Same thing here, there's no point in even reading their articles, I can reduce them to "lie-whatever-makes-russia-look-good".
> we have to censor the opinions
Look at Fox news, propaganda works, tell a lie enough times you will get people believing it. Best to cut that off and search/consume from objective sources. (There's no truth in the middle when someone will lie to such an extent to move middle in the same area)
Democracies are vulnerable to propaganda, Germany proved that a long time ago.
> destroy the economies of countries which refuse to sing from our hymn sheet.
This is done because Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia was warned and they chose to go ahead. Now their economy is destroyed in order for them not to be able to continue the invasion...
Your simplification here is horribly wrong and I'd be curious if you would detail why you think this. I'd assume it's from your consumption of RT painting a different picture of events, in which case you might want to reconsider your media consumption.
I'm also extremely saddened by what's going on there, the countless innocents killed or lives destroyed by russian invasion/bombing/etc... I'd advocate for stronger response to stop the war...

I'm of the opinion that if you don't like something do it yourself better... All power to telegram to block whoever they want, all power to those blocked to build something else if they can.
