Curious as to how many will be willing to challenge their preconceptions and watch this. The west has been fed propaganda about Russia for decades.

Self harm is not to our benefit
We don't learn by we only learn to misattribute fear and anger to something
And when someone asks you to harm someone innocent, you stand in their way
You must become a warrior in that moment
Even if you don't want to
We will now bend science to our will
And choose the conclusions of that experiment
Maybe science doesn't bend if our frame of reference does
A cultural shift is an accelerated frame of reference
But to us, it will bend
Write those wrongs :necoarc_dancing:
