"Putin will teach you how to love the motherland."
Januarisays...

The stupidity of it is just incredible. Had they not touched them... there song and video would have received virtually no attention. Congrats gentlemen you made their protest infinity more effective then they ever could have on their own.

Seriously, also if they just "Detained" them it wouldn't be a big deal. But WHIPPED, just using that word is fucking ridiculous. Having video to accompany that word, holy shit.

I hope you are right, but the thing is that violence like this proven to be terribly effective. If you can ensure people believe they could be next if they make a noise or complaint, this strategy of violent intimidation works. Make no mistakes about just how and why Putin got to where he is and remains there now.

Thugs and criminals generally prevail until they are slaughtered in the streets or otherwise extricated in a similar, familiar fashion. It's all certain types can understand or relate to, relative to the abuse they suffered as children.

Putins' a rabid thug with fetching smile, stolen money and style, and a monolithic propaganda machine at his disposal-The worst kind of an enemy to humanity.

Totally uncalled for and outrageous that they were allowed to commit such violence for no reason whatsoever. Animals.

That's Russia for you.

Paybacksays...

I'm disturbed by this. Not the violence portrayed but the fact I'm dubious as to the sincerity of it.

My first thought was they got EXACTLY what they wanted. Then I thought maybe they got exactly what they wanted because all parts were controlled, Pussy, "Cossacks", media and "Police".

This seems more like performance art than a true trampled protest.

"Putin will teach you how to love the Motherland" seems a caricature to me.

I'm also not a fan of immersionist journalism which VICE uses as their raison d'etre (They're from Quebec). Seems to much like the polar opposite of whatever it is you call Fox News. Both are propaganda I guess.

I don't doubt the whippees were harmed. I'm sure it hurt like a somnabitch. I also know people are willing to do a lot of crap for a cause. Hell, there are a lot of people who getting beat like this just means it was a fun Saturday night.
