What's the point? Jay Leno or Jesse Watters could have done the same thing on American streets and produced the same swill. They have Americans pegged as fat, though. I won't argue with that one. And a few of them mentioned weapons, but they did not issue an opinion. I bet they wish they had one, too. I did not watch them all. It's a comedy piece, and all of them together are really long, and it becomes unfunny.

Your comment just stops me cold. This isn't comedy, it's Russian citizens talking about their beliefs and attitudes, and it's really important to know. Yeah, I know Putin is an autocrat and their government is no longer anywhere close to a democracy. But it takes people to fight wars and keep economies going, and even if they think they have no power, they have a lot more than they think. Resistance gives other people permission to resist or at least think differently, that's why all authoritarians, whether Putin or Zuckerberg, do their best to silence dissenting voices and allow only their own beliefs to be given exposure, and the person doing these videos - and others, some of whose efforts I've published here in the past, are fighting against the silencing, at potentially high personal cost.
