Canceled Because of War Crimes?

 

"Look, Russia is now being canceled."

There's this funny old thing about Russian psyops, they pay really close attention to what we're supposedly doing in "the West" but it's a funhouse version, just like, for whatever reason, Fox News is like a funhouse version of reality. Monica Crowley equating sanctions and unrest with whatever canceling seems to mean. Seriously, Monica Crowley and Fox News? It's not that. 

This reminds me so much of Papa John bitching at CPAC that he got canceled because he said the N-word. Not because these things are similar, but because "canceled" is a stupid concept that bad people bitch about when everyone recognizes they are too problematic to fuck with. So, wouldn't you know it, but Russian Foreign intelligence Director Sergei Naryshkin ends up using this same language--Russia is being "canceled." 

Man, it's a shame we are being so woke about how Russia is bombing children and old people and hospitals and targeting civilians and just very recently caused a fire at a major nuclear plant and then fired at the firefighters. Wow, why is everyone shading Russia now with their ULM (Ukrainian Lives Matter) empathy over the genuine fear that the crazy person in charge is maybe going to annihilate tens of thousands?

How stupid is this line of bullshit? So stupid Karyn Boroshenko  (I think "late" of Prager U) also went for it, the weirdo who also thinks Jews chose to die in the Holocaust, is cool with it. "Why we aren't giving genocides more slack these days, srsly?" is certainly some kind of...ethos. I guess. 

But this is how the cancel culture cookie crumbles--I mean, couldn't we see this coming? Russia has been claiming to be anti-woke for a while. They certainly have been anti-LGBT. Trump MAGA-fan Steve Bannon was just chortling recently about how anti-woke Russia is. So, do they really think they can conflate anti-wokeness and actual war crimes into a narrative about how the whole rest of the civilized world is "too touchy-feely"? 

I literally think they think they can. I mean, in a world where some people are pro-Pinochet and ROFLCOPTERRIDES, maybe they think a significant portion of the world is significantly black-pilled to be cool with all the death. They will make up reasons like lamely suggesting US biolabs or Ukrainian dirty bombs exist, and the dupes in the ether will just go from there. And some people will believe or pretend they do, because some people are always just like that. 

But there is no reasonable doubt here--we see them. The sanctions exist because of what Putin is directing. If anyone wants to be mad about what will befall Russia's economy--look no further than Putin's decision. And while we are at it, consider whether "cancelation" is just another word for "accountability". 

Maybe the world could use more of it, actually.

Ingraham: Even if we could expeditiously freeze every oligarch’s luxury assets, would that really stop the suffering of the Ukrainian people? More importantly we have to ask will this all backfire and make things worse for Ukraine? pic.twitter.com/P4QAFXdw84

Is canceling rich Russians even going to work?

UPDATE: Jack Hanick was a part of the Hannity show and while Hannity promoted Trump, the Wikileaks, the Seth Rich lie, etc, Hanick left before then. But still. I have questions.
