We could mail photos to Russians and air drop them in Ukraine where Russian forces are.

  I 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.

    It's not shaming, it's informing. The censorship is heavy in Russia.

    > 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...

      So what would have happened if the allied powers did the same with Germans during WWII, instead of actually fighting German army?
