To mark 30 days of the re-invasion here’s my TOP 10 online nonsense I had to deal with in the past 4 weeks:
1️⃣ Azov nazis control Ukraine
2️⃣ Navalny is a hero
3️⃣ It’s not Russians, it’s Putin
4️⃣ US favors Ukrainian refugees
5️⃣ Ukrainians have blond hair and blue eyes

1️⃣ Azov nazis control Ukraine
First: Azov is ≈500 people.
Second: if you’re looking for nazis to worry about I suggest Germany, Italy, France or USA. It’s world’s top economies whose radical right voters combined make up more than the population of whole Ukraine (>42mil.)

2️⃣ Navalny is a hero
Speaking of nazis. Navalny’s undenounced nationalist past is so bad, that if HBO told his story from 2007 and not 2020 you’d be looking forward to the part where he’s poisoned.

3️⃣ It’s not Russians, it’s Putin
Putin’s not an RPG boss - he didn’t just spawn. Russia gives the world new dictators, who wage new wars once a decade.
Kremlin’s whole existence is a testimonial to Russian ignorance, indifference, poltroonery and bloodlust.

4️⃣ US favors Ukrainian refugees
US favors obligations. After Russia was sanctioned a lot of European NATO countries lost trading venues, while accepting most refugees. Taking <1% of them is the least US can do to help their NATO allies with the economic burden.

5️⃣ Ukrainians have blond hair and blue eyes
Dark eyes and hair have over 50% prevalence in Ukraine.
But we’ve learned how to shop dye and lenses just to fool whatabouters.

6️⃣ White-blue-white flag
Sure. But in order:
- denuclearization
- demilitarization
- anyone who wants to leave the imperial federation - can exit
- start teaching true history of Russia at school
Then flag.

7️⃣ Russian liberals, celebrities and journalists are against war
No way. Since when?

8️⃣ Ukraine didn’t try hard enough to join NATO
Ukraine fought two billionaire lobbies at once: domestic and foreign. Russia lobbied in Ukraine against NATO. And lobbied abroad against Ukraine in NATO.
Good luck trying to join a bicycle club under such conditions.

9️⃣ Russia and Ukraine are brotherly nations
Term “brotherly nations” appeared in 18th century as propaganda against Rzeczpospolita and was later re-used by Soviets to motivate occupied Ukraine to fight in WW2.
The actual relationship is more of a serial abuser/victim.

🔟 Putin’s gonna nuke us all
While leveraging nuclear threats since 1979 Kremlin killed ≈3million people in conventional wars. 2 million alone perished in Afghanistan. Which equals to using 10 tactical nukes.
Fear only causes more death. And doesn’t remove the nuclear threat.

Fun fact:
Germany, the country with “least” right-wing voters count still contributed 4.6 million votes to rightwing parties on the recent election (2021)
Compared: Ukraine in the last election (2019) contributed only 300k votes to rightwing parties.

Klass, Rosanne (2018). "Genocide in Afghanistan 1978–1992" 👈
On 2 million Afghani civilians killed in the devastating war of Soviet Union against Afghanistan 😔💔
The world just stood by for 10 years because “Russia can use nukes”

About Navalny:
“Navalny has repeatedly stated in interviews that he doesn't regret his past comments or videos, and suggested that an ability to engage both liberals and nationalists is part of his strength as a politician.”
