When the West talks about “Russian state media,” they mean anyone who supports, or is perceived to support, the Russian government. It’s the “Assange Test.” Julian Assange was assumed, without evidence, to be a Russian government agent because he released documents that were helpful to Donald Trump, who was in turn viewed as helpful to Russian government interests.
So, if they’re banning all Russia supporters, then the content they are demonetizing is all from Russians who don’t support Russia.
They’re being punished for their ethnicity.

The Western ruling elite have declared war on Russians as a group, regardless of their affiliation.
Notably, they’ve basically done the same to the Ukrainians, with a Jewish leadership and entirely Jewish media deciding to manipulate them into thinking they can somehow win a war with Russia, ensuring that as many of them as possible die, and as much of their infrastructure is wrecked, before they are eventually forced to surrender to Russia anyway.
RT:
YouTube, owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, announced on Friday it would block access to “Russian state media” channels across the globe and block all monetization on its platform inside Russia, citing the conflict in Ukraine.
The video-sharing platform wants to remove content “denying, minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events,” as it goes against its Community Guidelines, YouTube said in a statement on Friday, specifically referring to content “about Russia’s invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy.”
Having blocked RT and Sputnik in the European Union – at the request of EU governments – on March 1, YouTube announced on Friday it was expanding this censorship to the entire planet, and including all channels “associated with Russian state-funded media.”
Nothing like this has ever happened before – the entire population of a country being systematically discriminated against because of a war.
As I mentioned earlier this week, the closest thing you can compare it to is what Nazis did to the Jews. A reader complained about the analogy, saying that it should be compared to what the Jews did to Nazis.
But the UK didn’t ban Mozart or Beethoven compositions from being performed in America during World War II, nor did they ban all German nationals from everything on earth.
As I said the first time – Hitler’s actions were justified, as he correctly viewed Jewish culture and the Jews as a group as threatening to Germany. More or less, all Jewish “art” that I’ve ever run across – with a few notable exceptions – has been entirely for the purpose of subverting Western Christian civilization. So I understand why the Nazis took the position they did. I would support a similar attitude towards Jews as a group and a culture in America now (pushing for that is kind of the purpose of this website, actually).
But the analogy still stands, and it is the only comparison I can think of to what is happening right now to Russians.
It really is “Russophobia.” I always cringed at that term, because it sounds whiny, but I just don’t know what else you can possibly call this.
As a side effect, they are turning Russia into a paradise.
