The whole Reddit is now in "Evil Russkis" mode, you can't voice the reason and common sense for absolutely anything. Can you give an example for some backg

  Try and go to a Russia-aligned (or at least not Ukraine-aligned) subreddit, copy a defense of Russias actions, or a condemnation of the Ukraine government, and see how it fares on big subreddits, like r/news or r/europe. You'll almost certainly get banned, esp. if you link to media articles that support your argument. Even if your entire argument is factual and supported by western media articles. Moreover, it's not a well-hidden secret that Reddit is a very popular target for information warfare on behalf of western intelligence. Information warfare and media operations with the intent of controlling the narrative is extremely widespread. It's not surprising that Russian media are blacked out and labeled misinformation. Closing ones ear to the opposing viewpoint had already become a prime virtue, and isolating out dissenting opinions is an important part of this kind of information warfare. Western news media is absolutely steeped in pro-Ukraine propaganda, obviously much more that even Russian media is with pro-Russia propaganda. It's a case of fish not knowing they're in water. It's insane to me to see the extreme extent of demonisation of Russia, and even ordinary russians on reddit. You won't see this universal kind of demonisation in Russian media. Controlling the narrative is a powerful thing.

  Just ask how come they know it was Russain saboteurs. [0] > "we were later told by the Ukrainians that we were being ambushed by a saboteur Russian reconnaissance squad" This is not.. very credible. Just exactly how they said when "Russian tank drove over a car"... when there were no Russian troops in Kiev. [1,2] Or you can ask why Ukranian army decided to fight from the nuclear plant buildings (Zaporozhye NP) fully knowing they would be fired in the response. Or you can ask how come the "Russian cruise missile" came from west side [3] (notice the sun position and the local time, ~08:00) when... there were no Russain troops there at that time. Check the map in the link [4]. Check another angle [5].

      I am notice (sic) a trend of anything not pro-Ukrainian everywhere immediately labeled as pro-Russian. QED
