Telegram is indeed neither private nor secure (that is if you don’t use secret chats), but the stupidity of people believing the narrative of

Russia-controlled servers

will never cease to fascinate me.

You know which group of people know for certain that this is not true?

Russians.

How can they be so sure?

Because of their government’s constant attempts/threats to block it / slow it down. All in an effort to make people move to an actual messaging app controlled by them (MAX messenger).

Yes, absolutely, Russian government is trying to stop people from using an app they control, this totally makes sense.
And if it doesn’t, you can always come up with some totally reasonable and totally not a conspiracy theory of them just pretending to trying to block it so that you think it is secure. And people might even believe it. Except for Russians, for whom Telegram voice calls are broken (blocked) again, and MAX is advertised as an alternative.

For fuck’s sake…

Lol, it’s not even a spicy question like “Why is Zelensky posting photos with soldiers with Nazi symbols if his regime being Nazis is Russin propaganda?”, and you still got those “people” triggered XD

A job well done!

Both absolutely should be allowed/legalized.

I mean, the same people praise Azov, so no surprises there

I am too lazy to point the arrow to the correct place, but you get the point

Do you mean that the Ukrainian people are getting

assaulted, kidnapped

On the territories still controlled by Zelensky’s regime - yes, kidnapping and assault (busification) is daily occurence indeed.

murdered

Well, this is the point of busification, to send the people to die, so also yes.

Thankfully, Russia is slowly but steadily liberating people from that.

Got reported for being a “state propagandist”. Well, this is not true because… Ah shit sorry, gtg, Vladimir Putin is here with my paycheck!

The author was so nice that he even included a paragraph about “b-b-but it’s surely Russian propaganda!!1!”, so that you wouldn’t have to bother <3

The go-to response for many Zelensky loyalists will be to write the allegations off as Kremlin smears. Indeed Zelensky’s justification for his attempt to bring Nabu under his control back in July were vague and never substantiated allegations of Russian penetration of Nabu.

I’m curious, do people downvote it because even after 4 years of kisnappings with countless recordings of this happenning daily they still consider it “Russian propaganda”, or are we fully in the “yes, it’s happening, but it’s not a big deal and we shouldn’t talk about it”?

🤦‍♂

Ah right, thanks for pointing out my mistake!
When talking about army of kidnapped slaves I of course meant the one from the country where busification (act of violently kidnapping someone to send them to the meatgrinder, obviously against their will) has become “the word of 2024” according to a dictionary organization from that same country.
Would you be so kind to help me to identify this country, pretty please?

I wonder if in retrospect this will be considered “the straw that broke the camel’s back”?

Putting aside the jokes about “they don’t gain ground fast enough therefore I win”, Zelensky’s strategy of fighting with a slave army of kidnapped men was and still is quite sucessful - Russia liberates no more than tens of km2 a day.
But now, for whatever reason, he lets a good chunk of potential cannon fodder leave. Eventually running out of cannon fodder was always a ticking time bomb, and now it’s even worse…
