Horrifying. FIFTEEN meter tsunami hit Fukushima. All the scared people and yelling and confusion. Just terrible. This is so much more intense and so much larger in scale than I imagined it when reading about it at the time.

It was crazy to see all the people just stuck when the trains stopped running. Gobs of people just walking down the middle of streets trying to get home at night with no other way.

Someone else posted this yesterday, interesting new footage I’ve not seen before. Crazy earthquakes!

I can’t skip fast enough when those epoch commercial come on. The stealing of organs has been reported on by quite a few… it’s not quite the same as Jewish space lasers.

Yup, my reddit-fu was lacking yesterday, thank you!

This documentary really got to me, especially the human perspective of the disaster being showcased.

I was in western Tokyo. Incredibly strong shaking. It was hard to watch the news as it happened.

As a kid growing up I would always see Tsunami depicted as a giant wave like a surfer would ride. After this happened I realized why we called them Tidal Waves in the states and that they are way way WAY more terrifying than any giant wave could be. Might as well be a giant blender chewing up towns. Unreal amounts of destruction.

Same. I was living in Tokyo. The big earthquake and all that daily afterquake after that gave me PTSD for a long time. One time I was staying at a tiny resort on a small island in Cambodia, the strong wind blowing underneath my hut kept me awake all night coz I kept thinking it's the tsunami.

Already posted but anyway a very important source of footage and great documentary. Scary stuff to say the least.

Putin studied Bush before they met. He knew Bush was a recent "Born Again" Christian, so Putin made up a stupid story about how a cross his grandmother gave him survived through a fire (and possibly war, but I can't remember). And Bush fell for it.

I had some serious stress reliving this. Even though I live in Tokyo which was unaffected by the Tsunami, I felt like it was happening all over again.

It’s a great doc. Watch with something to clutch or hug. It isn’t easy.

Was about to post this too. Crazy moments captured and put together in a timeline.

Must have been pure Horror.

forced to fight or paid to fight? if you accepted dollars or money to fight, i got some fucking really bad news for you

Yes it does. It means you've not been there.

It's a waste of time.

In my country, anyone who didn't follow the narrative were quickly shut down, and excluded from participating. Even the old commies were "forced" (well they have no spine) to support NATO. Otherwise they were basically Nazis.

Russian media like RT was actually quickly banned as well. People who dared support Russia are fined in some countries ("Z" suddenly as bad as swastika). All of our media serves the same western lies about the Ukraine war, lack of insight as to what lies behind so people have no idea what it's about - but they sure hate them russians! (Feels like 1956). Google makes sure to bury any media that doesn't behave, as "misinformation" sites. Same obviously goes for all the other sites westernes use to find information.

So much for freedom.

But oh right, Russia bad!! Putin bad!! 🤡

Well, there is plenty of stuff that’s pro-russian, but it will likely be russian propaganda because their media is fully state controlled now

Turns out he got a "sense of his soul" as he didn't actually have one.

Yeah, this one was meh. I don’t think I learned anything new out of this

Frontline is generally really good but this one is war mongering trash.

If you agree that the American point of view as expressed by our mainstream/corporate media is just propaganda, too - but with a decentralized and privatized veneer - then yes. That was the point I was trying to make the whole time.

Didn’t think I had to clarify that just because I’m saying what we’re getting in our media is an American point of view and far from objective truth doesn’t mean I’m saying Russian news is to be trusted.

Everyone already knows about Russian propaganda. In fact, they’re so sensitive to it that they constantly label anything that deviates from their understanding of these issues as such. Yet most seem inexplicably credulous of the official narratives as told by our government and media here when they simply don’t have a track record of being honest, save for some occasional solid journalism.

Edit: Added a few words for clarity.

So then you’re arguing nothing and agreeing with me, cool.

I never once even remotely suggested Russian news isn’t propaganda.

This coming from you who believes totalitarian countries are a great source for news. In the 1940s you’d be saying how actually we should be able to get news from Nazi germany. You are out of your league intellectually. Go to bed
