I think too much time is spent on two hyped-up farts.
I see some 50 words has caused more Facebook and YouTube content than the most prolific opposition leader could do in a lifetime. Knights of pen and microphone rose to defend the honour of the damsel whose good name certain blasphemers dare to tarnish. They are ready to fight for the exact meaning of the words that remain unsaid to this day, and compete in their estimates of the profundity of the changes they foresee - no, they already feel. Oh, how they wish they could only be as brave as her! How they would make the regime shake in fear of the popular grunt of discontent!
Meanwhile, hundreds of dead bodies with unambiguous signs of torture did not cause such a stir. There's no controversy here, nothing to discuss - certainly, not the kind of thing that can make the lumpens get their pitchforks and go make the regime tremble.
You know? I can imagine Arestovich and Feygin say something like a one-liner: blah-450-bodies-blah-just-like-Bucha-blah. Is that it? Why not spend 1 hour with attention to detail? Here's a body with ripped out toenails. And before they change the topic, here's another with broken bones,
and another with missing tongue and ears. Here's a mass grave of 17 soldiers. What were their names? Do they have a mother? A daughter? A son perhaps? Here's a six year old. Who shot her? Let's discuss what this could possibly mean. Could this be a challenge to the Putin's regime? Does this look like the omen all the people of Russia were waiting for? And before we finish that topic, who ordered that and how they all ended up in that part of the world? What can we do to make sure these motherfuckers don't get away with it? Now, that would be some conversation! Eh?.. but no. The chopped off heels are just chopped off heels, this is an explicit act, there is no hidden menace to the Russians in it, no controversy, no gossip to discuss, not even a moral...
Isn't this a true picture?
