The EU has decided that it would be illegal for us to read, listen or watch russian news channels. I'll not go into the details, just let me say that the decision is so loosely defined that if an american would post a quote from RT or Sputnik in a comment on a Substack, and I was to be revealed having read and/or spread that quote, well then I'm a criminal.
This is of course for our own protection, because we are to stupid and easily fooled unless all our information is prechewed and preapproved.

With regards to Iran, it amazes me that Canadians are out protesting about the unfortunate death of the Iranian woman that died while in police custody and yet are silent about our own unfortunate woman from Saskatchewan who dropped dead in a pharmacy after receiving a covid booster!
I am planning to do a post on this at some point. I call it vicarious pathological altruism where people care very deeply and expect others to make sacrifices for movements that really do not affect them, roughly put. I suspect it's related to cowardice at some level. To discuss difficult subjects in the west is to take on some form of social risk. Notice all the latest things are either happening in different countries where there is no physical risk (Ukraine, Iran, etc) or carry no direct social risk for supporting (vaccines, COVID). Difficult subjects are untouched, quietly supported, or ignored (vaccine injuries, lockdowns, immigration, etc), and any opposition or mild skepticism to these subjects caricatured.
That would be a very interesting article and I will definitely look forward to it. I love the phrase you used to describe this phenomenon " vicarious pathological altruism". Protests in my province of British Columbia are almost cult like in their intensity for any cause they are not directly affected by.
words have always been weapons ... all that WEF crowd ...
california is moving ahead with stopping doctors's free speech ...
It took a while, but LOTS of people, doctors included, are waking up to what has happened and is STILL happening re: the plandemic.
Since when do the ramblings of a two-bit dictator from an island country with a population of 5 million prisoners matter on the global stage?
Citizens looove being afraid. Justifies their passivity.

Don't you feel protected though?

Anyways, that's a discussion for another time!
