Oct 11, 2026, 10:56 PM@smolcasm@void.lgbt @sam@shonk.sam.ax @mia@fedi.snuggle.city i am russian myself. I haven't seen a single person who hasn't internalized it, and I'm not even from moscow (where this stuff is worse than elsewhere)
it isn’t ours to know at a mere glance whether someone has done the work or noti also didn't say anything about that, did i? but it's obvious when you talk to them
Oct 11, 2026, 10:58 PM@smolcasm@void.lgbt @sam@shonk.sam.ax @mia@fedi.snuggle.city like as a more concrete example. If russian history textbooks extensively rewrite history (which they do. A lot. And even more so since 2022), how would somebody who hasn't done the work to verify it separately not absorb the russian version of it?
Oct 12, 2026, 12:02 AM@smolcasm@void.lgbt @alice@mk.nyaa.place @mia@fedi.snuggle.city hmm, what parts of the history did they rewrite?
