the Buddha used to say this about any baby he saw and people hated it
but actually genuinely why is the ant sad and leaving with a bindle
thats probably it...
Russia kills—today, yesterday, five years ago, twelve, eighteen, thirty-five... Russia kills in Ukraine, in Georgia, in Ichkeria, and in Transnistria. Russia dreams of killing in Europe, Asia, the Americas, and even Antarctica. As long as Russia exists, it will only kill. https://mstdn.party/@aliyn_raven
one time at a funeral i panicked and said the first drink i could think of and the bartender made me the pina colada With all the fixings all the trims all the bells and whistles i didnt even ask imagine youre at a funeral and the person besides you is drinking a pina colada with whip cream as tall as the drink with a cherry and an umbrella, thats what happened to me
No this is actually a fucking insane to thing to say to victims of centuries of colonization, genocide, oppression, and forcible deportation who say "hey maybe consider not glorifying our oppressor through media you create, especially since a lot of things you consider to be cultural of that nation are actually stolen from the peoples they colonized" to then respond with "well I, a progressive westerner, really enjoy media about your oppressor and think you're hysterical at best and racist at worst for trying to take that away from me". Like how is that a normal thing i have to experience every day. Unreal.
"No guys this character is a russian soldier bc the story needs that!! It has nothing to do with modern ruzzia he's just a russian vampire the story just calls for it!!" is the same logic as "noo guys this character has her tits out all the time because her superpower is shooting milk out of her nipples!! It is not needless sexualization, her superpowers call for it!!!" but you put your fingers in your ears and start going lalalalala can't hear you every time the topic is brought up
across the great divide
Wanna know the actual proof that it's ALL russians, not just putin?
Watch the supposed liberal youth and opposition. They always say "I hate this war/war is bad" but they will NEVER say "I hate that my country started this war". Even when they don't live in russia, so would face no consequences.
I've seen Israelis say that. I've seen people from pretty much every Western country say that. Americans most of all. I've never seen a single russian name and shame their own country, their own people. Such opposition doesn't exist. Such liberalism there doesn't exist.
The silence of accountability and washing off the true scale of russian crimes is deafening.
They are always the victims, never the aggressor. Bad things happen out of nowhere, not out of deep rooted imperialism.
Media literacy hot take and I’m not sure some of you are ready for it:
if a fictional character is russian and lives during Russia’s military aggression against another country, and the work never addresses their thoughts or position on that war in any way, it automatically reinforces an already existing space where russians are not expected to reflect on the criminal actions of their state or their fellow citizens.
At the same time, it reassures russians — through foreign media — that the world also doesn’t see this as their problem.
If you believe that giving a fictional character a stance on their country’s military invasion "isn’t important", or that “there’s no reason to bring it up” because the story is just about their everyday life, then it’s hard to expect anything more responsible from real people.
“This is just a story about the struggles of an ordinary german dude during World War II — without touching on war or nazism, because he’s just a civilian and his personal life is already difficult” — i hope the analogy speaks for itself.
So please, don’t forget: while fictional films are being made about russians, documentaries are being made about the victims of their country.
i would have loved to been an idealized hypothetical for you. if only i had been aborted...
