    Actually kinda bloomer that a sub like /r/pics is downvoting this comment and the upvoted comments (that I saw) were mostly good. One upvoted comment was like “How could Russia do this” (sarcastically) and a replier was talking about how he saw people saying that unironically. Is the narrative starting to turn or is it just because applauding a Nazi is actually a bridge too far for them.

      I’m really hoping this moment starts to crash the propaganda party line. It’s just so mask-off, it cranks the cognitive dissonance to the breaking point for anyone with a bit of reasoning.

      Maybe I’m being too bloomer about it, but I take what I can get these days.

      I don’t think the narrative will turn, Russia is still bad and Ukraine is still good. But people are more aware of the most blatant propaganda and are annoyed by it.
