1) Americans who say "Russia is my enemy". An exercise in logic.
- what is the Russia you hate? Define in two words
- what do you reply to Latin Americans and Asians who claim that the "USA is my enemy because it installed dictatorships here"
- who is the USA?
- are you the USA?

2) In some time, the anti-fascist and pro-democracy Russian people, who presently die when they demonstrate, may want your support. Are you ready to tweet "all support to the Russian people"?

3) I was born in Brazil. I fought a RW dictatorship there. The fascist dictatorship was my enemy and I was prepared to die fighting it before adulthood. Now the country is ruled by a fascist mob again:
- Bolsonaro's fascist mob is my enemy
- the Brazilian people deserve my suport

4) ... just like the American people fighting fascism, the Bolivian people that will take their country back from white evangelicals supported by the USA government, the Russian people who try again and again to fight against oppression, the Iranian, Iraqui (everybody)...

5) ... people fighting against oppression. Your nation-country is a recent invention. An abstraction used to indoctrinate you to see yourselves separated from the rest of the world.

6) There are just two kinds of people: those in favor of oppression and barbarianism and those fighting against it. The FASCISTS/BARBARIANS and us, the ANTIFASCISTS.
