This immediately made me think of the recent lemm.ee meta post, where several people were not getting what Russian propaganda looks like from the point of view of Baltic states

    Absolutely typical Solovyov clip 😅 But the meta post made it very clear to me that I don’t actually know how to explain this to people further in the west.

    I mean, I can easily see how Kremlin propaganda means something very different to a person who lives, for example, in the UK, and who has never experienced their significantly bigger neighbors constantly calling for their destruction. Kremlin propaganda might seem like more of a “both sides are bad” situation for them, especially if they already have an anti-capitalist worldview (a worldview which personally I can definitely sympathize with). Meanwhile, it’s really a “one side wants us to literally disappear from the map” existential question for those of us who are close to the Russian border.

    Edit: I really liked this comment by @Marzepansion@programming.dev below that meta post, though
