“For people, for place” actually means something. In large part, the Western world is drowning in a sea of sentiments that equate to little more than abstractions. These abstractions widen more and more as the Western world inches closer and closer to the globalist utopia and pushes us further away from the love of the soil right under our feet or the people we can reach out and touch. But love is never abstract, as Wendell Berry once reminded us. Humanity requires the ties that bind - our people, our place. We don’t love our own soil or people because of some abstract idea, we love them because it’s a part of us. The roots run deep. The people that sacrificed and put their faces in this mud so we could walk across their back to a better future breathed the same air and carried the same blood in their veins. And we honor them. We won’t squander our heritage and we sure as hell won’t sit idly by while it gets stolen from us and our children.

In addition, Telegram now supports the use of third-party streaming tools like OBS Studio and XSplit to broadcast live video, allowing users to add overlays and multi-screen layouts for a more professional look. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed.
