Russian Propaganda: Acceptance of Genocide
Our eyes are not fooling us. Be thankful you do not need to include your nose. The smell of burned, decomposing bodies is one you never forget. My mind can smell it, from long memory, as part of Mexican EMS. There are yet worse photos emerging. Burned bodies of children. Headless bodies, and stories of rape. There are also stories of Russian troops hunting children, for fun.
And yes, they killed dogs too. Somehow, for some people, that has more of an effect. Incidentally, even with all the food taboos, I could almost understand this if the dogs were eaten. So this was for fun.
You might remember that Russia brought mobile crematoria. They also brought forty thousand body bags and standards for mass graves. We are starting to get first-hand accounts. Yet, we are still facing people in the West denying this reality and telling us this is fake.
These are not just Trump Republicans. It’s cold comfort that there is little surprise in seeing this from the Fox viewership. They are already using the language of classification regarding brown and black people, as well as Jews, which is part of the early stages of any genocide. Most genocides remain in the wishful thinking stage. As far as the far right is concerned, they are in the early stages of one.
