Indeed. My recollection of similar threads at the time was not a celebration of Russian deaths, but a mockery of official Russian statistics that were claiming an implausibly low number of hospitalised and dead.


How I wish all those threads weren't all systematically deleted after one week, so we could delve into them right now, but they were, for some reason. And here's my anonymous word against yours. The celebration of Russian deaths started out as morbid innuendos. Example: "Oof, i really really hope not more Russians die, wink-wink. lmao". As time went on the comments became more open and more vile. No objecting voice was left in the threads, as they were cleaned by the free mods into a perfect echo chamber. A fake testament to how alone you are in opposing such thinking.
