#ukrainophobia

[wintersmitth]

Happy September 1st, my morning started with these lovely messages:

No, you actually should """antagonise""" russia because it's killing people. But anon, i know you don't consider us human.

Also, coward for not saying all that with your URL attached.

Are Ukrainians racist? Of course. No more than any other predominantly white country, though. Sad truth.

But also, say that with your url attached.

Gee I wonder what kind of takes this person, who posts about how ridiculous it is that they've been called a vatnik, has

First post down on their blog: this fucking propaganda

A young Ukr (age 17), Volodymyr Yermakov, was murdered in Germany on 2/10/2024 in what is being dubbed a Ukrainophobia attack. He and his friend were just wandering the streets before a basketball match to be played on 2/11 when they were attacked with knives on the streets of Dusseldorf.

His friend, Artem Kozachenko, is still in ICU but expected to recover.

Just a heads up that the russian propaganda bot whose blog is entirely about reblogging ai generated images of men in tights keeps making new blogs and coming back. The bot's main activity seems to be looking for posts about Ukraine and posting ruscist rot in replies.

Blog screenshots that are more ridiculous than offensive:

The bot's comment in Russian under a cut that's much worse

Ukronazi is also a zio? Shocker

Ruscist sending hate in anon and using antisemitic slurs? Quelle surprise.

You need to start using your URLs, I'm having trouble telling your lot apart with how deeply unimaginative you all are. Or at least get a new metodichka.

There seems to be a lot of argument between people as to whether we should be allowed to use blanket statements such as “I hate men”, “I hate white people”, and “I hate Christians”. To be clear, in places around the world, these people tend to be the oppressors, heavy emphasis on Christians being oppressors in the Western World. It’s not bad to vent your frustration of these classes, but when does punching up actually just become punching down? I’ll give a few examples (ones that I have actually seen and heard in real life)

“I hate men, so I think gay men should be stoned to death!”

“I hate white people, I don’t care what’s going on in Ukraine, let them die!”

“I hate Christians, so I actually think it’s a good thing that Palestinian Christians are being killed by Israel!”

It’s when these banal phrases are used as obvious bigotry that they become problematic. You can say your blanket statements, but you should not use them to justify atrocities or encourage them.

I’m so tired y’all

I love living in the conservative chamberpot of Canada where the cons here constantly white Ukrainian Canadian history to dismiss racism and make out Ukrainians as what all prairie folk should be, constantly use our ancestors’ hardships as part of their bootstraps narrative, compare everything to the Holodomor and the soviet oppression of Ukrainians, and constantly make themselves out as the party for us, but then when the war actually breaks out and we’re looking to protect our families and homeland of our people, so many of those same conservatives stood for russia and made Ukrainians into the next cog of the Q anon plot
