Something weird and disturbing was spotted at this music festival

If you’ve been any music festival, you’ll know that the place is usually packed with all kinds of booths hawking everything from food to band merch to home made tchotchkes. Attendees of the Outline Festival, a Russian event that made its return this year after being put on hold after 2016, had a bunch of booths.

Just inside the entrance was a tent for recruiting people into the Russian army. I wonder how many people they got to sign up to perform genocidal actions in Ukraine?

Moscow region July 2023. Outline festival. I pointed out that u should remember those artists in the lineup. Can we tell now that they are officially support genocide of Ukrainians and act as an entertainment at the points of recruiting (mobilization) of russians for the war? pic.twitter.com/gxi5G6SgJf
