Sharing this incredible YouTube channel which does uncensored street interviews in Russia and Belarus, interviewing both sides of the spectrum. Here are my thoughts, before they inevitably censor this channel or arrest this brilliant group of young journalists:








- It is horrifying to see what lack of freedom of speech does to people. Some people are afraid to answer the reporter questions, some people walk out of the interview, other people say "I'm afraid to go to Jail", others have more nuance and give cynical answers or an uncomfortable or "yellow" laugh. Lots of half sentences and unsaid truths.
- Although the elections are staged and there is no real democratic process, the support for Putin is real, overwhelmingly in the older population >40. Younger people interviewed mention getting their news from Telegram, independent websites or "foreign" media, which highlights the importance of free media (or more accurately "free-er media") and how that conditions the older population, who only gets news from Russian television. A problem as old as humanity itself unfortunately. That's why we need tools like Bitcoin, Tor and Nostr, to enforce freedom through code #grownostr
- "All evil in the world comes from the silence of good people" - some denounce the passivity and resignation of their countrymen who enable this as long as they can get a basic decent life. But without access to guns or even basic freedom of assembly (online and in person), it is almost impossible to see how they can fight for a better life
- Everyone on either side already knows, at this stage, that there is a full scale war against Ukraine going on, especially with recent attacks by drones on Russian soil.
- I am grateful that I can make this post without fear of repercussions, although I do fear that our western government are increasingly more incompetent, ignorant, corrupt, authoritarian and complacent with war crimes. Freedom is everyone's responsibility, at all times, everywhere. We must not let it get worse.
