In Russian Belgorod, a woman reported a blue blanket on a yellow balcony to the local security department. She wrote that “measures need to be taken”.

Shortly after, she received thanks for her vigilance and a report that the blanket was taken down, accompanied by a photo.

Russian paranoia is blooming.

      Wow, such fast response!

      The roof appears to be wet in the first image. It’s dry in the second. I doubt that they’re that close in time.

      EDIT: Though the timestamps claim that these are close in time. Hmmm.

        Could be a trick or the light. Looks like they were taken by separate cameras. The second image appears to be from a lower angle, so the wet spots could be reflecting the gray sky making it look the same as the wall in the 2nd shot.

        Or everything is fake and were in a Boltzmann brain.

      I just went to the Stasi Museum in Berlin last year. Holy fuck that was frightening.

      In general, the Stasi were fucked up, but their ability to lie/brainwash/indoctrinate and make citizens believe that they had an actual duty to report their neighbors was hella insidious.

      On top of everyone just being afraid that the Stasi was spying on them so they just said whatever they could about Joe and Tanya down the street to get out from under the Stasi eye.

      My…how quickly we forget as a society. The Stasi were actually around in my lifetime, and I’m only mid-30s.

    I do note that no other balcony is yellow. One wonders why that one is. I suspect someone died for this. Poor sod.

    Cannot believe she thinks Ukraine is to blame for the Russian invasion! Well, I guess I can. But it seems so odd and uninformed, even so.

    “A country at war with us”?

    Fuck that. How many millions of Americans thought Afghanistan was at war with us I wonder. Stupid people suck.
