Like trump like putin like the idea of putins mass indiscrimanate killing
Psychopathic autocrats are all the same regardless of country.

We need to learn to keep autocratic toxic assholes away from power.

Even if it looks like discrimination against them,they need to be discriminated against. Because these fuckers cause too much suffering everywhere they are in power. For the sake of the world put these kinds of fuckers on very short leashes away from all power structures and leadership positions.

Wish more non- toxic people understood this.

Russia close second, UK, France, Germany, Canada etc……The West arms industry is the worlds leading exporter of war and destruction and are the girl guys for autocrats to be autocrats.. Profitable otherwise?…very.

The West may not be autocratic but that is psychotic.

Meanwhile good bro to America Israel continues to supply spare parts for the killer drones, efficient and cheap…for US dollars only ofc… sold!… now killing Ukrainians.

And won’t join sanctions…I hear the thunder of hypocrisy.

....very Pro-Ukraine. A lot of big time creators are extremely critical of Pootin and honest about the situation. Multicolor profile photos depicting Poot in drag are also very popular.

Tik Tok is largely what you make it. It can become an echo chamber easily. If you want the pro-pooty vids, you can find them and the algorithm will keep that on your feed for the most part. Same if you want pro-UK. There is a very large contingent of anti-Poot, anti-GQP, anti-TFG content on there. TT is not all doom and gloom and there are people using it to work hard for good things.

Anecdotal? Yes. Does TT have big issues? Hell yeah. Is it full fascist? No.
