Russians created the cult of their own pain and suffering and want everyone to worship it.
It’s glamorous. Marketable. “Ovsyannikova” with an edge. It’s more shareable than #Olenivka or #Izium. Makes a good view and a catchy headline. For pinterest-vaporwave-bubbletea-aesthetics appreciators - this is *the* fight.
Not the murdered heroes or excavations of mass graves.

So, “other Ukrainians” in Germany who’re not from the frontline regions are “social tourists”? Interesting.
All regions in Ukraine are being shelled with different intensity on different days. And you’ll never guess who sells Russia the tools to maintain their MRLS… 🙂
Or who payed Russia, so that they could buy N.Korean missiles or Iranian drones that’s been terrorizing #Odesa for the past days.
If the German government sees Ukrainian refugees as a problem - it’s super-easy to solve. Instead of making up new terms - send weapons, so that all the refugees and “social tourists” can return home.

Totally comparable. Totally not simplifying anything to make an erroneous parallel. And, as always - totally humane, too, because it’s fine to leave Ukrainians to deal with Russia’s genocidal mass-murder while the only people who can stop it must be protected from doing so.
Good example of reductionism.
If we define who the refugees are and why they actually can’t fix their home after many bloody attempts and who Russians fleeing the draft are and why they’re doing it on the 9th year of war - the nifty parallel suddenly disappears.
A long time ago, my debates club coach (a leftist from Nepal and a wonderful person) taught me “If you can’t make your argument without resorting to quoting scientific results, social polls, using metaphors or drawing parallels - you can’t make a strong argument.”

“Disgusting, inhumane Baltics closing borders to Russians… only I get to decide based on my moral views who lives or dies” 🙂
The problem with that space at this point is that its people are religious believers in their theoretical reality.
You can throw ℹ️ about #RussianColonialism or reforms in Azov at them and they’ll preach their exclusive humanism based on the same propaganda they’re chiding. 🤷‍♀️
It’s funny when you make fun of nazis @VaushV It’s not so funny when you call someone nazi based on outdated ⌛️ or miscontextualized 📝 media snippets. It’s called slander. And it’s legally liable.
Here, once again, for anyone who feels like they’re late to the party 🧶 ⬇️

Today I had a sobering experience that aligned with Germany’s announcement to welcome Russians.
One of Ukrainian refugees in Bremen was just hospitalized with a heart attack, because he asked his son, who had been in Kharkiv Oblast, to tell him about the torture basements. 1/
I shared this with a few people, and they started replaying the record that if Ukraine would lay down the arms the atrocities would stop.
I got explainer threads 🧶 from Twitter memorized by now for such occasions, but no arguments work against distilled conviction. 2/
People block out the things that they haven’t already managed to integrate as a belief. For them, certain points - facts - don’t even participate in the discussion. They’ve convinced themselves that everything is “a jumbled mess”, “unclear” and “both sides suffer”. 3/

I always jokingly say how people who don’t know Russian are blessed to be able to auto-avoid so much filth and venom. But today I wish everyone could first-hand experience the sheer immensity of poltroonery and pettiness that Russians erupted with after Putin’s speech.
It’s existentially horrifying and hysterically hilarious at the same time. Their country has killed about over 100k Ukrainian civilians. It was humanly heartbreaking to, over and over again, confirm how they can’t spare a single worry to this.
And how a visaban would create a bigger uproar than any of the discovered execution sights and mass graves.

But now... Really, you haven’t seen the most scaled definition of “pathetic” if you haven’t seen Russians mass-reacting to the announcement about mobilization.

I will always have my ears peeled for any critique, incl. my social stance towards Russians.
AFTER all torture camps close and Russia returns 2 million of Ukrainians home.
Until then I can’t care less about anyone advocating for cutting any Russians any slack.
I’m sorry, but no matter how much you support Ukraine - if you support any form of bothsideism while Russians have already slaughtered tens of thousands in just a few months - you support only Russia. You think you know and understand this war from pictures?
Listen to some foreign volunteers who traveled to Ukraine, anticipating it to be “like other wars” and, sadly, left as they’ve discovered pure hell they were not prepared for. Just to sink it in: professionals who’ve been to wars before, said that Ukraine was too much to handle.
