Apparently, there's a government apparatus in Russia set up to protect Putler from being ridiculed online, and to protect his carefully crafted machismo persona. I wondered if this could actually be real. Well, here's a 20 year old story that lends a great deal of credence to the notion: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2003/jan/30/harrypotter.news

Please use the remainder of this thread as a depository for memes belittling Little Zaches.

Kind of disingenuous, Russia has banned what they view as western influenced media because they see them as subversive actors working to undermine the government. Most likely other media is swept up at the same time for conveniences sake but the justification for it is the subversive elements.

While I'm never in favor of the government censoring things, this isn't happening in a vacuum, it is clearly a response to how a lot of US foreign policy is conducted. If you disagree than can you explain organizations like NED(National Endowment for Democracy)?

The reason they search keywords like that is pretty obvious. Let's imagine the US implemented a similar law, if they wanted to find anti government actors online they would search up words keywords like "sleepy joe" or "killary" or stupid shit like that lol.

And that dobby story is bottom of the barrel tabloid trash, there is nothing backing it up, if you can find who the group of lawyers was, or what law firm they worked for, or where it was even said originally other than "a Russian newspaper" I'll give it some credit but until then it has no substance. He does look like dobby though, that part was funny.

Apparently, Western media only reported what came out of Russian media. I'm not a Russian media expert.

Now, did Putin secretly invade the Grammys?

You be the judge.

Latest Russian missile.

Right but there is no source to the Russian media and you can't find who the group of lawyers was or any information beyond what little is in that article. If someone can find the source or any additional info I'd be fine with it, could be true but there is no evidence that I can find anyway.

He sure has gotten quite puffy lol

Article 29(5) of the Constitution of Russia states, "The freedom of the mass media shall be guaranteed. Censorship shall be prohibited."


Had to laugh though. Dictator controls and censors all forms of free media, murders journalists and crushes dissent; "Its the US Foreign Policies fault"

An informed and nuanced opinion as always.

Thanks for the laugh. Those boots must taste delicious.

Of 5,500 votes cast, just over 54 per cent agreed that Putin and Dobby had probably been separated at birth.

O k a y ... I think that's the nose.

Btw you right, better to call him an house-elf

Broken record.
