I think I understand your feelings. I think I am your ally and you are mine.

I am upset daily that I go to work, without just stopping in the street and asking everyone, why aren’t we stopping this? I love being late to work because I stopped to help somebody, and I have been, I will always stop to help if I am aware of the opportunity.

Alas, we need numbers and organization. Focusing on the negatives we see in others actions, in situations like these where they aren’t obviously bad actors or feds, leads to division, which is a popular goal of our oppositions. Organize a dildo march whatever gets people together, gets more people to hear the next message.

Each demonstration I go to, the speeches are all focusing on what we need to do more of. They are helping people sign up for voting or getting in community groups to protect each other.

I replied to another comment with similar stuff but, whether or not this helped anyone we can never truly know.

It did not help the people in the center that day presumably because they were not released. Who knows if they were aware of what was happening outside and how they would have or did feel about it happening.

At the very least, this raised awareness and showed that people are willing to speak out publicly against fascism regardless that the government is threatening any and all who speak or act against them.

I agree a little. Not doing nothing, sadly the people in there still suffer and a bit of awareness is raised.

What these people show most I think is that it’s okay to not be afraid of these assholes.

Some people are too scared to leave their homes, or speak out, or go to a demonstration for fear of being gunned down in the street or injured in some way. Or put on a list for targeting later on.

These people are being brave in the face of fascism even it was just being silly, the retribution they are putting themselves at risk for is very real.

I see nothing wrong with this. People protest the way they want or are able to and looks like this drew attention at least here.

If I search for how Ukrainian women feel about being in the military, I see a lot of positive views. Although I did see some about women facing discrimination in the military but I think that’s par for the course for humanity sadly. I did find some stuff about Ukrainian misinformation campaign to downplay their casualties that western media pushed too. I also found Russia being secretive about their losses as well. These are both par as well. Sorry I realized par might not be as universal as I think, it’s a golf score thing for anyone that may not know, it means business as usual or common.

If I search for how America feels about their government, I see a lot of no kings protests stuff and negative views about it. I see some media stuff supporting the government and I see some regular people too but they all sound like REALLY into the president, hating brown people, or controlling women.

The article linked in this post is definitely saying negative things, but it’s also doesn’t look like the journalist is attempting to set aside any bias. It’s full throttle Ukraine is a fascist regime and the people are committing their own genocide by running into a Russian meat grinder. Propaganda can do a lot but I don’t think I’ve seen it used effectively enough to convince a nation to fight so futilely just to reduce their own population.

From what I understand, Israel might have encouraged either a little or entirely the growth of Hamas in order to justify their genocide of Palestinians. A little on the same line but I think different enough because it’s a government influencing another versus a government influencing its own people.

So how come I can’t find as much stuff from the Ukrainian people about their government being nazis?
