I recall that AA very much sided with the English over the subject of repression of the Welsh language on the general basis that all nationalism is bad and not seeing a difference in nationalism of the oppressed and the oppressor.Just to pick out one of the inflated allegations: do you have a reliable source for this? AFAIK the Russian language isn't banned any more than the English language is banned in Wales. Zelenskiy himself is a native Russian speaker. What happened is the promotion of Ukrainian as a national language, much as Irish and Welsh and other suppressed languages are now encouraged by their respective governments, having been repressed for centuries by their English overlords. Russian and other ethnic languages are still constitutionally protected in Ukraine.

Its a better and nicer place than urban in a lot of ways.FB is the top level of amateur agitation before being promoted to the pro big leagues
And I really don't care what you lot think of me. If you wanna think of me as 'pro-Russia' or 'sexist' thats your problem really and theres nothing I can do about it.

I agree and I am aware that repression of dissdents in Ukraine (which includes harsh repression of anarchists) is on a smaller scale than in Russia. I don't agree that being fed up with some of the pro-Ukraine nonsense equates to 'helping Putin' though and I think its normal.
Thats an interesting point and maybe you are right but I don't think we can just blame the media for people not really giving much of a shit about Yemen and other conflicts around the world in comparison to Russia/Ukraine and I agree with what you say about racism.
Your response, however, seems to be to tell people to also not give a shit about the atrocities in Ukraine. Like caring is a zero-sum game.
You care about Yemen? What form does that caring take? How is it distinct to the lack of caring that you perceive in others?

No amount of cajolery...
Not really up to you,a guy, whether something is sexist tbh. Have you considered most people don't say anything on leftist fb because the culture is too ingrained and there is just too much of it.
Fwiw I agree that some of the pro Ukraine memes on this thread have been shite, not really the point though.

The opposite of how I was treated on here and the opposite of the 'philosophy' of this place.
Nope, thats not my intention at all.
What does that mean in practice? How does your intention translate to your actions? What is achieved by your complaints, in the minds of those you are complaining to?
You’ve also not answered what your caring about Yemen actually amounts to and how this is different to other people.
The person who posted that meme has never come across as sexist and some women liked it aswell. None of my facebook friends, or group pages I'm in, have ever appeared to be sexist to me and have not been accused of it by any women. I got that from an individual's page not any group page. It does seem to me that you're reading too much into it.
Anyway, think its best I get back to my break from this place.
Edit : women on facebook secretly think its sexist, how convenient for you. And you've detected that with your psychic powers, reading their thoughts. Brilliant, thankyou. My other half didn't think it was 'sexist' either btw

Sexism is not a thing you “are”, it is embedded into actions that people do. Sometimes, those actions are institutionalised or immanent in the assumptions being made. The meme is sexist because its face of ignorance is an archetype of a particular woman. This is the case regardless of whether “some women” had also internalised these assumptions to the extent that they didn’t notice them.
I would suggest that rather than having a break from this place, you seek to use it to question your Facebook bubblethink.

If you think anarchists should be passive victims and not fight back in Ukraine I highly recommend you read about Nestor Makhno.
Comedy gold. Thankyou.
I don't think that and funnily enough I'm currently in the middle of reading Alexandre Skirda's brilliant book about the Makhnovists and Makhno himself (though I'm also reading other stuff aswell), which I highly recommend - not the first book I've read about the Makhnovists either.
None of these comments directed at me have been worth reading at all, unlike Skirda's very good book. I must stop looking at the comments on these forums, though it is rather amusing tbh.
Makhno pisses all over the likes of Zelensky and would have rightly despised him for the bourgeois leech he is and would have never joined the state or displayed or flown the flag of the bourgeois Ukrainian rada. And the Ukrainian bourgeoisie are no fans of the Makhnovists, despite any pretentions.

Sums you up, really. What do you think the point is of a forum? Just for you to stick up trite memes for the benefit of the masses?
