what's disturbing me this week is this alienisation of Russian sports people.
they are no more responsible for the actions of their country than you are, no one chooses where they are born or the actions of their countrymen.
this is another powerful attempt at othering and the sheep are lapping it up like 'good Nazis'
I don't know about “dehumanising”. Virtue signallers and other compliant ”sheep”, as well as the sociopathic, kleptocratic, tyrannical megalomaniacs calling the shots, are all too human, unfortunately. We need to work out how to control the nature of our own kind. I call that public self-control (term coined in shower recently).
They do indeed. I pointed out to a podgy lady enthusiastically supporting "freedom fighters" from foreign countries signing up to fight alongside Ukrainians that this was no different than lads from elsewhere going to fight with ISIS a few years ago. The cognitive dissonance was evident only in her sweaty red face, which seethed with rage and confusion--or noble indignation, as she sees it, "justice" on behalf of the most recent group the msm had told her to get all hot and bothered over.

Its all so very disgusting and dehumanising, and the virtue signallers just bloody love it

Imagine how much worse it would be if the Ukrainians were BIPOC trans bodies of color.
