Der russische TV-Sender #Doschd (#TVRain) sendet nun mit einer Sendelizenz aus den #Niederlanden: https://derchotv.de/2023/01/12/russischer-tv-sender-doschd-bekommt-lizenz-in-den-niederlanden/

@kravietz @kaede @drq@mastodon.ml #TVRain isn't putinst, but is imperialist and pro-russia. Most german catholics weren't hitler proponents but were nazis. Even the priest from Weiße Rose was an antisemitic ass.

As you said, intent matters, and the intent of @drq and other "anti war" russians who don't participate in the war on the side of Ukraine in one way (providinga platform to Ukrainians is one little way to do that)...

Today I have learned that toxic sh****le by the name of linux.org.ru has a mastodon instance. It's called lor.sh and doesn't advertise affiliation. At least one of their moderators is advertising the enemy of Ukraine and the West @drq on their peertube instance.

Remember, the situation with #TVRain (a supposed liberal TV channel) doing fundraising for #russian #army is just an example of a general trend of pseudo-liberals waging information war (admittedly, sometimes inadvertently, by virtue of carrying deep-rooted imperialist worldview). In case of #TVRain they were stupid enough to go overt, but the plague still spreads via #meduza, #redakciya and other media. Remember that #redakciya under Mr. #Pivovarov are openly using nazi tropes to paint Baltic states and Baltic people as a threat to russia and russians. They sneak this into criticism of putin and many people overlook it. But that's exactly how good propaganda works. It needs to penetrate deeper than shallow "us vs them", it plants tropes, ideas, concepts and then, when the time is right, it utilises those to achieve whichever goal those with power need to be achieved.

Social media accounts employing propaganda tropes, slurs towrads Ukrainians, nazi slogans, regardless of intent, are ticking time bombs, as propaganda waves ripple through social networks, causing an avalanche effect.

Don't fall for covert russian #imperialism, defederate mastodon.ml, call out and report overt rushism, keep track of the enemies of the West.

We have to not repeat mistakes of #WW2 and make sure that those supporting russia and/or putin don't have a way into the Western society. We failed with letting nazis roam around freely after the #WW2.

We fucked with #NeverAgain, let's at least not fuck up with accountability for the enemies!

Slava Ukraini! Death to occupiers!

In case you think that "liberal" channels like #Redakciya (#Редакция) are somehow different from overtly imperialist #TVRain or covertly imperialist #Meduza.

The label says "Baltic question". Nazi culture somehow got deeply internalised by #russians.
