I can only imagine how desperate and helpless an entire generation of children feel in Russia right now, with their fathers sent to die in a worthless war.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Probably with a very tribalistic "the world is against us" mentality.
they're being told they are fighting a righteous war defending Ukrainians from Nazis
And the ones that don't believe it have to shut up. Imagine being against the Iraq War post 9/11 in the US, but your bullies can get you put in jail.
I don't know why you are getting downvoted. It's true and you don't need to be pro-russian or believe it to acknowledge the propaganda.
What I don’t get is how they can look at the rest of the western world backing Ukraine and not wonder “are we the baddies?” Or maybe they do and that creates cognitive dissonance too big to handle. Or they’re told all western countries are Nazis.
You know the insane amount of Russian bots on western-centric websites? Has to be double that on their own sites.
School shootings aren't going to win you American support, Russia. Stay in your lane.

Meh, leave it to Russia to bungle the whole concept of school shootings. If less than two kids get killed, that's just a normal school day here in America. And really what is so tragic about kids getting shot? Life is best to those who live the least of it.
Fucking wow, a mod deleted a whole comment chain because it wasn't directly related to the post. That's pretty fucked. So much for being able to have any sort of discussion here.
Got it mod. No conversation between Lemmy users. Yes sir. Way to be so much fucking better than reddit, huh?
Yeah, there's a lot of censorship going on here.
The modlog is nice, but it's still possible for entire chains to be wiped from view if the post at the top gets removed.
I think we should have the option to see what mods censor. That way everyone wins.

So Russia can list all of their school shootings for the past couple years with details in a condensed lemmy bot post….. very tragic still but damn it usa needs gun reform legislation nationally.
I don’t think we could list all of our school shootings in the past month this concisely, let alone going as far back as the 2020’s.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The 14-year-old girl walked into her school in Bryansk, in western Russia, close to the Ukrainian border, with a shotgun registered in the name of her father, according to local authorities.
“The families of the killed girl and injured children will be provided all the necessary assistance,” Mr Bogomaz said on the messaging app Telegram.
Alexey Kuznetsov, Russia's deputy health minister, said one victim was undergoing surgery, without specifying details.
In March, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Ms Lvova-Belova and Russian President Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes, accusing them of responsibility for the abduction of children from Ukraine.
In September 2022, a gunman opened fire in a school in central Russia, killing 17 people and wounding 24 others before shooting himself dead.
In May 2021, a man opened fire at students at his former high school in the Russian city of Kazan, killing nine people including seven children.
The original article contains 347 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 56%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The middle paragraph is so disjoint. It's only mildly more relevant in the full article.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said the teenager killed one of her classmates and that it was looking into a motive.
Gun was her father's.
