Russia lauding torture was unthinkable – now it is proud to do so (www.theguardian.com)

After two years of war in Ukraine, videos of death and torture have become commonplace in Russia. And methods of torture once only spoken about in witness testimonials are now being promoted online by the perpetrators themselves as they publish photos and videos of brutality for bragging rights.

What a fucked up society to cheer for coercion from torture and rape to domestic violence and not feel the least bit empathy. Deranged.

There was that US TV series basically celebrating torture called 24. Not to mention every other movie or TV series with an interrogation scene.

You compare a TV series with the actual cheering of russian people for rape and torture in ukraine? When the pictures of Guantanamo and other black sides went public the outcry and protest were big. Please, show me the protest in russia about the revelations that their own people rape and torture. I will wait here.

It was literally in the article:

The Crew Against Torture, a Russian NGO that was previously known as the Committee Against Torture, said with regards to the original attack that “the answer to barbarism must not be barbarism”, and that that the value of testimony extracted by law enforcement agents under torture was critically low.
