Anyone else not able to access RT.com?

submitted by Blackbrownfreestuff from self.debatealtright

I am looking for Russian news, but can't get the website to load. Does anyone know how to access it? I heard they got demonitized or dropped from YouTube but I didn't hear anything about RT on the web.

The EU banned it.

What are they so afraid of?

If I had to wager a guess, I would say they are afraid of enemy propaganda contradicting their own propaganda and confusing the hated plebeians unnecessarily.

So much for "freedom of the press". This is a dangerous precedent they're setting. They're eroding their own myths openly now. The elites are even more desperate than I thought.

"Freedom of the press" has been a lie from the very beginning, whenever dissidents do anything that matters they always get persecuted.

Of course. That's why I put it in quotes, but it's now in the open.

I'm against censorship, but I disagree the reasons were desperate.

The EU stands a better chance at outlasting Russia, if the later spends a huge chunk of their GDP on military, while the internal economy collapses.

It's actually a race against time for Putin. How far is he willing to drag out war, when Russian currency reaches Venezuela levels of inflation?

That's utter nonsense. It's so wrong that I don't even know where to begin.

Again, totally false.

At this point I'm convinced you're a paid shill for the CIA. I already blocked socks and you're next if you keep spouting this garbage, radicalfag.

I have to double check the source, but last I heard Russia is spending $20 Billion a day on invading Ukraine.

Remember that the U.S had to spend TRILLIONS just to invade and occupy Iraq & Afghanistan. There's no way Putin can pull the same cash out of his pocket. Especially when his nation is completely cut off from the world right now.

Works on Tor browser. Brave on PC gives me DDoS protection screen loading infinitely (happened before too), Brave on Android gives me Error 403. It's on RT's part it seems. It will surely be back in a while.

Be sure to follow them on Twitter and Telegram in the meantime.

EDIT: working now, forgot to update you. Just expect hickups now, script kiddie Kirtaner and (((Anonymous))) think they do shit with their DDoSing. It's not even working, site just works like >80% of time lol, FAIL!

Idk, I'm not from US, site works for me now completely fine. It only has hickups on evening hours. As I said, Russia got this, no need to panic.

I can still see it on my cable TV.

[–]Blackbrownfreestuff[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yah TV still working but website was down on regular browsers. Got it working on tor.

Edit: its back up

It seems pretty obvious the most basic way to see through the bullshit is to listen to both side's propaganda as a starting point to analysis of reality.

It's almost like the First Amendment was a good idea.

I know several people that grew up behind the Iron Curtain and they all listened to Western Propaganda (in secret) on a regular basis for obvious reasons. All of them grew up listening (in secret) to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc.

    EU is saying they are going to ban RT television broadcasting across the EU, but it doesn't seem to be implemented yet. The recent temporary website failure seems to be a separate issue caused by hackers maybe.
