Though women of all ages are the most frequent targets of sexual violence, Russians use rape as a “deliberate tactic” to dehumanize victims regardless of sex, Insider previously reported.
“When women are held for days and raped, when you start to rape little boys and men, when you see a series of genital mutilations, when you hear women testify about Russian soldiers equipped with Viagra, it’s clearly a military strategy,” Pramila Patten, the UN’s special representative on sexual violence in conflict, told AFP, per France 24.
Fucking hell…
Information Warfare 101: Tell your citizens about the unspeakable atrocities comitted by your enemy to dehumanise them. Repeat, on both sides. “Nuke these bastards” is exactly what those stories lead to.
I’m not defending russia in any way, this war is a horrible crime and every person killed, injured or raped is one too many. Noone deserves this.
businessinsider dot com and dot nl suck so hard. can someone copy and paste the article here?
You should go into uBlock Origin settings, then filters, and enabled all of the annoyance filters. I didn’t even notice anything because all that crap is blocked by default for me
Thanks. Lemmy convinced me to switch from Chrome to Firefox, and explained the benefits. I’ve seen other lemmards mention ublock origin, so I guess I have to take your advice.
I’m glad you showed interest! Would you like us to send a missionary to your home to preach the good word of Linux?
I like Ubuntu more than Windows but so many videogames are Windows only.
Which games do you play that don’t work on Linux?
fallout 3, new vegas, 4, and shelter. battlefield 4. frostpunk. GTA V. state of decay 2 juggernaut addition. other games.
Not sure how long it’s been since you’ve tried Linux, those all actually work perfectly out of the box. Even the online works on Bf4 and Gta5. If you have Steam, you just download and run them like you would on Windows. Though I’d say go to the properties and change to “proton experimental” for a bit of a better experience imo, but not needed.
If you want to check without downloading and testing yourself, you can check this site for how well it runs, vs if it needs tweaks or flat out doesn’t work. https://www.protondb.com/

use “bypass paywalls clean”
Holy shit
That is immense
Thank you
Ever heard of Adblockers, DuckDuckGo, Firefox, Universal Bypass?
I’m using those. Thanks.
Set DDG or firefox as default. So any news article you click on will be opened via those and most often you’ll be able to read article without any issues.
Just de-Nazifying! /s
That’s not a surprise. That’s a russian way of doing things. Everywhere, everytime and any time.

russiansoldier way of doing things. Everywhere, everytime and any time.FTFY. Italy doesn’t forget the allies raping in 1944 and Mahmoudiya happened in 2006.
Or the Japanese army during WWII.
Rape isn’t unique to any specific country, cuture, or military. It’s been used as a weapon of war since time immemorial. Absolutely disgusting.
Yeah but like, heroically, right? Where’s that in your cannon fodder recruiting commercial, Putin?
Where are they getting these IRL GWAR characters?
Theyve always been there. Every military in the world is an attractive spot for these people. They want to get the chance to reach a foreign zone where their superiors will let them do whatever they please, unless they are the commanding officer, in that case bets are off.
Every army has its share of Ed Gallaghers, sure. But it seems like the Russians have like… a lot of sociopaths. Something to do with recruiting from prisons, or just the disquieting power of hateful state media?
Hazing in the Russian military (dedovshchina) is horrifying, straight up torture, mutilation and even murder. Families often use their entire savings to bribe officials so their sons aren’t conscripted. So the Russian military is made up of the dregs of society, people so destitute they can’t pay their way out of military service. Mental health issues are prevalent, either from their past life or from the hazing itself.

I think this is a pretty commonly held misconception about the nature of genocide or crimes against humanity. We all have the potential to partake in such actions, the vast majority of people who partake in these crimes are just every day normal people.
The Russian military creates misery wherever they go because being in the Russian military has been a miserable state of existence for the last three hundred years.
No matter what government or time and place in history, being enlisted or conscripted in the Russian military has meant that you will be hazed, raped, stolen from, and then made to rape, steal, and haze new recruits. It’s an actual part of how they maintain institutional discipline.
