This picture is alleged to be the last picture of him alive.
Worth noting that he opposed russia’s invasion to begin with, and then eventually fell victim to russian influence operations. Yet another death attributable to same weapons of russian disinformation that installed their regime in washington.
Social media companies allow russia to daily deploy some of it’s most effective weapons - it’s high time we sanctioned meta and twitter as partners of the russian military.
Yeah, that was my impression too. He started like a “normal” backpacker who traveled europe to see other places, but unfortunately “free spirit supporting Palestine” to “contrarian susceptible to russian propaganda” is a really short pipeline.
Just for the record, there is absolutely nothing wrong with supporting Palestine, in fact I do so myself. But sadly too large part of this segment of people tend to sway too far into the “west bad” direction.
Tbf the USA in particular makes that pipeline a lot smoother than it needs to be. The Christian right is pretty nuts for supporting Bibi’s war crimes.
The christian right only supports the israeli bullshit they see as leading to “armageddon” because they are in their idiotic eschatological phase.
This gets parroted by left wingers a lot, but I’ve literally never met an American Christian who will come out and say this.
Have you?
Yes I have. Quite a few weirdos. Btw, you are doing the “I have personally not seen this therefore it doesn’t exist” mental acrobatic - because you can see everything everywhere at all times, and what other people have to say doesnt matter.

You’ve gone from “the Christian right only believes this because” to “quite a few weirdos I have met personally”, and I’m the one doing mental acrobatics?
You’re painting with the same broad brush right wingers do when they say all leftists are gay furry terrorists.
Do you want to understand your enemy, or just demonize them?
stop distorting the reality of the situation. you’ve had your head in the sand if you’ve never met christians who are accelerationists, who want the end times now. they’re not an isolated one off.

I understand what I need to understand. My experiences with them IRL have led me to my current position.
Have you ever met any Evangelical Christians?
I was raised Baptist and the rebuilding of Temple Mount/the Third Temple (destroying the dome of the rock in the process) is religious doctrine. They believe it has to happen for the messiah to return.
They eagerly await WWIII in the middle east as part of their end times prophecies. I’ve met dozens (easily) who’ll get there in a conversation, but you have to talk to them as a believer.
WHERE’S THE VIDEO?
somewhere here !combatvideos@sh.itjust.works - everything there is nsfw btw bc its war footage
What’s with the nsfw warning? I know what I am asking for. I’ve been searching through the worst on telegram trying to find this video with no luck.
Giving you a warning doesn’t hurt you in any way, calm down.
