    Every time you eat at a restaurant in the USA include a detailed explanation of the American invasions of Iraq in your review.

        In my experience most machine translations don't deal well with cussing or slang, so the libs will actually have to learn some Russian to get their slur game on.

    IDK man. People in Russia seem to know what's going on. They had enormous anti-war protests as soon as the invasion started. And were cracked down on like crazy. I think maybe they need our solidarity in ways more meaningful than being patronizing toward them.

      When you're Russian that's the right thing to do. When you're American you don't protest Russia, you protest NATO. This is how to antiwar

        Totally agree. When we have the chance we can build international solidarity too, though. Unionizing across national borders, keeping our associations strong through family, friendship, professional, etc. relations, practicing what mutual aid we can from afar.... And, of course, fighting our own anti-war battles in our own locations.

        Anyway, I'd rather connect as meaningfully as possible with other leftists in Russia and figure out how we can help that way than to just assume people in Russia don't know jack and try to educate them from afar about their own situation. The latter is not only incredibly patronizing, but I suspect it'll be ineffective and pointless. Gotta know what you're stepping into.

      No no no. The Russian anti-war opposition doesn't exist because they're all brainwashed by Putin. Only American Internet Posting will fix this, and only by interfacing with an American website while pushing American media talking points.

    Twitter users freak out and start labeling users as bots the minute their worldview is contradicted, but a bunch of Yelp reviews written in English by people who are obviously foreigners are going to change hearts and minds in Russia? 🙄

      So do Americans and Ukrainians, no one wants this. No one can stop it. These ghouls are 50% bloodthirsty psychopaths and 50% people who've tacitly accepted that they have no control and are treating this war like a spectator sport.

    I always click "this was helpful" on restaurant reviews written in broken English that only mention the wars my country is waging on theirs.
