"Imperialists and dictators will always use the lie of 'this ethnic group naturally has a slave mentality' to justify their own horrific actions. If you hear this phrase, dismiss it. There is no such thing as an innate 'slave mentality.'" -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/nato-is-…
"There is also no such thing as a 'natural inclination toward authoritarianism.' Westerners will say this about long-standing dictatorships, that this is the natural order of things, instead of grasping that people living in a dictatorship cannot discuss it and must navigate it."
"When people don't protest, it does not mean that they are in favor of their leader. It means they are avoiding state force. Once the dictator finally leaves, you often see a heated rejection of decades-long personality cults. Look at Kazakhstan now." patreon.com/posts/nato-is-…
"Fear is contagious. Fear can cover the light of any society. But inside, that light remains. You see that in the resistance movements of the darkest chapters of history. Do not ever disregard people's agency." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/nato-is-…
"Humanity is a love story. That love story transcends all borders and governments and political affiliations. Ground yourself in that as you try to understand what's happening. The human angle always comes first." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/nato-is-…
