Karma is the number of points earned for posts and comments. In this example, it shows that the posts were quite appreciated. Until you came with your spam accusation.
You are welcome to post the news. It's just that @SoniKozak erroneously accused you of spamming. Please take it easy.
Soviet Communism was already a totalitarian cult, but it still made some sense when it was alive. Pootin revived the corpse of this cult - and the Frankenstein he made will eventually kill him.
Thank you for your kind support 🙏 See the outcomes of somewhat similar Russo-Japanese war: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Japanese_War
And the Crimean war: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_War
It says: "Смерть клятим москалям. Дмитро Бичовий". In English, "Death to cursed (damned) muscovites. Dmytro Bychovyj". The black tape fits the inscription quite well.
It seems that it's due to the two-party system. When there are effectively only two parties, the opposition party needs to collect all the votes of those dissatisfied with the ruling party. Hence it develops positions contrary to the positions of the ruling party - whatever they are.
Had the ruling party decreed that all eggs be broken on the smaller end, the opposition party would take a position that all eggs be broken on the bigger end, just to win the most of disagreeing electorate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilliput_and_Blefuscu
And in the modern developed world, people often derive their opinions from social media - heavily influenced by Ruscist propagandists and populists. Hence the people who are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs easily pick up Ruscist or populist narratives. Especially since these narratives are simplistic and play on hate, greed or ignorance. And the only opposition party tries to win the votes of these people. In such a way, Ruscist and populist narratives make their way into opposition parties.
IMHO, in the United States, the electoral reform would allow for more parties to compete, and thus would make the political discussion more multifaceted and meaningful: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_reform_in_the_United_States

- politics is interested in you 😉
Fun fact: when my father was a student in Soviet Russia (and when I studied in a Soviet school), there was an obligation to conduct "political information" briefings for fellow students. My father noticed that in the process, he started to believe the propaganda somewhat. There was no way to retell the propaganda lines without believing them a bit. This principle of brainwashing is so morbid and little known that I doubt it can be formulated in a joke. Can it?
- government votes for you 😉
