My wife had mentioned that support for the Ukraine was stronger
among young people than it was among older people. Considering the way
things used to be I'm surprised there aren't more older people who are automatically, reflexively opposed to authoritarian fascist dictators. I
still agree with Gil Scott-Heron. "The Revolution will not be
Televised." But, it might be brought to us on social media.
"Gen Z is learning about Russia's invasion of Ukraine on TikTok"
"Social media feeds and TikTok's For You page are being inundated with
posts and videos about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, from first-hand
accounts from Ukrainian creators to clips posted by traditional news
outlets. When it comes to providing the necessary information for Gen Z
and young millennial audiences who might not know the historical context
of the conflict, however, it is their peers who are doing the work of
providing informative news in a relatable, digestible way.
A.B. Burns-Tucker, a single mom, law student and paralegal, started
posting information about Russia's invasion of Ukraine on her TikTok on
Feb. 7. In her very first video on the topic, she garnered more than 15
million views."

Maybe Vlad is losing the social media war too.
