In Germany, Office for the Protection of the Constitution is now monitoring organizations they think might me close to Putin
In Britain, it's not just lawyers working for oligarchs that are being attacked; striking rail unions are being called Putin apologists &enemy underground
If you thought Russians getting kicked out in sports, music, literature, academia is a temporary phenomenon, then watch this.
This is just the beginning. Fascism is rising all over Europe. Censorship, loyalty tests, surveillance; all going to get worse.
It's okay now to kick someone out for raising questions saying that supporting Putin is advocating violence. But calling for no-fly zones and arming nazis is not.

They are telling the public that German Jews, German Communists, German queer people, German disabled people, German dissidents; none of them are real Germans and deserved to be murdered by the Nazis.
When you defend arming Nazis, you usually have to think like them.
All this Holocaust denial has already of course been used as part of war propaganda in Syria. Ukraine propaganda is Syria rebooted on steroids.
Here's White House Press Secretary in 2017 saying Hitler didn't use chemical weapons against his own people.
Western Media has made the entire world forget that Zelensky was elected on a platform to make peace with Russia.
Here's a video of him before his Presidency where he calls out Banderites for what they are (Nazis trained by Americans who want them as NATO henchmen).
Last week, the Ukrainian Parliament passed a bill that legalized the very thing that Zelensky was correctly characterizing as fascism: seizing and confiscating Russian and Russian-owned assets.
There are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who also hold Russian passports.
Ihor Kolomoyskyi, the Jewish billionaire and former governor of Dnipropetrovsk that Zelensky is referring to in this video, is known to have funded Aidar, Azov, Dnipro, Dnepr1, Dnepr2 and Donbass battalions.
There are documented instances of war crimes by these battalions.

Valentina Listsa, American pianist of Ukrainian origin who became famous through Youtubee, was the one who exposed Zaverukha, forcing Elle to apologize for glorifying Nazis.
Lisitsa was banned from performing with Toronto Symphony Orchestra for her anti-war anti-genocide views.
Zaverukha, along with 4 other Aidar/Azov Nazis were later charged with robbing a gas station and murdering police officers in the shooting that followed. She was bailed out by a Ukrainian businessman.
Economic Survey 2022 ranks the pandemic response of different states in India according to expected covid19 deaths (based on population, population density, demographics and number of tests conducted) to actually reported deaths.
Kerala comes out on top. 1/n
Note that this ranking is based on reported covid19 deaths, which is comparably very high in Kerala, and not excess deaths/all-cause mortality, which is what should actually be looked at to evaluate the impact of government policies during the last couple of years. 2/n
Factoring in only reported covid19 deaths fails to account for differences in testing strategy, reporting of deaths, impact of lockdown and other policies on access to healthcare, related impact on mortality (due to a host of reasons including hunger), among others. 3/n

👇🏾1/n
1. Changed the SoP in place that had resulted in 0 covid cases in Lakshadweep in all of 2020. Cases have sky rocketed since and 317 cases were reported just yesterday. Total of 22 deaths.
3. Enact a Goonda Act when Lakshadweep has the lowest crime rate in the country. The people believe this is to target those protesting against union government policies.
