#SoundOfPeace A docile open air concert to spread awareness, I guess?

For those who’re unaware that 700-900km from Berlin there’s shelling happening?

I think Germany knows what peace sounds like.

What Germany could use is to understand what war sounds like.

They forgot.
Germany is the only country today who’s withholding c-300 weapons (“until USA swaps them for something better”) and struggling to disconnect from Sberbank and is STILL on full Russian gas life support.

Thousands of people will die until anything that 🇩🇪 does will impact Russian warmachine a negative way

So Y NOT dance and feel good about yourself 300 meters from the embassy of a country that detained 1k people into camps just yesterday

It’s “better than nothing” right?
I hate the “anything is better than nothing” thing

Any shrink will tell you that reinforcement of half-measures leads to derail of efforts

Nobody in business 👍 a worker who doesn’t do their job

The job’s not to spread news but to help Ukraine win this war

This job’s not done

Uneasy feeling about Germany today. The majority of German population & the main decision-makers have their perception of the world fogged. Their mentality hosts a superficial concept of “goodness” and an alarming lack of sensitivity.

Little story time 🧵👇
I’m friends with a refugee couple in Bremen. One day the lady told me her husband came home from an event and started crying.

She asked him what’s wrong and he said that their refugee center organized an excursion for them. To “Bauhaus”

A construction & gardening hypermarket. ImageImage
Imagine, you lost your home, arrive to a foreign land, with no right to work and you’re taken to a construction supermarket for entertainment.

He said that it was the worst he’d felt in life.

“They showed us all the things we can’t buy for houses that we don’t have.”

@Twitter 👏

Malfunctioning the algorithm is, more data training it needs. (C)

My previous tweet was not hate speech. It’s my right to express pain and existential fear and warn off people who wish me death.

But there’s a bigger absurdity to denote:
Russia is abusing human rights in every way imaginable.

Russians, who live abroad and enjoy the western values system demand their rights — the very rights Putin wants to destroy — to do or say whatever they want be defended.

Fascinating, evil paradox.
While supporting a tyrant hellbent on genocide, Russians in western countries use their civil rights to silence criticism to their criminal position.

Protection against hate speech is a golden ticket to gaslighting and avoiding the much needed pushback and accountability.

Russians crashing the party 8 years later with their “no war” after 14k Ukrainians already died.

Pls get rid of those hideous Novgorod flags 🙏 unless they signify that Russia will disband into small regions and this flag will be the banner of demilitarized Moskovia.
Any other country is welcome because it’s flags of our partners & helpers.

Russia - under any flag - is NOT an ally.

If individual Russians want to help - they can do it by standing with Ukrainians without parading their national pride along with it.
Do you see anything saying “WHITE people are with you”?

It’s about white people protesting and demanding rights for their fellow citizens.

It’s WRONG to come up with banners to make yourself distinguishable, to make it about yourself and pull attention from the problem.

I see many people arguing that Russians have been forced to attend today’s pro-Putin/pro-war rally.

I can’t argue against it because I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️

What I will argue, is that none of the previous rallies and supremacists celebrations were forced.

And THAT is a problem

👇 2014, the signs say “Putin we’re with you” and “Kyiv2015, anniversary of annexation of Crimea2019, Day of Russia; A highly dubious military theme was use2018
The anxiety about sanction and disappointment about losing this war are being mistaken for moral wake up calls and antiwar moods.

If you think this, you are misinterpreting and projecting your own wishful thinking on Russian people, artist, politicians, activists and media 🔽
For the past 15 years, ever since the Munich SC 2007, Putin has been engaging in international terrorism, starting wars, and annexing territories.

All this time - there was no protests against war. Only against establishment. And for Navalny. Who’s a prominent nationalist.

A recent poll says: Russians support Putin.

I’m stats-savvy enough to understand that stats can be used to prove that a dead salmon🐟 is alive. (Google it, it’s funny)

But this 🧵 is about people’s reaction & psychological defenses that make our communication difficult.
I don’t like psychoanalysis because of its unfalsifiability but it’s hard to deny the existence of denial.

A psychiatrist George Vaillant classified defence mechanisms into four levels.

✔️ pathological defences
✔️ immature defences
✔️ neurotic defences
✔️ mature defences
I won’t go into detail about which level contains which defensive reaction - you can look them up on wiki.

I want to denote something: for one - you can distinguish Russian people in the comments on this poll by their defense mechanisms being anything but *mature*.

Quip “shocking news” and provide 0% context

Sadly, Russia’s strongest & most disastrous lobby sits in… Ukraine. That’s why people fight it since the 1st revolution on granite.

But let’s talk about moot claims with insufficient information?

Military trade 101 for dummies 🧵👇
The key points to arms trade in Ukraine sum up to:

🔹 pro-Russian establishment; collaborators, who trade weapons for profit = scum
🔹 strategic trade, that allows for purchases of urgently needed equipment

1st is clear.

2nd is more difficult to accept for your average person.
To explain it in borderline simple terms:

Imagine you have apples but need some oranges very badly.

And someone has oranges but won’t exchange them for your apples.

You sell the apples elsewhere for money and buy the oranges.

Sometimes this “elsewhere” is your enemy.
