I dont't know what they can do to Ukraine that Russia hasn't done already. Maybe target things Russia has been avoiding? Like decision making.

Also deepseek didn't come out of nowhere. I remember checking one of the five year plans in which they put a lot of focus on development of ai, and this was before chatgpt was released and several companies like google had to catch up.

Which is then used to justify its actions.
Reminds me a bit of the "war on terror".

Trusted source vs Propaganda outlet
Media regulation vs State censorship
Rule of law vs Human rights violations

We should really document this language.

For anyone who is in possession of a machine gun, that country feels they have the right to kidnap you.

It was definitely not every man, woman and child of any specific nationality, however you dislike it.

How? Someone has been secretly planting animosity against an entire nationality of innocent people in mainstream culture.
That is bad enough before you realize it's a military organization trying to make itself relevant again through renewed war.

There are lots of cultural opposition movements online, like against work exploitation, consumerism, car culture, surveillance, intellectual property, etc. I can find communities on lemmy for all those topics. But regarding a more general opposition to advertisements and marketing, other than the occasional person telling others to use adblockers online (what about ads in every day life?), I fail to see organized attempts to challenge advertisements. There is a lot that can be scrutinized. Ethical concerns such as manipulation, lack of consent and just the simple fact your attention is for sale. The effects range from damage to environment, to our mental health, to harming industries themselves, lowering product quality and maintaining monopolies.

 

Bonus question: What is an invention that was really important and there is no telling how long we would have to wait for it to appear had it not been discovered by the one credited with it?
