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.
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.
