I'm sorry for these Russian people who had to stand their national leader spreading lies for aeons, enrich himself over their backs and who has now declared war on Ukraine in their nation's name. They too are going to be hurt by this war: by the sanctions, by the international political and economical backlash, by this horrible despot and his troops. They are very brave for showing their opposition to this invasion.
God, I hope Putin will get his comeuppance.
There are Russian citizens who understand that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is wrong, and they are showing up & showing out.

For all the tankies and misguided “leftists” who somehow think that backing Putin is the way to show how “pure” their “communism” is—THIS is how you do it. THIS is how you rise up. These Russian protesters aren’t talking shit, while hiding behind a keyboard, in the safety of a country that’s safely not being invaded. These Russian citizens are openly protesting Putin’s war and their own government. They are putting it all on the line and literally risking everything to protest Putin’s imperialism. They are showing solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Bravo. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Bravo. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦
There is a lot I could say about what is happening, but my vocabulary lets me down. I have virtually no not-swearing words to express what I feel. Neither swear words, actually. It's more like a non-stopping wordless scream in my head.
I thought in my current condition there is scarcely anything that could surprise me or terrify me. Thought this world could not disappoint me even more. I was wrong.
What is happening now is horrible. It is abominable, it is wrong, it is vile and it is outrageous. It should not be. I detest every word that I have to hear from TV. I detest hearing how the same people who were laughing at the very idea of invasion, who were calling it a paranoia just a couple of days ago, now call the same invasion a "peace operation". I detest understanding that people who dared to call Russia "a country that defeated fascism" openly support that as if there are no contradictions here. I detest understanding that for someone other's interests and ambitions will suffer people who have nothing to do with that, hundreds, thousands, millions of people. I detest understanding that it is the actions of my country, that it is the state I live in.
And it is shameful and painful that all I can do is to write a post on the Internet and sign a couple of petitions. That none of my actions can change the situation. But I also cannot remain silent. At least because I will lose any remains of my self-respect if I don't voice my disdain for such actions. I despise them with all my heart, with all that remains of my indifference to the world.
We are all being deceived and I do not want to believe in these lies. I do not want to keep silent and to pretend that I believe them.
Everyone who is affected by this nightmare — hold on. One day it will be over. One day time will wash your pain and your fear away, and you will have a normal life — at least I want to believe in this. Too bad no time could wash that shame away from the history of my country. Not in my eyes for sure.

Я могла бы много что сказать о происходящем, но мой словарный запас меня подводит. У меня практически нет цензурных слов, чтобы выразить свое отношение. Да и нецензурных тоже — скорее, в голове звучит непрекращающийся бессловный крик.
Я думала, что в моем текущем состоянии меня вряд ли что-то удивит или напугает. Думала, что этот мир не может разочаровать меня еще больше. Я ошибалась.
То, что происходит сейчас, — это ужасно. Это отвратительно, это неправильно, это подло и это дико. Так не должно быть. Мне противно каждое слово из тех, что доносятся до меня из телевизора. Мне противно слышать, как люди, каких-то пару дней назад высмеивавшие и называвшие паранойей слова о вторжении, теперь называют это самое вторжение «миротворческой операцией». Мне противно осознавать, что люди, называющие Россию «страной, победившей фашизм», открыто поддерживают подобное, как будто и нет никакого противоречия. Мне противно осознавать, что страдать из-за чужих интересов и амбиций будут непричастные к этому люди, сотни, тысячи, миллионы людей. Мне противно осознавать, что это — действия моей страны, что это государство, в котором я живу.
И мне мерзко и больно от того, что все, что я могу — написать пост в Интернете и подписать пару петиций. Что никакие мои усилия не изменят ситуацию. Но и молчать я не могу. Хотя бы потому, что потеряю остатки самоуважения, если не выскажу свое презрение к подобным действиям. А я их презираю — всем сердцем, всем, что еще осталось от моего неравнодушия к окружающему.
Нас всех обманывают, и я не хочу верить этой лжи. Не хочу молчать и делать вид, что верю ей.
Все, кого затронул этот ужас, — держитесь. Когда-нибудь это закончится. Когда-нибудь время смоет ваши боль и страх, и у вас будет нормальная жизнь — по крайней мере, хочется в это верить. Жаль, что никакое время не смоет это пятно позора с истории моей страны. Не в моих глазах уж точно.
Make Love, Not War - Anti War Poster, 1967 ✌🏼☮️🕊🌸🌻
No More No more bombs, No more tanks, No more armies Arrayed in ranks. No more air raids, No more mines, No dead bodies, In long sad lines. No more ruined cities, No fatherless child, No frail widow, Weeping wild. When I have power, There'll be no war, But peace on Earth For evermore - - Just peace on Earth For evermore.
John Kitching
In the name of progress, you signed your name.
In silence, you wrote it with their blood.
In fear, you turn your head so much, it has twisted into headlessness.
Will you wait for the sinew to snap?
They will wear your head to the next met gala.
Your childrens souls will tear you apart in condemnation, and you will let them, watching the blood drip from their haunted faces.
You will not know hell, unless it is of your own making.
Your eyelids will be peeled from your flesh, for all that you closed your eyes to keep from seeing.
You will watch your actions on loop, screaming, out of any binding with time, through a throat decayed from poisons spoken and ashes of war, permissively consumed. From lungs drowned with the shit of war pigs.
You will do this, you now choose this.
You will remember only this, nothing more.

GOTARD - Era

The message of "Era" is the need for change in global society, a break with everyone, which makes it difficult for man to learn to live in harmony with his own species and the world around him. "Era" comes from the last album 'Dharma'. The song was also inspired by the work of Balladyna De Tempete. Originally, the clip were supposed to consist of real shots of the war from Gaza and Ukraine, but in the end we decided that at a time when we are many with so much drastic information every day, only a symbolic, simple animation is enough; a visual that creates many languages that speak to what inspired the piece; It is the desire to live in a world where humanity can live in harmony with itself and the world around it.
