Anyone got any more material? There's someone I need to convince that Russia is actually evil and that it's not just them responding to the west/nato and that the Ukrainian war was unjustified

People tend to respond poorly to facts when they've made up their minds. Good luck!

Or maybe they're just too susceptible to Russian propaganda, it seems to seep deeply into the psyches of some people- most (from my perspective) it's the conspiracy, anti Vax, "the whole world is against me" type people.

Or it's the "my government is always right and I don't question the things they are showing me" people
