Once I stopped wheezing, I went looking for what inspired this tweet. Apparently anyone consistently ripping into Biden and telling anyone why he's trash is "voter suppression". Liberals have all lost their goddamn minds.
truly not trying to detract from the very russian art of the generational trauma wolves, and i know the colors are from the ussr + russia flags, but it also spoke to me as a hispanic person. especially w respect to misogyny and how machismo tears families apart, and how trauma that comes from outside the family units gets repeated/expressed within the family unit. idk.
absolutely it applies to more than just russians, im glad it speaks to other ppl :)
Here is a Ukrainian woman, Olha Kharlan, an incredible woman and multiple fencing champion, and her prototype Barbie doll. Now she is under pressure and bouts of aggression from the russians for not shaking hands with the russian athlete she defeated, for which she was disqualified.
russians caused genocide - they are allowed to compete
Ukrainian woman whose home was destroyed defeats russian 15:7 - she is disqualified because she did not shake hands with a man who supports the destruction of her people
The State is scary but you gotta remember they are afraid of us more. Even with theis tanks and cement walls. They don't know what we really are. And they know nothing outside those walls. And everything inside iron fences is really fragile. We're many and we're going to last.
I was making so many of these that the reblogging thread idea wasn't working too well, so we will just have them separated by longer posts with more memes to a post.
Let's start with HeiHua. I love them so much. These are all from Reunion 2 - Mystery of the Abyss.
Ruseng au but Ivan's an EMT and Arthur keeps """"accidentally"""" falling on items and at some point Ivan flirts with him jokingly saying "If you need someone to do that to you, you know who to call" but he doesn't give Arthur his number and it's Arthur horny out of his damn mind getting into Situations so he can find that hot, massive EMT guy and get his number
I feel like you don’t actually need to know all the intricacies of the history and relationship between Ukraine and Russia to assess who is right and who is wrong when it comes to the current war (I certainly don’t). A basic set of principles that should apply to every country:
invading another country is evil
raping/torturing/executing people (including children!!!) is evil
deporting children to your own country is evil
considering other cultures inferior and trying to erase them is evil
threatening a country (and its entire continent) with nuclear attacks is evil
Russia is doing exactly that. And it shouldn’t matter whether you like Tchaikovsky and Russian ballet, have Russian friends or never even heard of Ukraine before the war, your morals should not depend on how much you know about a country or identify with its people.
You cannot claim to oppose imperialism and ignore Central Asians and Eastern Europeans when they talk about their experinces with Russian imperialism. You cannot claim to support indigenous people but ignore the suffering of the indigenous people of Russia. You cannot claim to support refugees and victims of occupation and/or civil war and ignore Syrians, Georgians, Sudanese, Malians and more. And let’s be real, it cannot be just anti-Russian propaganda if so many people keep complaining at the same time, not just now but for decades and even centuries!
Btw, here are things that cannot always be described as “good” but are absolutely justified as a matter of self defense:
using weapons to defend your people against your invaders (and yes, that often includes the killing of soldiers)
feeling frustration and hatred towards your invaders and imagining a world where they get a reckoning
complaining about your invaders’ war crimes
demanding justice (not bloody revenge)
Oh no, Ukrainians are so mean ;( How dare they not want to be friends with those that hurt them. Unbelievable. And seeking prosperity and security through EU and NATO membership is russophobic too. [Sarcasm obviously]
Ukraine must win and Russia must lose, it’s that simple.
that one tnumblr post with poll going like "do you have more of online friends or more of irl friends" made me realise that I made a lot of irl friends while living in Moscow but now most of them are online friends?... Immigration really does it to you huh....
