Yandex are apparently banned from NYSE. There are countless other articles like this one on countless other sites, about countless other companies.
Beyond the stupidity of giving Russia nothing to lose, is ANYONE considering the fallout this, at all? Like how Trudeau inadvertently triggered a run on the banks when he froze truckers' assets, How do we think asian corporations are going to respond to the knowledge that, should their country sufficiently piss off the west's ruling corpocracy, they will get fucked over in ANY and ALL business they have with the west?
This is madness. There isn't a rational thought in anyone's head at this point. The west is destroying international faith in its economic infrastructure.
It's suicide.
It felt to me like a switch was thrown, with an almost audible click, and suddenly all the hostility and hatred that the governments and media have been cultivating against the filthy unvaccinated masses was suddenly diverted and unleashed on THE EVIL RUSSIANS.
This is way beyond sanity. We are in the middle of a planet-wide mass psychosis. I'd feel terrified if I hadn't already lost my will to live a while ago.
It was an NPC firmware update.
General Protection Fault is leading the way!
Error: Your country has suffered a heap fault. We Left all your freedoms where they were before it restarted (:
This is why I fear that when the Ukraine shitshow ends they shift their hatred back to all of the globalists' domestic enemies and they will use every tool they used against Russia against anyone who doesn't toe their line.
Some of these not anti-Russian comments are now good for 1, 3, or 25 year prison sentences in some European countries. Yep, comments on social media deemed "pro-Russian" are now so 'illegal' they'll throw you in prison.
Yeah that is just completely psychotic.
It is hard to accept that things have gotten this nightmarish.
It looks like the world as we knew it, actually ended in Jan 2020.
Since then we have had nothing but hysteria.
First the hysteria over COVID, then BLM riots, then a certain infamous day in January, then the push of the shitty vax and now Ukraine.
It has been hysteria after hysteria in just 2 fucking years.
It feels like 2020, 2021 and 2022 are just the same shitty year to me. It all blurs together.
I still can't believe it's been that long. It feels like some timeless liminal space to me.
The only way I know this much time has passed is the aging of my kids. I feel in my bones that it’s March 2020.
Time stopped in December 2019 for me. Seems like just last month I was seeing stories of some strange illness being reported in Wuhan.
Edit: the lockdowns started in 2020 right?
If we could only go back to videos of people dropping dead in the streets from COVID. Such nostalgia.
Large Hadron Collider was reactivated in March 1 for the first time in 3 years
And of all the parallel dimensions, this is the one we ended up in.
Our lives are just a ahitty Steins Gate world line
I am still getting ready to go to that concert that got canceled back then. The world has not progressed since that day and it's wearing on me quite heavily.
You are absolutely correct - the world did end in 2020. Everything since then has been extreme theater to try to control the masses. It’s been hard for me as well to distinguish the past 2+ years from each other.
America fell and the rest of the world wasn’t far behind.
Yeah right after Epstein and pizzagate. Strange.
The world as you knew it ended Jan 2020, the world as liberals knew it ended Nov 2016.
Liberals have been hysterical since 2016, you were just insulated from it because they all clung to the life-preserver that he'd be gone in 4 years - if they could just wait until then. Well, Jan 2020 saw Russia Gate finally dead (final impeachment failed) and it clear that Trump would sail to victory. That's when and why they completely lost hope and any rational thought.
Thing about fear is it's the reptile brain and you can't just turn it off or will it away. Left to themselves liberals are now broken people, and the only way to get rid of this 'literally shaking' reptile fear is to play it out.
The way you break a horse is to expose them to the fear so long that they get exhausted and can't fear anymore - then nothing happens and they get over it. Exposure therapy. Only way to save liberals is to amplify 4chan and force it clockwork-orange style into their echo chambers. Constantly trigger them with outrageous ideas like "you'll get paid as much if you do as good a job".
Protest man! You'll beat them eventually!
Exactly.
People's* hostility is at a fever pitch. All thought and nuance is gone, there is only good and evil, and anyone not with us IS EVIL AND MUST BE DESTROYED BY ANY MEANS, LIKE THE INFECTIOUS VERMIN THEY ARE.
They will be fully primed to discard rule of law, the constitution, human rights, whatever. THE EVIL MUST BE DESTROYED.

*I don't know how many people, because social media doesn't proportionally represent the population,. but reading the news of this insanity happening across the western world does not give me hope.
I was at the range last week, and in the 20 minutes I spent bullshitting with the RSOs they had 2 people come in and ask for Russian soldier/putin targets with their lane.
It's not just social media, these people are everywhere.
lol what retards. Ive found it very effective to ask those people if they support neo nazis. They recoil in horror and demand to know what I mean. I then give them as much information as I can about Azov and the 8 years of ethnic cleansing going on in eastern Ukraine. Most have never heard about it. Showing them the wiki page about Azov is fun, you watch their brain explode in real time. I don’t even need to bring up NATO or the US biolabs - showing these retard normies the “muh nazis” shit is all it takes.
I think i’ve done this to at least a dozen people irl in the past 10 days and it’s really entertaining.
For the russians it was basically the Cuban missile crisis, with a side order of genocide and impending economic collapse, and they let it slide for like 8 years.
Fwiw they're all varying degrees of puppet.
Putin's a wef stooge
The jewish funded, Israeli backed nazis
It's all zionist bullshit.
One thing to note that despite Schwab’s claim to the contrary, Putin was never a WEF young leader. I’m still not clear why he says Putin was. Putin had a talk, on camera, with Schwab in 2020 (i think, the past 30 months are all bleeding together now) where he told Schwab to his face that Russia would not be going along with NWO. Now, that could be pure theater, i really don’t know. But to date afaik Putin is the only leader to tell Schwab face to face on camera to go pound sand. Just wanted to add this in case it’s meaningful or useful in any way.
I had seen that too, but I wasn't sure what to make of it. If he is wef, then I imagine they would want to seperate themselves from him starting a war that would preempt the next stage of the adgenda. Him saying that he's resisting while Klaus is saying he's in on it and setting up shop in Moscow could certainly be them purposely muddying the the water.
On the other hand he could be fighting back, and that would explain why they west is doing the exact thing they said they didn't want to do, and isolating Russia economically, driving them into a stronger alliance with China.
Too many unknowns. What I do know is that it's gay, and I don't like it.
Also, I thought Australia supposedly wasn't going along with the great reset. As mentioned, the last three years have a blur of bullshit. Idk which circle of hell clownworld is located in, but we're there.
I guess you could start with this wiki article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians_in_Ukraine and keep forefront in your mind that it’s Wikipedia and they hate Putin so there is a biased spin. The main section to look at History down in the post soviet era sections.
Here is some statistical analysis on casualties since 2014 https://www.crisisgroup.org/content/conflict-ukraines-donbas-visual-explainer
The above is one of the big things Putin is leaning on in his justification of entering Ukraine. The tl:dr version is that there are areas of eastern Ukraine inhabited largely by Ukrainians that consider themselves ethnically Russian. This has been the case for hundreds of years and predates even the soviet union. However it’s become a major problem since Crimea decided it wanted to join the Russian federation (2015 I think that was?). Some see the shelling of the Donbas region by the Ukrainian military to be a kind of retaliation - the official line is that they’re fighting russian separatists but they don’t seem to have any problems with bombing schools, hospitals, apartment buildings all in the name of fighting the russians.
Let me know if this helps. A lot of shit is getting scrubbed off the internet this past week or so now that normies are actually starting to dig into this.
This is inevitable. This is why we must crush them
They wrote about how they were worried the citizens would rise up against their governments for all the insane amounts they were doing against their citizens. Turns out they're really good at directing it towards their enemies instead.
You can't just undo a hate mob. But it IS a mob, you can redirect it by shouting loudly.
They needed to undo their previous COVID restriction before accelerationists caused revolution, but they had nowhere to put the Hate.
They wanted a Bretton Woods Moment the pandemic hasn't completed it, but a world war might.
Ukraine and Russia are responsible for 1/3 of Wheat production, and food supplies are already fucked up. What are you to do if you have limited food, heavy inflation, a financial system that's untrustworthy, failing trade systems, governments with war powers (after reduced covid powers) and a shiny new social credit systems.
^ This guy gets it.
It's very rational if you understand what exactly is going on, which is an old paradigm dying and new ones coming into conflict.
The old paradigm was US as the sole superpower, with America ruling the seas with it's navy and controlling the land with it's might. If you contest us, you get bombed to shit and we blow up your trade boats so you become a 3rd world shithole. But the America understands that it will not be a physical power for much longer. It kept the world under it's thumb and integrated in it's economic system via military power for 80 years, but it no longer has the interest or ability in trying to contest things physically anymore.
This is a result of western degeneracy in real terms. You mix the people so there is no national unity to support a war, you tar your patriots as traitors so nobody qualified signs up as soldiers, and you promote only the unqualified DEI applicants so you can't coordinate any serious conflict*. That's okay, because real physical reality does not matter. Only words and what you can convince people is true matters. This has been going on internally in all aspects of the US for decades, but now manifests externally in our ability to maintain an empire.
America has adjusted to this. Since it can not/will not employ warfare, it's new paradigm has to be coercing the world with the tools it has developed. It can control economics. It has gotten very good at crafting narratives and manufacturing public opinion. It can shame and remove enemies from the narratives. It can communicate to the enemy population directly. But all of this is relatively nascent; this is the first time ever deploying this kind of "force" on a national level. (It is also still a blunt instrument. It can only activate as a full blast shotgun; that's how you get dumb shit like Russian cats being banned.)
Russia has noticed our moving away from force and realized that if we're not willing to physically stop them, then they can use force. Their new paradigm is to go back to the old ways, where what matters is actually real: having troops and tanks and planes and bombs. By necessity if they win this, then what other nations have to follow this paradigm too because it doesn't matter what you say if you're dead.
This is very interesting, because it'll reveal the course of world politics for 40+ years. If Russia wins, we should see a number of balkanized conflicts around the globe and a return to countries focusing on actual metrics of success. If the west wins, then we'll likely see the globohomo ascendant and truly become a world government kept in line with soft power and propaganda until someone figures out a new paradigm.
But make no mistake that this is war, and the west doesn't care about Russia having nothing to lose because it is going scorched earth on them just like a real war.
* And on the flip side, the new paradigm is an advantage in that you can control it with just a handful of powerful... er... policymakers on your side to dictate what the government and media do. Militaries require lots of troops who are trained to fight and might fight you if you're trying to grind their peoples into the dust.
What you said in the middle about old and new paradigms reminds me of this lecture by John Mearsheimer. He predicted exactly what would happen and nobody listened.
Also if I can ridiculously simplify the contrast between the two sides, to me it feels like masculine vs. feminine culture.
A man will warn you when you're crossing the line, and if the threats don't work it's understood he will escalate to physical violence. The social hierarchy is determined by who gets their nose bloodied. Physical deterrence. When you make peace, the man will call off the conflict. This leads to the old American revolutionary doctrine of "Enemies in wartime, in peace friends."
A woman, on the other hand, will utterly destroy you. Any line of acceptable behavior that exists can be moved at any moment based on her feelings, and she isn't beholden to those rules of engagement. She'll insult, belittle, and shame you. She'll cry and deflect responsibility for anything she's done. If you try to talk about it she'll say you're making it about you. She'll gaslight you, while insulting and lying about you behind your back. She'll slowly poison you. If you notice what's going on and try to fight back she will scream abuse or use her social network of backstabbers to turn you into a pariah. Nobody will ever respect you again when she's done with you. You'll wish you were dead. Even when you admit you were wrong and accept her dominance, she'll NEVER let you forget it.
Or if you finally snap and slap some sense into the woman, HOW DARE YOU HIT A WOMAN! She never laid a finger on you! What kind of man are you? She's a helpless victim and you're an aggressor using physical violence. How primitive. Go straight to jail, do not collect $200.
Sorry I went MGTOW for a moment there. What were we talking about again? Oh, yeah fuck Putler!
That's not a bad analogy either. There's tons of different layers to the conflict from trade to diplomacy to legitimacy to identity etc.. Not all of it paints Russia in a good light, and like all things IRL there's tons of nuance.
Meanwhile the common understanding is that obviously Putin just woke up one morning and decided to be Hitler for no reason! /s
In a way I kind of envy the Ukranians. Their enemy is out in the open and they can engage them directly in the most sensible way possible. The rest of us on the other hand are stuck in some sort of psychological panopticon where there's no clear means of fighting off our enemies.
LOL.
Very insightful.
I said this a couple days ago. They aren't just targeting the Russian government, they are targeting Russians.
I honestly should have seen this coming, but I really thought these Leftists might have at least changed their tactics, but no. At least for America, we are looking at the same kind of Progressive hysteria and calls for discrimination that we saw against Germans in WW1 during the highest of the Progressive Era, and the Japanese in WW2 perpetuated by Communists in Hollywood while we had a Democratic Socialist president.
That being said, Steampunk. I don't actually think the Fabian Socialists give a shit about Russians ethnically. Ethnic hatred is just a weapon for the larger goal of causing the monetary crisis that gives them the justification of a Great Reset of the financial system and the introduction of a digital currency.
Yup. That's intentional.
Die Hard villains are the most realistic villains in fiction: it's always about the fucking money.
Honestly, I stopped buying gold because I assumed that the Russians would take Ukraine relatively quickly, and prices would come back down. However, I'm concerned that even though prices might come back down, the economic damage that might come from isolating Russia might be enough to cause a global recession in late 2022 or 2023.
Oh, by the way, it's all that Fabian effort, and the Fabians are invested in China, and China is the biggest winner in this war, both politically and economically.
I think that is starting to change though, whether the Fabians want it to or not. There is a lot of manufacturing that is starting to return to the US or is going to non-Chinese locations (a lot of product my work sells moved from China to Guatemala and El Salvador). And while its true that the rest of the world will probably suffer from pretty bad consequences and a recession, the US is in a position to ride it out better than expected due to us still producing large amounts of gas and oil (fracking was already cranking back up before the current jump), and we also produce absolutely hilarious amounts of agricultural product. And much like with Obama, a lot of these changes are happening whether Biden and his handlers want it to or not. And I would be unsurprised to see some state governors override the Fed and start offering up incentives to reshore or drill.
Either way, I am starting to get into belt-tightening mode.
The Fabian economic order is dying whether they want it to or not, whether they understand it or not.
What we're seeing isn't just that foreign countries are pulling out of China, they are realizing that the Americans won't be reliable, and China will be openly aggressive. So in order to protect themselves, they can't just go with the cheapest Chinese slave labor they can find, they'll have to spend more money becoming economically independent of Chines control.
At this point the west is proving every Russian conspiracy theory about the west being out to get Russia right. It''s just going to radicalize Russia more.
More brother wars maybe.
Your allies in the 30s and 40s did not see us as white, and now that we conveniently fit your agenda, we're white, is that so~?
Eh, we even consider Sicilians as white now so it's really a big tent these days.
This is it. The great reset. The wuhan flu didn't have the desired effect so they're using this.
The Wuhan flu was wildly successful & advanced the great reset further than the 4 years Trump held it back. They:
#1 Crush the Hong Kong protests & absorbed the city into China proper, which I believe was the initial reason why it was released in the first place.
#2 Staved off a Chinese recession started by Trump’s trade war.
#3 Flattened the Western economies.
#4 Turned the west into their own version of dystopian shitholes.
Rushia was actually banned for her name sounding too much like "Russia", not the insider info leaks. /tinfoil hat
I hope she's ok... Not having a way to know about her is worrisome

Now THIS... is what I was hoping to get, Thank you! 🐥
My reply to u/one_two_three_4 since this platform silently deletes anything after the fifth reply:
My country is not officially at war. They did not declare it. America did not declare war. Russia did not attack America or any country besides Ukraine. As far as I know there are only targeted sanctions on specific industries I'm not involved in. (you might call those acts of war, but what's new)
I'm fully capable of mobilizing to defend my nation as a patriotic citizen, but until my country frankly and honestly declares war against Russia - with specific, achievable goals to win the war - I am acting accordingly and assuming we are at peace with the Russian people. I will not be pressured to join a meaningless cancel culture "resistance" movement by the collective. To do otherwise is to accept a feminized passive-aggressive system of social control that underhandedly uses indirect and soft power - and the collective rage of indoctrinated masses - to ensure compliance. I despise all exercises of state power, especially military invasions. I feel sorry for the innocent civilians being needlessly killed and displaced, but I don't #StandWithUkraine. It really doesn't matter what's happening in Ukraine or if sociopathic dictators are threatening to nuke the world if safety means I'm forced to join the Borg.
In the meantime if asked for my opinion I will treat this the way I've treated the so called COVID19 "pandemic". "What's that? Sorry I don't watch the news. I haven't seen any Russians around here."
Some how Russia attacking one country is more egregious than China attacking the world with a virus.
Or how the Chinese treat Uighers and other ethnic minorities.
Menawhile Moscow market just remains closed all week. Literally no longer a market economy anymore, again.
Huh.
All sides knew this would happen. The only people who probably had any problem with it was Russia because it might make them dependent on China.
As far as the Chinese and Fabians are concerned, that's all good news.
The Moscow Times article being discussed in this thread.
On the contrary, when China invades Taiwan, the response will be markedly different. Primarily because China has bought people off everywhere. But otherwise you're correct, any country like Russia that hasn't "invested" properly beforehand will be given this treatment.
It occurred to me recently that all the old warnings about overpopulation-related dystopias - and non-fiction warnings as well - from the 60s to about the 80s started at roughly Population Eight Billion. (The pooh-bears started pushing it up to 10-15 billion after we hit Pop 5B, then started telling us to stop worrying about it because humans r magic.)
Anyway, the general message was, don't let population get that high, or you'll just be BEGGING for authoritarian/apocalyptic nightmares (and shit, the fiction ones assumed cultural and racial homogeneity!)
In his latest "diversity is our strength" (and it's a quote too) message from Putin, he just said, "I'm a Jew" (lmao).
Also said he's a Chechen, a Tatar, etc. Because apparently being a Russian means always being all that at once, according to the message. (Not mentioned: Ukrainians.)
When I first came across it a few years ago, I considered it to be the sum of my childhood nightmares.
What's sad is Yandex is actually the only good search engine now. Or at least one of the better ones. And thats not from like a first amenedment trying to find uncensored stuff angle, just for general search results. If the first 2 or 3 results of google doesn't have exactly what you need it's pretty much done, Google is just weird spam now. Yandex will actually find web pages based on what you searched.
At the same time though, Russia is literally waging war on another moderately stable and developed country so it's not like these actions are unprovoked. So alluding to some anti-russian conspiracy doesn't make sense when all Russia had to do was not start attacking another country.
OP, the moment you asked of the regressive left idiots would think is when you already went too far. Consequences and critical thinking are completely outside the realm of possibility for a leftist.
Jokes on them, it only makes me want to consume russian things even more. It’s really helped me step up my learning of the language as well, which was already in progress for a couple years. Knowing that somewhere there is an idiot who is upset at the idea of my learning russian and enjoying russian things makes it more enjoyable and keeps me motivated.
They're Fucking CANCELLED!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Klaus Schwab said Russia would lead the 4th industrial revolution, I guess we're seeing how they're going to do it. Fwiw I'm sure all these companies are tied to Blackrock.
I see propaganda. It's everywhere. In the news, on social media, even talking to friends and family.
They don't know it's propaganda. They think it's factual information.
To be fair, i think it’d be kind of cool if the west did less business with Asian corporations.
Welcome to fifth generational warfare.
Also, the wests economic infrastructure is usury and debt slavery since the Enlightenment and it needs to collapse.
Four components of manipulation
F.A.T.E.
Focus: Focus to a story, or a narrative.
Authority: Claimed authority or expert claims it is thus it must be true
Tribe: Tribalism division amongst racial, ideological, ethnic, national lines.
Emotions: Use of emotional charged messaging to push a narrative.
You can establish control and manipulate with just one of these components. The more components that are in use the stronger hold you have over your target. If all four are established you have a zealot.
Russia was the booh-man since forever for the globalist west, and now the Russians decided to advance in a conflict that is almost a decade in a making. NO side is the "good guy" here. People called Ukraine "West Russia" for a reason, way before this bullshit. Zelensky is just as much as an asshole as Putin, if not even worse. But man, he is good at playing the media, i give him that.
It is madness. Hopefully enough people will notice and favour any companies and services that actually do what they're supposed to. (ie, provide goods and services to those who wish to pay for them, without discrimination)
Imagine being this braindead
Because it worked so well against Germany, right?
Apparently this sub is full of retards who have no knowledge of history. There's nothing new about this. It has happened many times in wars past. The difference is that the world is more interconnected now.
It happened to Nazi Germany.
Got more comparable, recent examples?
Ukraine's being saying they'll slaughter any Russians even if they surrender.
Putin has for over a decade warned against NATO from setting up weaponry on Russia's borders. No country wants that level of threat right beside them. That hasn't stopped NATO taking more and more of what could be considered neutral territory until they're right against Russia. US even installed Zelensky and set up multiple biolabs.
I don't like either leader, but Putin's been forced into this. We know what happens from the last two years when you don't stand up for yourself.
The Ukraine isn't exactly a bastion of freedom and free of corruption.
They're Diet Russia.
It's a lie, they don't say any of this at all. They don't even really mistreat prisoners they take, but one supply truck driver caught by a militia was really scared they're going to beat him so he was cowering, and some others were also seen badly terrified and crying. These trucks just drive around without escorts while armored vehicles get ditched because no fuel.
Anyway what they're really saying is they just (yesterday) invited the prisoners mothers to come and take them home. Released some of their messages to their moms too.

"The Brotherhood of the Ukrainian SDF sends its greetings to the Russian artillerymen!
We congratulate you: after you covered our peaceful cities, our relatives, children and loved ones with your brutal shelling, you worms have become our number one target.
Let us explain to you, Vanki: you seem to be far away and you are shooting at targets you cannot see. You don't see small children, old people, houses, kindergartens, schools and hospitals - all these are just targets for you. You shoot, you fly, you hit, you're good, right, fellas?
And now look, you worms: you don't see your goals, which makes it kind of easy for you. But believe me: it will never get easier for you scum. We already have information about you. And if we do not have information about someone else, it's a matter of minutes.
Call your mother one last time. Tell her you're going to die, you jackal. We're not death, we're worse!"
I see some Facebook warrior got carried away in the hate speech against artillerymen in particular. The current version was changed considerably, having removed all the "no prisoners" references (https://facebook.com/usofcom/posts/3212999028931719).
But tbh these guys may still operate on the old Soviet Spetsnaz rules for the behind-enemy-lines "reconeissance and sabotage" missions. Meaning not to be slowed down by prisoners unless taken for a quick interrogation and then to be disposed of anyway. I know the Russians still work like that.
Actually for example American paratroopers in Normandy were told to not take any prisoners in the first 48 hours unless linked with the regular forces, and you can see it in The Band of Brothers as they shoot the Germans trying to surrender in the horse cart column ambush just after the landing and later even shoot the Germans who have been taken prisoner (including a German American guy). I heard the Germans calling them "Terror-Banditen" in one Normandy newsreel of theirs.
ССО Украины means Ukrainian SOF. I don't know what "SDF" could even mean besides Syrian Democratic Forces.
Their wolf emblem is pretty metal.
They admitted to a war crime, so it makes sense they removed evidence. https://archive.ph/j3cfQ
DeepL is a neural network AI translator. It's not perfect, but it produced the most readable results.
In any case "Ukraine" was just a special forces Facebook guy, and "any Russians" were just artillerymen.

Which is why we must ban cats.
Well obviously russian blues are actually Russian sleeper cells. It's only a matter of time before the relatively rare breed get their code word and attack.
Even if Russia is an enemy, the Western elite are far bigger enemies to us. So why should I give a fuck if Russia is waging war against them? Russia isn't waging war against me, and they won't be anytime soon, yet the globalists have waged war against us for years.
We can hope they nuke Washington DC, but they're unlikely to help save us unless the attacks against them go too far.
I assume Cuba as well and probably Iran.
Iran is very divided on Russia. Some in the ruling circles openly call the Russians literal Satanists while praising Ukraine's Jewish leader, which is the weirdest timeline. That's after many years of Russia propping up the Islamic Republic politically and militarily.
In the heavily Iran-influenced Iraq they basically banned the pro-Russian sentiment.
