I know many people felt sad for the Ukrainian dog whose owner was killed by a Russian airstrike in Kyiv. So I have some good news. The dog has been adopted by the killed owner’s adult son and his little daughter:
The Bereaved Dog Update
German Self-defense
Another entertaining piece of news from Europe:
I’m glad that men will now know how to defend themselves from knife-wielding women in Germany. I was worried about them for a while but I can see now that they can bravely repel the attacks from those scary women
A Flag That Divides
Any flag by definition divides. That’s the whole purpose of a flag’s existence. A flag is a symbol of “us” that excludes the “not us.”
If you want a nation (as Starmer’s first sentence seems to indicate), then the very first thing you need to do is divide those who belong from those who don’t. If the entire planet is Britain, then nothing is.
Where was Starmer educated? This empty, lisping prattle is unworthy of a grown man.
European Priorities
Linehan is the author of “Father Ted”. He’s a national treasure but he criticized gender ideology, so he got arrested.
Europeans find it easy to mobilize to arrest a comedian but it’s utterly impossible for them to deport actual murderers:
This is so embarrassing to watch that one wants to pretend Europe doesn’t exist.
School Uniforms
I wish more European countries went back to their folk roots in school uniforms. Here’s an example from Ukraine where children had their first day of school today:
And not just in school. People should wear more of the traditional fabrics and motifs from the clothing of their ancestors. See how pretty this girl looks.
War on Women
Only in the past week
– police in Paris arrested a Libyan refugee for raping a Ukrainian woman by the Eiffel Tower.
– in Germany, an Iraqi man pushed a 16-year-old Ukrainian girl under a freight train.
– in Charlotte, NC a vagrant stabbed a 23-year-old Ukrainian woman to death at a train station. They’d never met before. The vagrant was simply strolling around, looking for a cute white girl to stab in the throat.
The point I’m making is that Ukrainians are not numerous. They are a bit of a random demographic in all these areas. I could say Slovak or Norwegian and get the same result. We stopped hearing the words “a war on women”, and it’s not a mystery why.
Great Concern
I’m sure everybody is very concerned and will express their deep concern in ways that transmit how extremely concerned everybody feels. Maybe they should also give Russia two weeks to stop doing it. Why not combine the Americans and the European manifestations of impotence?
Is Britain a Soviet State?
In the USSR, displaying the official national flag was the norm. I understand what the poster wants to say with his reference to a Soviet state but his carelessness with terminology is counterproductive. He won’t be able to stop what is happening because he can’t name the problem. You can’t solve an issue that you don’t understand.
Analogy is the favorite toy of an impotent mind. Not everything can be referenced back to familiar things from the past. Sometimes you must make an effort and learn new stuff because your opponents are doing it and leaving you behind.
Q&A about Parubiy and Hitler
Dude, seriously, be your age. You can’t cut off everything Parubiy said before and after these words and pretend he was a Hitler supporter.
What he actually said in a discussion of the proposed Ukrainian law on referendums was that it can be dangerous because people like Hitler (whom Parubiy never called the greatest; this is all utterly invented) have used direct democracy for nefarious purposes. Here is the actual quote that I GTed for you:
But we still have discussions about the law on the Ukrainian referendum. I am a big supporter of direct democracy. I even studied it at a scholarly level at one time. By the way, I will tell you that the person who practiced direct democracy the most was Adolf Aloizovych in the 1930s. And we should remember this, too, because in the 1930s it was one of the key methods of manipulating people, among other things. Therefore, this law should be well-thought-out.
Are you the same person who asked about Bandera? Because this is yet another instance of clumsy Russian propaganda I’m seeing on the blog in a few days. Nobody can be a successful politician in Ukraine and openly admire Hitler. Do I need to explain why, or is it obvious? Your bullshit radar should be on overdrive when you hear this kind of very obvious fabrication. Every single voter in Ukraine today lost relatives in the war against Hitler. Every single one. It’s easier to appeal to African American voters by defending slavery than to Ukrainians by praising Hitler. Because Hitler was more recent. We literally all have people in the cemetery who fought Hitler. And you honestly think that a politician would come to these voters, with their cemeteries, the country that lost the most in WW2, and go, “hey, guys, I hear that dude Hitler was pretty rad. Who’s with me?” Read a book, educate yourself, it’s sad to be this excluded from all knowledge.
Whatever source you are using, it’s lying to you. You can see yourself how it added words to the quote that were never said and removed other parts of the quote. Don’t be a Candace Owens. Be vigilant about your sources.
Of course, there will be that one reader whose only takeaway from this post will be that I said that African Americans loved slavery, so I’ll clarify that no, they didn’t. They hated it. Which is kind of my point but whatever.
Sincere Compassion
I actually very sincerely care about my readers. When they disappear for a while, I worry. For those of us who participate regularly, what we’ve got here is a community. For me, it’s the most stable community I have found anywhere outside of my family. I’ve moved a lot. I’ll probably have to move again. The only place where I can witness people’s lives and have them witness mine in a continuous manner is here. This is the only place outside of my physical home where I’m completely sincere. And I deeply value people who stick around for every lap of the journey, every permutation, every new enthusiasm, of which I have an inordinate amount.
Of course, my compassion for readers who are in a bad place is sincere. Life is life. We all go through bad shit. Next week is the 12th anniversary of my son’s death. My readers help me live with the grief. I try to help them with theirs. If all this wasn’t completely sincere, people wouldn’t keep coming.
