Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Serious question, how are liberals coping with this? There's been more articles coming out about it recently. I'm wondering if they're bloodthirsty enough to call these people cowards.

the same way they were coping 3 years ago when I sent them videos of forced conscription: by saying russia does whatever ukraine does, but worse.

Just ask them for their source

They ignore it and pretend it isn't happening. They call it Russian propaganda. They say the videos were actually taken in Russia. They say the videos are AI. They say it's only one or two isolated incidents. Or they just straight up justify it saying Ukrainians have a duty to defend their "freedom and democracy". Take your pick.

I'm wondering if they're bloodthirsty enough to call these people cowards.

Ukrainian politicians and the nationalists in the Ukrainian media definitely do. They go on Ukrainian TV and just openly say that everyone who doesn't serve should have no rights as a citizen. In Europe they are trying very hard to get all male Ukrainian refugees to go back to Ukraine so they can be conscripted. Right now they are just scaling back on the money they give to refugees, but soon enough it may be deportations.

Ironically these deportations won't be done by the right wing (who only want to deport non-white people) but by liberals who are fanatically obsessed with fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.

They just ignore it or say "it's worse in Russia therefore it resets" (and proceed to ignore it), or say that Russia is so evil that everything is justified to stop them (and proceed to ignore it).
