Oh yes, Russia is also blocking Instagram, as of Monday - they’re giving the Insta users enough time to transfer all photos of their asses to a different platform This was announced in response to Facebook allowing death calls for Russian military

Minor differences are between British Empire and modern Western cultural neocolonialism.

No, I don’t notice a correlation. Putin’s motives are grounded in the real-life happening-right-now threats to his state operations and decisions making apparatus, he is very business-like minded. Hitler’s ideas were based on his ideals and dreams about what German race should look like, he was in the clouds of his “vision” and was striving to dominate the world, be the master race, the elite. Putin just wants to be “the head of his household”, so to speak, without any external influences from the West telling him what to do.

Not wanting to end up becoming yet another US’ bitch where the West would be in control of his state’s decision is not a delusion- it’s an ambitious aspiration, and the price/sacrifice that he is willing to pay for achieving true liberty only indicates how real that threat was. US better roll out all their sanctions now - after Russia will have recuperated the West will no longer be able to continue their bullying.

Microsoft will suspend all new sales of Microsoft products and services in Russia. https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2022/03/04/microsoft-suspends-russia-sales-ukraine-conflict/?ranMID=24542&ranEAID=je6NUbpObpQ&ranSiteID=je6NUbpObpQ-D6kbEfLb4wVIl2N0Kxcymw&epi=je6NUbpObpQ-D6kbEfLb4wVIl2N0Kxcymw&irgwc=1&OCID=AID2200057_aff_7593_1243925&tduid=(ir__q1n9dz1xmskf6zgj01xr6xi33m2xtgjavpxamrzh00)(7593)(1243925)(je6NUbpObpQ-D6kbEfLb4wVIl2N0Kxcymw)()&irclickid=_q1n9dz1xmskf6zgj01xr6xi33m2xtgjavpxamrzh00

You also seem to think that Taliban is an extremist organization in the context of US imposing sanctions on Afghanistan which threatens deaths of millions of civilians by starvation. Just wanted to point that out.

https://www.reuters.com/world/kremlin-says-meta-would-have-cease-work-russia-if-reuters-report-is-true-2022-03-11/ “Russia opens criminal investigation of Meta over death calls on Facebook. LONDON, March 11 (Reuters) - Russia opened a criminal case against Facebook's parent Meta Platforms (FB.O) on Friday and moved to designate it as an "extremist organisation" after the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for violence against Russians in the context of the war with Ukraine. "A criminal case has been initiated ... in connection with illegal calls for murder and violence against citizens of the Russian Federation by employees of the American company Meta, which owns the social networks Facebook and Instagram," Russia's Investigative Committee said.“ Russia is also going to ban Instagram: “In accordance with the Federal Law ‘On Countering Extremist Activity’, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation sent an application to the court to recognize Meta Platforms Inc. as an extremist organization and ban its activities in the territory of the Russian Federation,” the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation said today.“ https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/russia-instagram-ban-meta-whatsapp-b2033767.html?amp

Could you please link to evidence/facts that would justify you calling Taliban barbaric corrupt terrorist organization? Would like to learn more about them without relying on just random opinions thank you

Palki roasting Biden

The mask is starting to slip

In order to present a decent case one would have to build it on the basis racial discrimination and use Leo being half-Russian as a core argument. Then formulate a claim such as questioning their true motives why they are creating sudden financial hardships for him, speculating about whether they may be trying to deplatform him because they’re prejudiced against him being Russian, speculate about them being triggered by his perspective on Putin etc. Then layer it with evidence that supports those claims, and there would be a case. Weather it’s strong enough or even worthy to bother with is definitely questionable haha - I just like entertaining all kinds of ideas. Realistically though, I would probably just focus on figuring out the best way to go about ditching them/transferring to a different vendor.

https://vimeo.com/terms “VIMEO PROVIDES THE SERVICES ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. YOU USE THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK.” One would have to dig into their terms of Service. They probably have their asses covered via the verbiage so in order to fuck them up one would have to attack from a different angle.

Because you’re not from NY They wouldn’t dare to pull this shit on their local businesses because the chances of them getting sued for this are pretty high here - everyone in NYC seems to have a lawyer haha I would document/take screenshots of their social media, what they’re saying about Ukraine-Russia, document your forum comments. And then have them try their luck in court to try and prove that what they’re doing to you is not an act of discrimination. You are allowed to have a different political opinion. This is just some other guy affiliated with Vimeo, co-founder

Or they’re just trying to raise money to send financial support to Ukraine. Vimeo CEO twitter:

Yep, makes sense, thank you

It’s a tragedy, and what makes it even more tragic is that Russians and Ukrainians - politics aside - are very close to each other mentally, spiritually, culturally… It’s fucked up. I can’t watch Zelensky or Putin (yes, Putin too) without crying.

I feel bad for Zelensky Seeing people in turmoil and their human side always gets to me…

By the time I’m done with reading all the assigned material and all the response papers that I have to complete on the weekly basis I really don’t have much mental power and time left for me to sit and decipher someone’s script - I’d rather spend that time on reading others’ perspective or writing my own response. Why treat it as some sacred spiritual text where one has to read into it deeply in order to grasp some hidden meaning to appreciate the message- simple use of grammar/dividing the text into smaller chunks/constituents on behalf of the author would suffice. Imo, it’s common courtesy to write in a way that’s intelligible and doesn’t require extensive mental exertion on the part of the reader in order to engage with what’s being said.

True. I spiraled out at the third line. The text really needs to be broken down into sentences and paragraphs

Are you sure?

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mc-donalds-joins-corporate-americas-exit-from-russia-with-closure-of-850-restaurants-183619416.html “McDonald's, Starbucks, Coca-Cola join corporate America’s exit from Russia. McDonald's Corporation (MCD) said Tuesday the U.S.-based fast-food giant will temporarily close all restaurants in the country and pause operations in its Russian market.” “We serve millions of Russian customers each day who count on McDonald’s” - poison, they mean? As if it’s a bad thing that Russians will no longer have access to this garbage and will be forced to switch to consuming some actual food.

That’s cause Sam wasn’t his father.

I noticed too how facts tend to just get buried. Also, no one is talking about how the West is threatening sanctions to those (Kazakhstan for example) who chose to take neutral position. Yet will discuss with passion and foam at their mouths some nonsense like Putin is a psychopath (?) Fascinating. https://eadaily.com/ru/ampnews/2022/03/04/britanskiy-posol-v-rk-keti-lich-prokommentirovala-vvedenie-sankciy-protiv-kazahstana ”British Ambassador to Kazakhstan Kathy Leach commented on the imposition of sanctions against Kazakhstan British Ambassador to Kazakhstan Kathy Leach commented on the imposition of sanctions against the republic. This was reported today, March 4, by IA "Sputnik Kazakhstan". Earlier, British MP Margaret Hodge said that since Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan support Russia, it is necessary to impose sanctions against them. After this statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan invited the British Ambassador for clarification.“ Notice how the West changed the narrative and claims Kazakhstan supports Russia - nowhere in his statement did Kazakhstan president Tokayev imply that he supports either one or the other side and is clearly taking a neutral stance: https://eurasia.expert/tokaev-raskryl-pozitsiyu-kazakhstana-po-situatsii-na-ukraine/ “In connection with the aggravation of the situation, the Head of State called on Moscow and Kiev to find common ground at the negotiating table. "Kazakhstan, for its part, is ready to provide all possible assistance, including intermediary services, if, of course, they are needed," Tokayev stressed.”

Here’s also the special number 3.
