Slouching Towards Oblivion

Following Up

Some days ago, reporter/producer Marina Ovsyannikova broke the rules and went all anti-war on live Russian TV.

She's been fined ₽30,000, which is about $283, which amounts to a little less than ⅓ her monthly salary.

That doesn't sound all that bad, but there's also the little matter of an impending criminal investigation that could put her in prison for 15 years.

That is Mr Putin's Russia.


She's a shero. Especially as she (inadvertently) points out the near-perfectly parallel tracks between Russians who support Putin's war because they swallow the propaganda on Channel 1, and the Americans who can't quite decide whether or not to rationalize an excuse for Putin's war because they can't get shed of the bullshit being shoveled into their heads by Qult45 and DumFux News every day.

Here's some rubes
There's some rubes
Everywhere there's fuckin' rubes
