===== [Haz vs Destiny V (IRL) - JANUARY 17TH, 2022] =====
Soon enough, Infrared entered a new chapter. On February 24th, 2022, Russia began the [[Russo-Ukrainian War|SMO]] into Ukraine. That same night, Haz said "[[Vladimir Putin]] is good", and politics changed dramatically and rapidly in the following weeks and months. Old Twitch politics died, Russophobic hysteria ensued, and Ukraine propaganda began littering online political discourse, which had achieved a new level of emnity. The death of Twitch politics was exemplified by the debate between Haz and Jackson & Dylan Burns and Destiny on the SMO's justification.

Haz and Infrared saw the political paradigm shift after the Russian SMO began in Ukraine, and how [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazis]] who refused to debate were only the precursor to something larger and more sinister latent within American and international politics. The Tech Transparency Project, an NGO funded by [[George Soros]] through his [[Open Society Foundations]], reported Jackson and Haz to (Amazon) Twitch for "spreading disinfomation" about the Ukraine war. Jackson and Haz were banned from Twitch almost immediately, using this report as proof of their duplicity.<ref>https://www.techtransparencyproject.org/articles/amazon-owned-twitch-spreading-russian-misinformation-ukraine</ref><ref>https://x.com/AmirioTheGreat/status/1565017659607220224</ref>

Jackson, meanwhile, began blowing up on YouTube for his daily coverage of the Russian SMO, garnering millions of views and hundreds of thousands of followers. This caused Jackson to get banned from YouTube for "spreading disinformation about the Ukraine war", and he subsequently started streaming on [[Rumble]]. Haz moved to streaming on YouTube full time. Infrared members were expected to step up, "follow the example of Comerade Rev", and begin writing and promoting Infrared through slogans, art, and other content. Orvo created the [[MAGA Communism]] slogan, which trended on Twitter for a month straight.
