        1. Most of it is incredibly unnatural.

        2. It’s framed in a way that doesn’t show impacts aren’t really that heavy.

        3. It doesn’t show anything you can easily identify anyone with, or the location itself.

        4. What are these guys in boxing gear doing in the back of the gym stood by a mirror? They’re loitering not actually doing anything.

        5. The shoving at the start in the mirror with the sitting guy is really half hearted like nobody knows how to start this act.

        6. Perfectly cuts before a kick that would be to the face and do serious damage because? No reason, they have no reason to cut there other than to hide the fact the kick is not carried through.

        7. Guy with a rifle, no escalation.

        There are a lot of very real videos of people fighting back against the press gangs and this is one of the first ones that irks me and immediately sets off my instincts that something is amiss.

            I think staged. Either it’s a group like those larpers who were pretending to be Ukrainian before, or it’s propaganda intended to undermine the legitimacy of real videos.

            I think the most significant part is how well it keeps you from seeing people’s identities. No naturally filmed video hides everyone’s identity, because the subjects of the video are what you’re intentionally filming. None of the videos that look obviously real have this problem, you clearly see everyone’s faces in the video.

    I love that it cuts just as the initial victim’s about to throw a soccer kick on the fucker

    Did the guy readying his gun not escalate afterward? It seems kind of strange that they would just let it go.

      I would agree with Awoo that it’s staged, they all seem to be acting strangely and for being fighters the boxers seem to be hitting very weakly. I’ve seen a lot of sudden fights and the way they start out here just looks half-assed. It’s not impossible it’s real I suppose but I would put money on it being fake.

    Me and my boys, posted up at the gym, about to square off for a friendly bout of boxing amidst the densely-packed workout equipment in the corner, when suddenly the conscription politsiya wearing fatigues or dress shoes walk in to arrest one of us and we all just start waling on them
