I’ve been on the internet for a long time. Seen plenty of gore, plenty of horrific stuff. But nothing that will stick with me the way some of the Ukrainian War footage will. God help them over there. I can’t even imagine what it’s like living under the shadow of those atrocities, much less experiencing them.
For that reason, I have no sympathy for tankies who play ‘both sides’ or ‘critical support’ games. It’s genocide apologism, nothing less.
I stay away from all of it, now. I tell people the same thing whenever they ask if they should check it out - if you ever feel like the Ukraine situation doesn’t matter or that supporting Ukraine is unjust, check it. In all other cases, spare yourself the trauma-by-proxy.

For me, Cartel Footage is worse
