Culture is political and it can be used as a weapon.

Promoting Russian art & culture is exactly what the Russian government wants you to do.

🧵
1/11 Avoiding politics means consciously ignoring the problems of your community, your society, or the whole world.

Artists who claim to be apolitical or "against politics" are consciousl closing their eves on the problems of their governments or society.

DUNE AND RUSSIAN COLONIALISM

Dune's "Sietch" and "Sietch Tabr" are well-known words for many Ukrainians. Do you know why?
🧵 I just recently watched Dune. I know I'm kind of late, but I have some thoughts and facts to share with you.

DISCLAIMER: I haven’t read the book yet; I just did some research and made logical connections. So Dune fans, please don’t attack me ;)

Here is one more story about Victory Day in #Berlin:
My friend Polina wasn't allowed to enter #TreptowerPark in her yellow jumper because police found her look TOO PROVOCATIVE (she wore a blue shirt and yellow jumper). She had to give it to the police storage. Meanwhile, the park was full of people wearing clothes with russian & soviet symbols and pro-war slogans! For example, she saw a man in a t-shirt with an eagle tearing the Ukrainian flag.
They shouted pro-war slogans glorifying Putin and Stalin. And of course "We can repeat".

Please, stop posting about Bono in Kyiv metro.
Speak louder about Azov in Mariupol. Here is their live press conference
Russians killed more than 25 000 Mariupol civilians.
