#re-education camps

[odinsblog]

Dozens of Ukrainian children from a Russian-occupied city in Ukraine were taken to Belarus and sent to “emergency survival training” with the Belarusian military, according to local media.

The Belarus 4 Mogilev state television channel reported on Wednesday that 35 children from the city of Antratsyt in eastern Ukraine, which Russia has occupied since 2014, were sent to the eastern Belarusian city of Mogilev, where they were taught “how to behave in extreme situations” in exercises with the Belarusian military.

In the report, the children — some of whom are wearing tracksuits with Russian flags printed on their sleeves — are shown holding on to each other and covering their faces during a fire drill.

Thousands of Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia and Belarus from Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. In July 2023, Russian Children’s Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova put the figure of Ukrainian children “received” by Russia at 700,000, claiming most were accompanied by their parents or other relatives.

A study by Yale University found that between September 2022 and May 2023, over 2,400 Ukrainian children aged 6 to 17 were deported to Belarus from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine, which are occupied by Russian forces.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko met with a group of deported Ukrainian kids last month, promising to “embrace these children, bring them to our home, keep them warm and make their childhood happier.”

In March 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lvova-Belova, accusing them of overseeing the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children.

Well-to-do White Women | Cult Leaders of Creative Victimhood ane Nonsense Laundering

No one does creative victimhood like sheltered, spoiled, well-to-do, parents paid for, privately educated white women who grew up in the gated commutinies and coveted suburbs in coastal and/or metropolitan enclaves where the disparity between their haves and the have nots of the low-income communities of the inner city are most pronounced.

They're often among the loudest voices and least constructive of self-described allies in spite of typically being the least affiliated with the groups they speak on behalf of and thus the least qualified individuals to be lecturing anyone on privilege.

They only group well-to-do white women have any leg to stand on to scream from towards, if anyone, would be their wealthy white male peers. But they're really sneaky, and they've excelled in the way they have devised strategies to avoid their prilvedge by pointing elsewhere, typically at men often from far worse circumstances.

In the denial of their own prilvedge, securing their positions, and ensuring their own asses remain unscathed - this is the vacuum from where their creative victimhood emerges. They invent or adopt existing strategies of plights and grievances with proven track records in successfully disguising or deflecting their prilvedge.

Within that vacuum is a non-sense laundering feedback loop of horrible ideas that develop between the worst among them on twitter and those within the faculties in the fact free factory sections of major universities.

Here Blaire White reacts to a series of events involving Andrew Tate, Jeffree Star, woke TikTok users, and Jordan Peterson. Andrew Tate was arrested, leading Blaire to express their thoughts on the situation. In addition, Jeffree Star has claimed that he "escaped the Illuminati", which has caught Blaire's attention. Woke TikTok users have also been causing a stir by claiming that dating preferences are transphobic, which has prompted Blaire to share their thoughts on the matter. Finally, Jordan Peterson has been sentenced to a re-education camp.

#anyway I thought silence of the girls was phenomenal#and I wish people would stop calling it the bad art to song of achilles’s good art#THE TWO BOOKS ARE DOING DIFFERENT THINGS#and silence of the girls says some pretty important shit

Wait wait sorry post derailed people are doing that? People are putting Madeline Miller against Pat "Regeneration Trilogy" Barker and saying Barker is the worse of the two? As ART?

I actually enjoy Miller's writing on both a prose level and a makes-me-feel-emotions-about-fictional-people-to-pass-the-time level (I see various criticisms and they make sense to me, but don't fundamentally affect my enjoyment) but she just isn't Barker. I don't think it's literary snobbishness to say Barker is doing and accomplishing more advanced and more relevant things than Miller, in part because she is trying to, in part because she has decades more experience and research under her belt.

I'm not sure if Miller will catch up in time or, again, if she truly wants to. Miller does lyrical romantic tragedy wonderfully, Circe has some baby fangs coming in as feminist retelling (if OP of this post wants to turn me into a pig for being too generous here, fair), but ultimately she is constrained in a way Barker isn't by a drive to write sympathetic good guys and detestable bad ones (additionally, to reward virtue and punish wickedness). That drive will always limit your ability to write about history or oppression and violence.

i also think 'agency' gets totally misused when people talk about the feminist retelling tm. because you can actually have a feminist story in which the lead women do not have a lot of agency because it has been removed from them. like if someone was for example writing about a woman in ancient greece or the enslavement of the women of troy. it is in fact feminist to talk about historical (sexual) violence and oppression against women

so… they won’t accept a two state solution…. i can’t IMAGINE they’d accept integrating palestinians and palestinian culture into israel…… which means the only possible goals are killing every palestinian or permanently displacing them to other countries by force….. BOTH of which are considered forms of genocide.
