Phone call is sort term, high effort, and maybe even annoying to those pro-Russians.
Just a thought: I been viewing the evidences of Russian war crimes (photograph, video) that people posted on Twitter since the very beginning of the invasion. A lot's of them are real and fact-checked.
Maybe it could be a good idea to setup some sort of online and physical memorial to show the timelines of how each single innocent people lost their life in the invasion, completely neutrally and uncensored, only tell the story, no decoration.
My rational is this: it is just impossible to convert the entire Russian population to be peace-loving, let's just face it, it won't happen as long as the regime needs brainless tools. But for the curious ones who really wants to understand, the memorial can plant the seed in their head. Every 0.0000001% counts.
- junon 5y agoRussia has completely blocked the outside world. So no, that wouldn't work.
- tada131 5y agoBlocked when?
- azangru 5y agoDuring the first several days. When the outside world pulled Russian news channels off air and, possibly, blocked them on social media (I don't remember if that's what Facebook did); and started DDoSing its servers.
- nirui 5y agoNot important. The world will be watching the memorial as well, one of it will wake up, the Russians population or the world.
- mzs 5y agoWe could mail photos to Russians and air drop them in Ukraine where Russian forces are.
- throwaway290 5y agoI am curious what makes people keep directing things at ordinary people in Russia. Imagine WWII, except with the world trying to shame people in Germany instead of actually fighting. We'd probably live in a world with very different history books.
- mzs 5y agoIt's not shaming, it's informing. The censorship is heavy in Russia.
- nirui 5y ago> I am curious what makes people keep directing things at ordinary people in Russia. ... trying to shame ... You know, as an Asian myself, I watched all the shit unfolded on Asian people because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I know what vigilante mobs can lead to. Russians who hated the war should suffer none of it. However, it is important to notice the fact that most Russian supports the ongoing invasion effort (see 1). That means the "ordinary" people supports what Putin has done and they're looking for more. You may now think "hey but that's all government propaganda". Well, an "ordinary" Russian who's not against the invasion might help or even join the invasion effort. Propaganda or not, the effect is real. It's not about shaming, it's about providing the critical information needed before someone picked a side and locked themselves at that side. If people ended up ashamed by this, then hey, their nation did this, maybe they Should feel ashamed. 1: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/08/russia-public-opinion-ukraine-invasion/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/08/russia-publi...
- throwaway290 5y agoSo what would have happened if the allied powers did the same with Germans during WWII, instead of actually fighting German army?
