Beginning with the second Chechen war, Putin has fashioned a Russian ideology of destruction. I think it helps to distract many Russians from their own crappy lives.
It’s very simple actually. Imperialism, violence, cruelty, impunity, jingoistic machismo is the aesthetic. “We destroyed it because we can. And what are they gonna do about it?”
The amount of such pictures I’ve seen is staggering and I’m not even in the Russian information sphere. Russians sure have p particular taste in terms of aesthetics
That's very unfair. There's a LONG history of art bringing attention to the catastrophe of war as a way of opposing it. Think Picasso's Guernica as a very high end case.
Wow
So a selfie at a destroyed building is now Picasso-level art?
In that case there's a whole gallery of "auschwitz selfies" to go with them too.

Seriously though, go fuck yourself
If you're so angry you want to take on all 144 million Russian citizens, you're gonna grind yourself into a pulp and be of no help to anyone. There are many there who hate this war. Treat them as allies. If you know who is taking these photos and they are pro-war, tell us.
There aren't 144 million russians.
There are signigicanhly less than that as Russia is made up of a shitload of minorities lorded over by a many russians.
And yes, the end goal now is the breaking up of the russian empire. It can be done.
Rus delena est
Good grief, none of these people are anti-war. They are celebrating the destruction their countrymen caused. In Russia, if you are openly anti-war, you literally get thrown in prison.
The ghoulish output of a ghoulish culture. The American right doing the same shit with imprisoned migrants showcases why they want a closer relationship with Russia. They both crave a sort of deliberate exultation in overt evil. Being monsters is the point, it makes them feel powerful.

Russian insta just sees destroyed buildings and the neurons activate, I guess?

Wasted.

Russians. Always. Lie.
"Aesthetic", the "doomer look", "gothic romantism"
No one is taking a selfie to bring attention to something other them themselves
Please say you know what 'selfie' is?

Picasso was Spanish and painted Guernica because he was shocked by the bombing of this town by german.
What you say is that a Nazi taking a picture of himself in a town occupied and destroyed by Nazis is denouncing the Nazis atrocity.
You're either dumb or a tool
really bad
