Decadence generates interesting art. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

Sadly, to my eyes that is a photoshop job, but I heartily agree with the sentiment.

BBC News: I’m horrified by invasion, Russian protester tells BBC
A protester who attended anti-war demonstrations in Moscow last week has told the BBC that they are “horrified” by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The protester, who the BBC has chosen not to identify due to the threat of arrest by Russian police, said they had attended the demonstrations in the knowledge that they faced detention.
Since signing an anti-war letter that appeared online, the protester has been told by their employer that they must sign a declaration admitting they attended the protests in error or face losing their job.
“I want Putin to be removed from office by some democratic, legal process,” they said, adding that nobody in Russia thought he would launch an invasion of Ukraine.
But they said Western sanctions, such as stripping Russia of the right to host the Champions League final, are unfair and target ordinary Russians, rather than the country’s elites.
They added that Russia’s suspension from the Council of Europe - the continent’s oldest political body which aims to uphold human rights, democracy and the rule of law - opens ordinary Russians up to abuses from the government.
Earlier on Saturday, ex-PM and ex-president Dmitry Medvedev suggested in a social media post that Russia’s expulsion could allow the regime to reintroduce the death penalty.

Yes, Mr. Dreher, we’ve heard that before.
It’s probably all he can do not to use the terms “Frankfurt School”, “Cultural Marxism”, and “Rootless Cosmopolitans”. A reminder to others that Dreher is currently held up as an example of a “reasonable American conservative”.

I admire and sympathize with Russian protesters. They are incredibly courageous.
That said, if I may indulge in a little bothsidesism, Russian bombs and missiles are unfair and target ordinary Ukrainians.

He’ll go for a generic “Sad situation, fine people suffering on both sides” kind of comment. A natural con man knows how to keep things vague while still playing to his marks.

That looks weak to the basic.

please hear us out in future when Putin types do bad things in the Middle East. They usually take their “lessons” back to their neighbourhood.
And then into their own home.

I forget whether that image was when 45 was expecting a bad performance review or after the bad performance review…
