A 🧵 Twitter toxicity is something else. Let’s be clear - you do not have to admire or even like #Zelenskyy to support #Ukraine or be #Ukrainian. That’s a ridiculous and illogical claim to make against @tweet4anna. However this litmus test of Ukrainian-ness is also ridiculous
Identity is complicated. I personally know many #Ukrainians who do not speak Ukrainian for a variety of life circumstances. My mother was born in western #Ukraine️ at the #slovak border. While she is a Ukrainian citizen, we dis not speak Ukrainian at home but
rather Slovak, rusyn or Polish as she belongs to an ethnic minority (#lemko) with complicated identity issues. There are different factors that contribute to ethnicity. Another thing though is
the faux concern @tweet4anna shows for bullying and potential #suicidal feelings. She belongs to a group that works tirelessly to attack, discredit and cast doubt on anyone who questions unethical members of her group. I know this because I witnessed it firsthand
To suddenly be concerned about ”bullying”, when really it’s simply holding someone accountable who collected almost a thousand euro in donations, is laughable and hypocritical given Anna’s behavior and those of her in this group
not to mention that this group has engaged in transphobic commentary and straight up white supremacy apologia. Toxic mess 🤦♀️
if you see someone in your group publicly defending a dangerous white supremacist that works to unite far right groups across Europe and took part in planning a neo Nazi black meta festival, perhaps the right thing to do is speak up for fucks sake. Don’t give fuel to propagandist
I am deeply tired of people claiming to fight against Russian #fascism yet excuse fascist behavior when they see it right in front of them. I don’t care if you’re #ukrainian or not.
