#StopFaTOL #StopFascism

🧵 #LongThread 👇

1️⃣ #FaTOL: Wild nationalism has turned into hypertrophic patriotism. Obtrusive propaganda of patriotism: catchy slogans, mottos, symbols with 🇧🇾 banners. Now also at kindergartens...
People should consolidate around its regime. Even a new holiday introduced-"National Unity Day"

- Forced participation in var. patriotic events («Sviata z-pad palki» «Celebration under the lash»)
- Forcing to join patriotic parties/ORGs, for remuneration/under threat of expulsion/dismissal
- The ideology of «bright future» replaced by ideology of street chavs "gopniks"

2️⃣ #FaTOL: Since the de facto introduction of martial law in Aug. 2020, citizens of Belarus have been deprived of the right to peaceful expression of dissent in any form. To «stabilize the situation in the CNTRY», HR can be ignored & thus even torture&killing is being justified:

-thousands of persecuted under Crim.Code
-tens of thousands under Admin. Code
-mass torture
-murders
- min. 1441 of HR organizations eliminated since 2020
