It is much more than that. It is very obviously an attempt to use cute animals to raise sympathy for the Ukrainian Army. Everybody likes pictures of cute animals so that is being exploited. For months hundreds of pictures like this have been posted on reddit systematically. If you don´t see the pattern and think that is not an organized propaganda campaign you are simply being naive.
Russia literally invaded a democratic neighboring country. There was a lot of empathy for drafted Russian soldiers until their calls home were leaked and people started finding mass graves full of Ukrainian citizens. I’m not really sure what you’re expecting here?
I expect the responses I’m receiving. I don’t respond expecting any change, I respond with the hope that once in awhile, someone may come along and read a comment that makes them question the narratives that they’ve been taught to blindly accept.
I hope that people can look beyond the propaganda they are hit with and realize that continuing to support this conflict will do nothing to help the Ukrainian citizens. What it will do is create a situation where Ukraine is perpetually indebted to NATO countries and the companies within that wish to exploit Ukraine, further enrich the morally bankrupt military industry, and produce dangerous conditions that the Ukrainian and Russian people will be paying for with their health for decades to come similar to what we see in Laos, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Allowing comments with underlying messages and assumptions that dehumanize a people to go uncontested has already led to widespread acceptance of racism towards “the other,” which is something that is always unacceptable.
I hope people will quit swallowing the tepid justifications for war that the rich and their puppets push. Splitting those of us who have to pay the costs of their destruction along ideological lines that don’t even get to the root of the problem wastes our energy on meaningless discourse and further stabilizes the dictatorship the rich have nearly the entire world under.
The USA literally goes around the entire world invading countries. No one seems to care since I guess those countries are not considered “democratic” (i.e. western, white, blond-haired and blue-eyed) enough.
I honestly believe no reasonable person thinks that reacting to expansionism by trade agreements and diplomacy with counter expansionism by war is justified. If someone is misguided enough to believes it is, cat pictures will probably not help.
You obviously don´t understand at all what reasonable means. Something is reasonable when it is based on logic reasoning (and not on emotion). That is exactly what makes it reasonable.
Reason is the capacity of applying logic consciously by drawing conclusions from new or existing information, with the aim of seeking the truth (…) Reason is sometimes referred to as rationality Source: Wikipedia
Well that excludes you. You are incapable of understanding that these pictures help the animals and harm the ruzzian orcs. Instead you have filled this thread with your implicit approval of the orcs.
My guy hanging with animals, pets or former strays, is what bored soldiers do, all the way back to antiquity. Or at least is one of the more family-friendly things bored soldiers do.
Nothing wrong with that, I have respect for everyone who is taking care of animals in horrible situations as war. Using photos of it for means of propaganda is a whole different topic though.
You don’t have to. Your actions and words are full of tacit approval of the Ruzzians since you refuse to denounce them and have called out the Ukrainian victims here.

As long as it damages any Russian efforts to justify their unilateral genocide… Bring on the cat pics.
“I support fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.”
“It’s such a relief that I can finally channel my racism in a socially-acceptable way now that we are in a proxy war with Russia. Orc orc orc.”

Democracy is when the US does a coup and the country is ruled by Azov and Pravny Sektor, lol

Most people feel before they think. The fact you didn’t consider that leads me to conclude your definition of “reasonable” is flawed.
You obviously don´t understand at all what reasonable means. Something is reasonable when it is based on logic reasoning (and not on emotion). That is exactly what makes it reasonable.
You are naive and inflexible. That is unreasonable.
Also that’s not the definition of reasonable. So you are inexact as well. Bad combination.
I see, so you know better than Wikipedia 🤦

Stop being a hypocrite. Be a better human.
Please quote where I did so. I´m waiting … (hint: you can´t because I never said anything like that)
And here we find out you don’t speak English. Implicit means you didn’t say it out loud, you just said it with your actions.
What a cheap excuse for your baseless claims lol
“Organized propaganda campaign”
My guy hanging with animals, pets or former strays, is what bored soldiers do, all the way back to antiquity. Or at least is one of the more family-friendly things bored soldiers do.
it’s almost like soldiers are human beings just like us, huh wild
Nothing wrong with that, I have respect for everyone who is taking care of animals in horrible situations as war. Using photos of it for means of propaganda is a whole different topic though.
Using your voice to support ruzzian orcs invading Ukraine is also ruzzian orc propaganda. Fucking shill.
You are hallucinating. I never wrote anything like that. Please quote where I did (hint: you can´t because there is no such statement from me)
You don’t have to. Your actions and words are full of tacit approval of the Ruzzians since you refuse to denounce them and have called out the Ukrainian victims here.
