speculating that blindness to Russian colonialism could be due to a failure of Western education systems as well as Soviet propaganda and leftist valorization of the Soviet Union as a foe of Western imperialism

lol they’re still blaming the USSR for brainwashing us from the grave

It’s laughable that you totally omit the fact that Russia illegally annexed the Crimea back in 2014 and started this whole mess.

It very clearly started before that with Euromaidan

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, it did, but it’s important to actually understand the context for why it happened in order to end the conflict.

Russia didn’t just suddenly go crazy and randomly decide to restart the Tsar’s empire.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

And I never said Russia’s invasion was legal or even justified. Glad we understand eachother.

@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

You’re very confused lol

@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Pointing out the role of the West in provoking Russia is not the same as saying Russia’s aggressive reaction is good or justified.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Cause and effect have nothing to do with “fault” - the Wests support for Euromaidan lead to the annexation of Crimea which lead to the conflict in the Donbas which lead to the invasion. Things happen for reasons, Russia didn’t just randomly go crazy.

Stop moralizing and start looking at events materially.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Okay, the fact that Russia was provoked doesn’t mean they aren’t also at fault and it doesn’t mean the invasion was justified. All I’m saying is the West shares responsibility for using Ukraine as a proxy for its conflict with Russia. That’s why fault is irrelevant - both sides share responsibility and the war will only end if both sides negotiate.

You refuse to accept that the West played any role at all! As far as you’re concerned, Russians are orcs and we should fight this war to the last Ukrainian.

Yes, the reason diaspora isn’t speaking out against China is because there’s a conspiracy to silence them.~

There can’t possibly be any other explanation.~

No, clearly the Chinese government has your family hostage and that’s why you aren’t out protesting.~ Didn’t you read the article? 😏

Well actually cooling water is bombarded with neutrons, which transforms hydrogen atoms into deuterium and radioactive tritium. It’s just generally regarded as harmless (probably because there’s no good way to test for bioaccumulation.)

@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m socially neurotic about bothering other people. I hate the idea of forcing myself into someone else’s day by talking at them.

An app would kind of solve that, because they’d have to have their phone set to accept my advances.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I want to talk to them! I am afraid of ruining their day by being an unwanted intruder.

I won’t get consent in person, I’ll just never talk to anyone and die alone. 👍

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

What’s creepy about it? They chose to leave their phone profile open for strangers, which means they have flagged themselves for introduction. Just a little becon that basically says "Hey! I’m here and available! This is who I am and what you can expect. Don’t be afraid 😊 "

If everyone who was open to friendly conversation with strangers had a way to signal to me that I won’t ruin their day by talking to them it would really help my anxiety.

It’s not a matter of learning. It’s a matter of mental illness. It is a fact that some people do not want to be bothered, and I’d basically rather kill myself than bother them and there’s no way to fucking know without bothering them first. I take medicine for it but it’s not magic - a tool to help my mental disability would be genuinely helpful.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

There is nothing wrong with using technology to cope with living with disability.

Do you think I’ve never seen a therapist? You can’t therapy away every mental illness, you learn to cope with it. It is a fact that some people do not want to talk to me. You can not deny this! There are people who would rather not be bothered than have me intrude into their life and try to be their friend, some of them would even hate it. Unarguable. Or do you expect me to believe that everyone on Earth wants to be my friend? 🙃

I and my therapist agree the only nontech solution is to accept that, sometimes, you’re going to annoy people by intruding on their day without invitation. That’s what everyone else does because that’s how you make friends. You can’t always wait for someone else to make the first move, sometimes you have to take initiative or you die alone because you never reach out in the first place. I understand this is an irrational and neurotic brainworm that is ruining my life.

I’d also rather die than do that, so yeah, a technological solution is preferable.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

You’re basically right, and all I’m saying is that a technological solution like: my phone buzzes and tells me “the person over there is open to meeting new people and isn’t busy at the moment” would be rad as hell. Just a little reassurance that I’m not an intruder so I don’t get caught in my own head and trip over my own neurosis.

Also, online is totally different from IRL. We’re all just lines of text on a screen here; NPCs in the posting RPG. Even better, by responding you’ve already proven that you’re open to responses.

… although I just realized we can’t disable inbox replies and now I’m freaking out! 😂

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m actually overly sensitive to perceiving cues from other people, so I get constant false signals all the time and it stresses me the hell out! I try so very hard not to assume what other people are thinking, but I am so so so sensitive to even the slightest signs that I blow things way out of proportion.

Like, a typical person talks to a stranger and see’s “oh they’re busy, I’ll talk to them later”

I talk to a stranger and see “oh they hate me I guess I’ll go die lol”

And it doesn’t matter that I know it isn’t real! I’ll just spend the rest of the day beating myself up for bothering them, even as I run around in circles in my own head arguing with myself that I’m being ridiculous. Ugh. Just thinking about this has me stressed lol

Pay no attention to the legacy of colonialism and slave trade, and certainly not modern imperialist extraction from the third world.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Exploitation of cheap labor and resources in the global south, which create artificially cheap commodities to subsidize their lifestyles.

Exporting environmentally destructive resource extraction and production to the global south, allowing them to reap the benefits of plastics and meat without suffering the costs of massive amounts of pollution and hyper-exploitation of local workers.

Being welcomed under the umbrella of America/NATO protection instead of being labeled as one of its enemies.

Like, come on.

The BOJ seems to have taken a totally different approach to inflation and actually has an extremely loose policy right now. Even still, inflation has fallen.

Almost like monetary policy is irrelevant…?

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

No, the results are the same. Inflation is down across the board regardless of monetary policy.

Yeah, any wetbulb above 30°C (86 °F) is potentially fatal without lots of rest breaks and water and shade and such. 35°C is unsurvivable - and not something that happens naturally on Earth.

Yet.

Other popular Christian sects want to torture women to death instead of letting them get abortions and want to specifically kill me for being trans.
