      It’s so surreal to see how libs continue bleating about western values, democracy, etc. while Ukraine has objectively become a dictatorship at this point.

          Amusingly the same logic is now being applied in order to cut back on human rights in Europe as well. Measures have to be taken to protect the fragile and naive public from evil Russian propaganda.

            Yep, Russian news is basically censored across the continent, and travel sanctions effectively mean you can’t meet any Russians in person either.

            Just in case we see them as actual human beings or something.

          We’re fighting for democracy, how dare you suggest we hold elections, you will be locked up until you acknowledge the democratic nature of our glorious nation.
