my concern with the peace talks is Russia kills their own delegate and ukraines to pin on Ukraine to escalate further.

 

[Propagandhim]

Was there a thread about how it's sexist that 18-60 y/o men are forbidden to leave the country? Or is that just a no-brainier since a man's life is more expendable than a woman's

It's called toxic masculinity.  To believe that men are more capable than women at fighting, and thus should be credited as defenders of their nation while the women are just whisked away to safety like a bunch of cowards. 

[Nintex]

"Border guards prioritise refugees over foreign students"

There's a serious racism issue in Ukraine, but there's also the part where men aged 16 - 60 are not allowed to leave the country.
Most men that did go to the border of Poland, did so to bring their family to safety and then returned to Ukraine to fight or help out in other ways.

They've recruited medical/administrative staff, drivers and cyber warfare groups from the universities as well.
I understand these Africans want to leave but that's not how it works for able bodied men under martial law.
Especially when former Presidents, Miss Ukraine, diplomats and journalists are wielding guns on the front lines and mixing Molotovs to burn the Russians alive.



This is also cultural or perhaps even instinct(?). In places like Iraq, Syria, where borders and states have little to no meaning because once upon a time some Europeans drew a map. The people there simply move elsewhere in the face of danger or side with the strongest faction like they did in Afghanistan. They have been nomads for far longer. Europeans on the other hand hunker down and built fortresses to defend their land and if you know anything about the history of Ukraine (Holomodor, WW2 and even events prior) it is easy to see why.

if NK invaded SK it would get a lot of posts

Largely due to white Americans being affected and the popularity of South Korean media.

America bombed Somalia a few days ago. Where are the talks of sovereignty and ending war?

the GALAXYBRAIN posts continue, because HOLY FUCKING SHIT did you even bother to look at the details of that 'american bombing'?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the moment he actually looked it up and had to think of an excuse.

I encourage you to make that thread yourself.

The threads on Israeli aggression against Palestine always get a ton of activity.

I could but I don’t feel like it would get enough posts to be productive, honestly.

(From what I can tell the Somalia bombing was in the support of the Somalia government against rebels. So, kind of the opposite from attacking a sovereign state)

yeah, it was a military strike against whats basically African ISIS, and 90% of the "civilians in Somalia killed by bomb" news stories are perpetrated by them, because they're fucking terrorists, so I would love to see one of these Wakanda Forever dipshits make a thread about how African ISIS killing Africans is Good, Ackshually

As someone who doesn't have blonde hair or blues eyes...I don't see the problem with this.  Of course you're going to react more emotionally to people of your own ethnic group, culture, and identity being killed off.  I would never expect Africans and people of African descent to sympathize more with Cambodian genocide than the Rwandan genocide.   This is just human nature.  He's being honest - "it's very emotional for me".  It strikes him more.    Who gives a shit?  Why is this threatening to you?

[Nintex]

Ukraine is probably quite racist as is most of Eastern Europe (simply because they don't have a lot of diverse communities in those former Soviet states because they were literally walled off).
However I think lifting the siege of Kyiv is a more pressing matter.

Unless you want to discuss LGBTQ+, climate and diversity issues with the 'Butcher of Grozny' and Aleksandr Dugin than by all means help them legitimize their war.

They only way they relate to a foreign armed conflict with a former superpower and a place they just last week considered full of bigots is to make it about how white Americans are the real racists. 

Sure people are dying in Ukraine but the real war?  That's the way the media portrays people of color.

Exactly.

If they made those tweets, let them up, and instead said "You know what? We messed up." It wouldn't look or be nearly as bad for them.

Belarus is now enabled to be nuclearized.  Putin has prohibited foreigners from asset sales.  Ambassador claims Putin's inner circle is nervous about Putin talking about nuclear options.   All signs point toward a nuclear suicide kit.

Europe is fed up with the old man's bullshit. Georgia, Moldova, Crimea, the 'refugees' on the Polish border and now Ukraine.

We played this ridiculous game of appeasement for well over a decade.
He and Lukashenka can have their empire isolated from the rest of Europe with the economic output of 1918.
I wish them good luck when the markets open tommorow.

This absolute clown -

The grift is strong on the left right now. And some of y'all have no business laughing at your Fox News-watching parents but then hopping your asses on Twitter and giving that exact same investment to very obvious grifters and baffoons...just leftist ones.

Practice discernment, safeguard where you get your news. And, the most obvious thing: be very wary of anyone who only seems to want to keep you angry.

Telling Rees to practice discernment when it's already full of disinformation, hot takes and doom posting. Not to mention your idiot protected posters who do nothing but post whatever shite they find on Twitter all day long

A couple of days ago they banned the guy who said game devs should take their servers offline in Russia to make the people push back against Putin. He was banned for trolling.

Is it just me or has posting slowed down significantly on reee? I guess that is what happens when you ban half the forum in the Russia/Ukraine threads

I don't even know what the bans are for? I mean, they're banning people criticizing Ukraine and NATO and banning people cheering them both on.

I mean, what exactly are people allowed to say?

This is not an invasion or attack it's simply a special oper-

Ah no wait that's wht the russian independent media is only allowed to say.

This is like every "thread derail" ban, sometimes literally zero people reply to it.

I prefer when they put "attempted thread derail" in the ban message because it shows they understand the bad faith mentality of the poster who dares to drift outside the concrete guidelines of a well established thread topic.

I love their totally scientific reading of that article too.

In the study published in "Epigenomics," they found that the terror of genocide was associated with chemically modifications to the DNA of genocide-exposed women and their offspring. Many of these modifications occurred in genes previously implicated in risk for mental disorders such as PTSD

First of all, how do you measure “the terror of genocide” so you can link it to these chemical modifications? And assuming that, the next line is saying some of those modifications occurred in genes previously implicated in risk for mental disorders such as PTSD. That is a ‘finding’ making quite a few logical jumps there.

The OP’s response?

This sounds like a major discovery and further evidence that a significant trauma can have dire consequences on generations of people after said trauma. I don't even want to imagine what kind of harm and change could be inflicted due to something like slavery.

Evidence?!?!

The parent publishing group, Future Medicine, is owned by a predatory publisher but the specific journal it was published in "Epigenomics" is mostly reputable and will preform proper peer review. Since I don't have access to this study I can't say for sure, but the abstract does make quite a big leap in scientific reasoning to specifically associate the genocide with the epigenomic differences that were seen.

Stress has long been known as a factor in epigenetic changes, so it would be shocking if living through a genocide DIDN'T affect some changes but what application those changes would have (if indeed there were any application) is not part of the scope of this paper as far as I can tell.

[Transhuman]

the terror of genocide was associated with chemically modifications to the DNA

It doesn't even make grammatical sense let alone scientific sense.

[benjipwns]

Kinda of make sense, stress fucks up your body hard, long time stress even worse. Evolution just trying to make sure the next generation lives on. I wish more study would go into the study. Vietinam, Bosina, USA, and too many to think about. They can get plenty of data
