throwing my two cents in. a lot of people i see anti-ukraine hate it because its a western puppet state thats just used against russia because its convenient. russia sucks but war also sucks in general and people dying sucks.

i mean igi but it doeent explain them being pro russia nor them being so insistent to "prove" that ukrainians r all ultra racist nazis n that pure progressive russia is liberating them yknow. which, even if they were (idk how to tell ppl this but most ppl in the world r rly racist n generally bigoted towards one group or another), that doesnt matter bc even ultra racist nazis dont deserve occupation, thats not how it works

Since when does people get nervous about actors playing bad people on movies? That's such a weird concern to me 😩 Besides, Serebrennikov is nawt going to make a movie "Pro" Limonov, he's not a nazbol.

Idk what’s going on in people’s heads really. When Meryl Streep played M Thatcher I heard no one saying she was a racist homophobic and classist lol

And yes, Kirill Serebrennikov is basically a dissident in Russia who has always opposed Putin and firmly condemned his invasion of Ukraine. His movie about Tchaikovsky doesn’t do any propaganda, just tells the story of a woman and her homosexual composer husband, but someone still found excuses to call for its boycott. Just say you hate him bc he is Russian

so, hello to blueberry political posting

because i can do whatever the fuck i want, this is my blog and my echo chamber.

so, i have slept 3 hours. because i am a political science student and there was a parliamentary election in my country (slovakia) yesterday

not gonna explain how that all works. if something is unclear, ask or google bc idk what y’all know

the elections were won by this pro russian party. it’s bad because they are 1) xenophobic 2) racist 3) queerphobic 4) pals with orban (if you don’t know who orban is, lucky you and pls google him, he is a hungarian wannabedictator) 5) at best ambiguous towards ukraine and wants to stop sending military aid 6) sceptic towards nato and eu

dont get me wrong i am also critical of nato and eu but the fact is that if we werent in nato it’d be much easier for russia to attack us (which they expressed the desire to do, as we used to be in ussr’s sphere of influence) so us being in nato is one of the ways to keep us safe from that

i am also a queer person in slovakia and a wannabe activist studying at a liberal arts college which isn’t something… likeable to them. my friends are immigrants and minorities (im not doing the “im not homophobic my friends are gay”, im just expressing my worry about our wellbeing)

this will suck. this will be difficult.

18% of votes went to a progressive party though

slovakia isn’t a lost cause

and… uh, yeah this might turn into my political and historical BS echochamber

last year after the first few days of the war in ukraine we were discussing it in class bc it was like being discussed everywhere and there was this dickhead in my class that brought two pictures of putin(a normal one and the one wheres hes riding a horse half naked.yeah) and hang up one of them on the class board for everyone to see then interrupted every lesson to ask the teacher their opinions about the war and make jokes about it to which everyone chuckled and like the none of teachers directly disagreed with him and just asked him his "opinions" about the war-to which he just parroted the same pro russia arguments that were all over the internet to make himself sound like he cared or was actually informed about the war but like he wasnt and you could tell bc he was like the class clown/devils advocate kinda guy who always said racist shit just to turn heads and have a laugh cus hes a fucking moron- and like!!!!!i was the only one who actually said anything and im not saying that to make myself look better but like genuinely i was so confused that everyone was just going along with him bc like the kids in my class werent idiots!!!!in class discussions we had about like human rights and the like most of them presented well thought out opinions and would generally seems very open minded and progressive but like noone was saying anything to this clown who was literally making jokes about war and how putin was going to march through ukraine and how we should join to fight with him and like no one said anything they just laughed!!!it was so sickening and when i started saying to him that he shouldn't joke about war bc russia is killing people and like invading their country he just parroted the same "they have to protect themselves from nato uwu" bs and then the teachers interrupted me and let him say his bullshit and didnt let me speak??!and chastised ME for tearing down putins image from our class board and throwing it in the trash like???????shit made me feel like the only sane person in the room and im truly not the kind of person to think myself above others but like i felt so insane because none of them were saying anything!!??!!!and the teacher was like a substitute and she said she was pro russia bc her husband was russian and then changed the subject immediately and didnt let me get a word in and i wasnt able to confront her about the fact that she let a student joke about killing ppl bc she never showed up to our school after that day.oh and the stupid shit hang up the second photo after i destroyed the first one so i waited it for class to end to take it down and flush into the school toilet and the idiot was whining about his picture being gone.im still not over that like it makes me so angry how hypocritical all of them were like to present themselves as progressive and then proceed not to stand up to the guy and even laugh at his stupid fucking genocide jokes.still makes me furius like a year later i hope that guy dies painfully.amen

twitter really is wrecking my head these days bc i can't believe the shit i'm seeing. i can't believe four years ago people in the us were saying "vote him out" with everyone else globally cheering them on to vote and now they just... don't feel like it anymore?

"oh but kamala-" trump is very *very* openly boasting about wanting to establish a hitler-like dictatorship, to take *all* reproductive rights away, while being israel's preferred candidate, with netanyahu being on a best buds basis with him. it's not that he's hiding the fact that he wants to flatten gaza. and all that's on top of the fact that he's a raging racist, misogynist, very pro gun scumbag that lied his way through his entire presidency. but we're still somehow talking about kamala's crookedness, and how she's a zionist, and how nothing will change unless people vote for a third party now and... good for your morals ig but also get your head out of ass and try for once to answer the question "what does a second term of trump entail?" without deflecting.

bc yes it's very unfair that it's always a race of "vote for dems so that reps won't win". it's fucked up that you're forced to do that. and for all points and purposes a european like me shouldn't be shaking her finger at americans about this but thinking that who's the president doesn't sway world politics and economy is so extremely naive at best and willfully ignorant at worst. it's a domino effect.

does it personally affect or even bother me if ashley from new jersey can't have an abortion? not really. but political superpowers like the us, china, germany etc set the tone on how other countries introduce bills and even attitudes towards issues like this. you don't care that trump doesn't want literally anyone but pasty wasps in his country? fine ig, it really is your country, but europe is steadily growing more fascist by the year, you really want to give alt right leaders an ally like that? a reason to say that "the us is doing that so maybe we should too", because that's very much something that has happened before. not even talking about the american military and navy bases on non us soil. not even talking about the deals regarding russia and ukraine. not even gonna expand on his stance on the middle east, never mind palestine.

you got morals and it's great, love that for you. may you have them for a thousand years. but also maybe consider that between stepping on shit and falling face first into a vat of toxic waste, there's a clear choice to be made and it's not gonna be the "but maybe if we try reaaaally hard we'll get this". yeah, lovely time to be conducting experiments like this. "we'll show them the power we hold", you'll be showing them that when your rights were on the line you stepped back.

anyway, that being said, i hope you're right and that people do step up and vote for a third party. maybe miracles do happen in the land of the free.

istg i hope trump doesn't win, mostly bc i don't want to see people who preached for abstention or third party voting crying on twitter about how evil he is

Just want you to know bc you obvi wouldn’t get it and it’s not like it was in the 1900s but “pure” Slavic and the Western Europeans are similarly very racist/orientalist generally against other of the many ethnicities against the former USSR to the point of comedy

.....are you trying to lecture my Black self about the racist of Eastern men... Girl....have a seat. 💀

And I'm totally aware of the other'ing of Slavic people following European History...I'm living in Europe, the motherland of Whiteness and their messy antics. Homedudes have been butchering each other all throughout the previous century yet feel like lecture the whole world about peace and reconciliation... Look, they couldn't spend a whole century before being back at war!! WILD.

But this 'frontier' is really fluctuating because actual White supremacist from Western countries do actually consider Slavic like their own (many of them a very pro Russia). The only people trying to antagonize and other'ize Russians right now are ironically Liberal/Leftists (medias) because they're team Ukraine🥴

Oh and I heard stories of Ukrainians refugees in France being rude to Black people which once again proved that I was right to NEVER root for them like that lmao (I just want that war to end because bruh, no one deserves to flee from their homeland bc of war, that's it). The audacity of White REFUGEES still having some superiority complex over non-White just shows the extent of the entitlement of Whiteness lmao Truly demonic.

Aaaaand I've been catcalled by some Eastern men too ; they're the kind of weirdos to flirt with you, and then call you a nigger when rejecting their advances…. SMH
