The above footage is alleged to be from the GoPro of a dead American Reddit Rambo, killed by Russian forces. The Russians posted the footage from the GoPro. I can’t find an extended version.
There isn’t really any context to it. I suppose it’s somewhere outside Kiev in a heavy battle zone, as that’s where Zelensky has been sending reddit.
It’s kind of sad.
It’s not sad that they’re dead. That’s funny. It’s sad that my own countrymen are so retarded.
Where were you on January 6, 2021, faggot?
Here’s another recent video from American redditor deserters. One of these guys looks Puerto Rican or something (what the heck?).

The Telegraph has a story up about a British volunteer/deserter who was at the training base in Lviv that was bombed. They’re still using the “35 dead” number, enough though after the Russians claimed 180 dead, multiple foreign deserters put the number at more than 200.
People from reddit going to die in an unwinnable border skirmish in the former USSR because social media told them it would make them morally good, and because they believe it will be like a video game, is existentially hilarious.
This is a kind of end stage of hyperreality, where you die in a real life war because you thought it would be like a video game war.
