Exclusive: Peter Pomerantsev on trying to comprehend Russian war crimes – interview

Why the Russians, according to UK publicist and propaganda researcher Peter Pomerantsev, could not imagine themselves without Putin, but qui

I just wrote a column the other day that destruction and self-destruction are part of Russian culture. A bunch of columns were immediately written arguing against me: they say, you can’t cast aspersions on all of Russian culture. Moreover, some very anti-Putin Australian and UK academics wrote these things. Once again, Solzhenitsyn and Dostoevsky were brought up.

The West now simply does not understand that Solzhenitsyn was an imperialist authoritarian with fascist inclinations, which were definitely not healthy. He often proclaimed authoritarian things. Even those Russian writers who were for human rights often ignored the human rights of other peoples. [...]

So Russian culture needs to reclaim the context in which it is meant to be read, to really, comprehensively read Russian writers. They are read with such flair, with such mysticism, with such romanticization of suffering. You just need to coldly, soberly analyze them, and see that even those of them who were often against Russian authoritarianism were terrible imperialists, and lived in complete harmony with the subjugation of other nations.

The problem with Russian culture is that it obscures or romanticizes Russian violence as part of its literary product.

пан Адамцевич є автором “Запорозького маршу“, який ви не могли не чути, втім ви могли не чути й не читати й не чуткувати його біографії (зара я у вашому клубі, але до кінця дня (вечора ? та, вже вечір, з добрим ранком мене) я переведусі в клуб дізнавшихся його історію, тож запрошую puppy поглядом взятисі за руці й ноги (чи без тактильного контакту, йор віш) та перевестисі разом 👯). енівейс, якщо ви навіть прочитали перше слово і не дочитали до сюди, се знак, що варто подибати інформейшну по кобзарях, але дочитавши до кінця, ви точно знаєте, що се знак

Old Ukrainian bandura from the 1st half of the 19th century, which belonged to the real kobzar, Yevhen O. Adamtsevych (Євген О. Адамцевич, 1903/1904-1972)

There is a Cossack on horseback depicted on this beautiful musical instrument:

Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.

Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.

Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.

той випадок, коли я навіть не знала, що хтіла почути саме се :{ завжди почуваюсі, ніби я маю охопити весь контекст перед тим, як дізнатись, як робити щось навіть не вузькоспеціялізоване. се дуже виснажує, коли в рядок стоїть декілька таких тематично різних інтересів, що дуже розгублює та розтривожує

Hey kids, take it from an old forest hag: it's totally okay to half-ass your hobbies

... trace that picture for your journal

... like old cars without knowing how to fix them

... watch the movies without reading the comics

... super glue the part of the model

... learn one (1) way to make a braid

... watch how-to videos for every step of the recipe

... google every second word in that article

... use the automatic setting on your camera

And don't be ashamed. Real life isn't school. The all or nothing mentality is not healthy. Don't gate-keep yourself from stuff that might be fun. Shrug, grin, and hold eye contact with a boomer while you do it. It's good I promise.

How Russian colonialism took the Western anti-imperialist Left for a ride

Blindness to Russian colonialism distorts Westerners’ view of the Ukraine war

Blindness to Russian colonialism distorts Westerners’ view of the Ukraine war

Yet, Westerners safe from bombardment like long-shot third-party presidential candidate Cornel West continue to accommodate Russia. In a July 13 interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, West called Russia's invasion "criminal" but insisted it was "provoked by the expansion of NATO" and is a "proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation," adding Neville Chamberlain-esque icing on the appeasement cake by proposing Ukrainian territorial concessions to Russia.

The tell in West's remarks was calling the U.S. an empire but referring to Russia by its de jure name, implicitly erasing its imperial, colonial character. It's a common tendency among the segment of the left to which West belongs, one that Kazakhstan-born Pitzer College sociology professor Azamat Junisbai attributes to ignorance and a myopic, know-nothing focus on American imperialism to the exclusion of imperialism by other nations.

"They're kind of imperial about their anti-imperialism," Junisbai said. "There's something very provincial and strange about it where you literally do not know anything about what's happening beyond this one issue you care about."
