Lol imaginary. NAFO isn't a thing, please ignore thousands of anti-Russian accounts on various social media, please ignore this 3k page thread filled with anti-Russian sentiment excitedly posting about any (however small) Russian fumbling. It's all a mirage, don't trust your lying eyes.
I asked you if it's not the millions of posts and many of these publics accounts with huge clout, who should we turn to for accurate representation of reality? You've yet to give me the reliable alternative that you'd suggest.
The real world is the reliable alternative. Its the same as with the culture wars of the internet on feminism, incels, wokeness etc. Listen to political scientists. Listen to mainstream media. Go out. And youll see that most people are sensible and what you see is the Twitter algorithm feeding your hunger for sensationalism (or getting offended by it). I didnt even know what NAFO was before this exchange... which kinda tells how irrelevant it is because i follow mainstream media.
I dont understand exactly what is it that makes you think this is so relevant? Like i literally dont. Iirc you denied being Russian... so wheres the problem? Even if you were Russian, if you dont support this war... then what is it that bothers you? That the Russians who support the war are ostracized? They have a police state they can find comfort within if Western ostracism makes them feel sad.
That being said, its probably miserable being an average Russian in Russia. You fear NATO but you fear your own state even more...
