have to shut up. Imagine being against the Iraq War post 9/11 in the US, but your bullies can get you put in jail.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. It's true and you don't need to be pro-russian or believe it to acknowledge the propaganda.

What I don’t get is how they can look at the rest of the western world backing Ukraine and not wonder “are we the baddies?” Or maybe they do and that creates cognitive dissonance too big to handle. Or they’re told all western countries are Nazis.

You know the insane amount of Russian bots on western-centric websites? Has to be double that on their own sites.

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.
