Микола Тищенко довбойоб і ігнорант. Те що він є народним депутатом, має якусь функцію - непорозуміння, яке мають усунути. Але в цій історії мені особисто хотілось б підняти контекст, про який в нашому інформаційному полі мало згадують, а саме Таїланд
#whatshappeninginthailand Art by @BlackArt6
Зараз Таїланд - одна з найважливіших тем для активістів #MilkTeaAlliance. Причина - протести, які тривають там з 2020, коли люд вийшли на вулиці, спочатку проти уряду Праюта Чан-Оча, а потім і взагалі з вимогами реформування тайської монархії. Причини наступні: ImageImage
Розширення королівської влади, спад демократичності і економіки після перевороту 2014, розпуск продемократичної партії, зникнення і загибель політичних активістів, дискримінація ЛГБТК, корупція, загальна атмосфера авторитаризму в країні. На протестному арті власне їх прем'єр. Art by @Psyppl

Remember when RADICAL FEMINIST Elon Musk won plaudits for "activating Starlink" to help Iranian protestors? His superfans swooned & the White House entered into talks with him about setting up SpaceX's satellite internet service in Iran to FIGHT THE POWER! About that...
This thread quotes from recent articles in @PrivateEyeNews & @WIRED.

The Iranian Govt imposed widespread internet blackouts to try to contain the unrest that followed the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, detained for not wearing a hijab properly.

theguardian.com/world/2022/sep…
In response, billionaire SpaceX founder & serial attention-hogger Elon Musk asked the US government for exemptions from Iran export controls for his Starlink satellite internet service.

"Activating Starlink,” he tweeted, quickly gaining 187,000+ likes.

小企鵝看了有靈感,
簡單說說瞭解香港抗爭的心得

ps1. 思考方向是"在未來台灣發生戰亂時,如何更快更好的應變"。如果是要吵誰比較早誰比較厲害,那我會覺得那一定是真愛 🫶

ps2. 覺得台灣沒有機會戰亂的人未免太過樂觀,無視中共毁壞台灣的決心(透過代理人或自殺戰爭或透過民主使親共者全面掌權)
心得
1. 去中心化、不等不靠自主行動的快速行動小隊。將來抗擊本土紅色黑道作亂或情搜干擾登台解放軍的軍事行動時很有幫助。

2. 國際文宣的經驗。快速募資且在世界各報刊登。設計能力大展,還有組織能力及說帖,要能應對中共施壓干預報社的情況。

3. 黑警實時地圖。有戰略價值,背後的工作流程可學習
4. 抗爭現場的組織與指揮共識與方式

5. 在事件發生當下如何使民眾瞭解正確的資訊、快速對抗政府的宣傳和駁斥網路親共者的迷惑人的說法。

6. 海外動員爭取政治家們的支持

7. be water:包括減少自身損耗,增加敵人困難

8. 不分族群的建立抗爭的連結力量

9. 爭議處理、演化進步

“Their stories reflect the seismic changes sweeping Asia, where voices for democracy have been suppressed by corruption, growing inequality and the widening influence of the so-called China model and its blend of repression and prosperity.” latimes.com/world-nation/s…
I remind my son how lucky he is to be American with the freedom to protest and vote.
“They’ve coalesced online through the Milk Tea Alliance, a grass-roots social media campaign that brings together a shared love for the pan-Asian beverage and an enmity for autocratic regimes.”

The divide and conquer strategy along ethnic lines is used as a common strategy among authoritarian rulers across Asia in China, Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore, who use racial supremacy to suppress others and stay in power.

"The Tatmadaw knows well about these issues and uses them to divide and control us. They promise to grant the older generation’s demands and give them their own territory."
"Since the coup, people have become more divided. Some view the coup as an opportunity, if they side with the military.

Now, many Lisu are uncertain about their stance. Some might support the KIA because it is fighting against the military and they want the coup to fail."

十幾年前,馬英九剛當選時,我的確覺得香港人都大中華膠,不瞭解追求獨立的臺灣人怎麼想。

然後PTT看到了鄭立,當時感覺有些香港人的想法,好像不全是大中華膠。

接著看到香港百科大典,發現年輕人也有不喜歡中國的。但那時的高登巴打,還是覺得不讓博愛座很過分、嘲笑汶川更是混帳。
我記憶中,對香港人形象大扭轉的關鍵,是那個蝗蟲佔據山海的廣告--

「香港人,忍夠了」

原來他們也那麼討厭中國。

也許他們會知道我們在怕什麼。
忘記是那廣告之前還是之後,孔慶東也發表了暴言--

「香港人給英國當走狗當慣了,所以到現在都是狗,而不是人。」

又看到香港人的反應,覺得太不值了,就這麼被孔子的徒孫侮辱,那誰想當大中華。

🧵Today we are expanding our #ThereIsHelp notification service for people in need of legal advice relating to Freedom of Expression in 🇹🇭, as we learnt many of them are not fully aware of their legal rights or how to seek help from existing resources:
According to @TLHR2014, more than 635 people (incl. 40 under 18 years old) have been charged for political involvement and expression since the Thai youth rallies on in 2020; some were without legal representation at the time of arrest.
We strongly believe that people are entitled to freely express their political opinions. Our service relies on a free and #OpenInternet which in turn enables greater participation in civic events, such as the #MilkTeaAlliance, peaceful demonstrations and elections.

More than 30,000 Karen refugees in KNU territory.
Mudaw (Hpapun) District The KNU-Karen National Union (KNU) has released a statement saying that a villager was killed when artillery shells were fired at the village yesterday (April 8) by military forces from the coup d'etat.
At around 18:35 pm on April 8, the military council troops from the Paw Khae Kho base camp entered the village of Yemu Plaw with three shells. A 60-year-old Saw Ki Bu was shot dead in May Phwe Htar Village, Ye Mu Palaw Tract, Luthaw Township,
after four shots were fired into four villages and five into Saw Mu Palaw Village.
Residents in Naypyidaw said they feared more bombings as two military jets flew by the military junta twice in Depuno village near the KNU's 5th Brigade headquarters yesterday.

🧵Against my better judgment & the advice of mental health professionals, I am going to try to live-tweet this UNSC Arria on #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar.
First, tho, some throat-clearing. I find this whole thing infuriating because @UKUN_NewYork could have organized an Arria on 2/2.
Arria meetings are the lowest common denominator & least formal options available to the Security Council & pretty much anyone can convene one any time. It is a travesty that it has taken 65 days to hold one & that there has still been no formal agenda item added to the Council.
As the 'penholder' on Burma, and the rotating president of the Council in February, @UKUN_NewYork bears much responsibility for this failure of diplomacy & failure of leadership. Two months, and 600 lives lost, because of weak leadership on the part of the so-called like-minded

Heng Swee Keat no longer in the running to be Singapore’s next prime minister. He says the result his team got in East Coast GRC in the last general election is not the reason why he chose to step aside.

Sure thing, buddy channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore…
What’s not mentioned here is that LHL *could* have stuck to the schedule of stepping down in 2022; some have argued that his pledge to remain (made in the middle of the GE2020 campaign) was a response to lacklustre public enthusiasm for Heng and the 4G.
After all, LHL had already allowed the 4G to oversee the #Covid19 situation, which is why we kept seeing Lawrence Wong at those briefings. If there was confidence in the 4G, LHL could have stepped down at 70 as promised. straitstimes.com/politics/4g-le…

📣CALLING OUT ON ALL #ClimateChange activists and to those who care about the existence of #Humanity

Is the climate clock still ticking for the existence of humankind?

Please spare us about 5 mins to read this thread. Thank you guys 🙏🏼
#SaveMyanmar #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Actually
The clock has gone off in #Myanmar for many decades already.

How ❓
Myanmar has been under military dictatorship for six decades. Even though the country is rich in forests and natural resources, the citizens are the poorest in the world...
So who are the rich people?
They are the ones those abuse the use of weapons and take over the resources of Myanmar. They are the #Myanmar military.

This guy is MinAungHlaing, the general of Tatmadaw (Myanmar military). He staged a coup back in february 1st...

Silence - The loudest scream

On March 24 - on the roads of Myanmar, there will be no cars, no humans and all stores will be closed.
We will all stay inside our homes. We will not go out. Image
Why?

- to recognize all the fallen heroes by giving a moment of silence
- to replenish our energy
- proving #Myanmar military SAC group wrong, in response to them saying the country is returning to 'normal' state.
