Whalien51 - Tuna Fishing In The Abyss

some of the westerners out there acting like acknowledging Putin and Russia as a threat is uwu US propaganda and it's actually Enlightened and Woke to decide Ukraine is in no threat and even if it was, the West shouldn't intervene because they certainly just want to return to Motherland... you have no idea what you're talking about. I hate the US but at this point you're contrarian just to be contrarian to your country while also throwing us under the bus classic style. you're no better than American imperialists in that you care about us Slavs the exact amount of 0 unless when you can use us as a prop for your narrative. living in Poland, I'll be clear: Russia invaded us many and many times on. we were only liberated from Russian imperialism, which is far bigger threat for us than American imperialism due to our geopolitical position in 1989, and for Ukrainians it was only 2014. believe it or not, but we want living standards like in the West! we want human rights! Russia literally has laws that forbid being visibly gay (anti "homo propaganda" laws)! Russia is fascism. majority of Slavs actually do want the West to protect us. we're not fools, we know the West isn't doing it out of altruism, we know it's their own imperialism but hey, at least the US is far away and NATO is a good protective measure. the EU is currently the only institution effectively preventing my country's fall into fascism, and yes Polish fascists' hearts are with Putin. you're not helping us whatsoever by supporting or excusing him and Russian imperial ambitions or by acting like we're paranoid and dramatic by considering them a threat and wanting you to acknowledge it when it's a threat for us, not for you. just like MAGA types who are safe in Land of the Free and No Healthcare and don't care what happens in the Middle East, you "leftist" types are safe in America (it's obvious no war will be fought on your land) and you don't care what happens to us. you're literally no different. American is the same

Being genuinely anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, etc. means that you're that way across the board, no matter who is doing it. You don't whitewash the Ottoman Empire or Japanese imperialism just because they weren't "white" in an American sense (and in Japan's case, buy into their own propaganda, as they used the specter of Western imperialism to justify what they did to other East Asian/Pacific countries). You don't make excuses for modern Russia trying to take over Ukraine or other sovereign nations in Eastern Europe. If you truly believe in self-determination then it doesn't matter who is trying to prevent that. This shouldn't be hard, right?

Taking a 2 minute break from Depression to say I adored the fuck out of Stay Alive. It was everything I wanted. Also I hate Jungkook because it’s fucking rude to just beg people to stay alive like that. Whatever you’re doing with your voice in every line of this song is illegal,sir.

Hey Kas, I’m so sorry about everything that’s happening in Ukraine right now. I’m trying to read about it but all I could find so far were articles and posts written by Americans and videos by Americans, and as you said, they just don’t understand the magnitude of the situation. Do you know any reliable sources that explain what’s happening exactly?

Thank you Jackie and of course I can help you with that. Here a list of reliable Ukrainian sources:

Wikipedia article which explains the whole situation from the 2014

Громадське

The Kyiv Independent

Olga Tokariuk

Melaniya Podolyak

Disarmonia

Terrell Jermaine Starr

Xena

These are the sources that I personally follow, I'm currently working on a couple of posts so I will make this list longer soon.
