#cancel russian culture

[raven-cat35]

Russians continue to kill our people, our artists, writers, athletes. They mutilate and destroy everyone and everything, so that later the world can invite a Russian director or a children's writer to the premiere. If ghosts were real, I'm sure that the murdered Ukrainian artists would stand by your beds forever and ask why they had to die so that you glorified Russian culture

Should we cancel russian culture?  Should we really fight the culture of imperialism, the culture of oppression?  Jeez, I guess no, because not all russians are bad.

What is this bullshit? Yes, we fucking should, russian culture is not all ballet and Tarkovsky, and even those are soaked in imperialism. Russian culture is also Pushkin, russia’s favourite poet, saying in 19 century that Ukraine is russian’s deal, praising ukrainians in one poem and bashing them in next, when Ukraine get close politically to Poland. Nothing changes. Regimes changes, dictators come and go, the whole notion of god-chosen russian empire stays the same. To quote one ukrainian writer words from today, we don’t need to cancel Russia, we need to destroy it already. Russia is not a country, russia in not a body of people, it’s a construct, built on oppression, it’s time to end it.

Look at these inspired faces and their disgusting opinions. Think of them next time you’re hearing some useless russian whining about sanctions and how regular russians should not suffer because of this war.

These are their comments under the news about missile attack on residential building in Kyiv.

"Warsaw, Vilnius, Oslo get in line, sons of bitches, you’re next!"

"I’m not surprised! We’ve tolerated them without any response from us… If you thought you can bomb Donbas without any repercussions you were wrong"

"This should have been done earlier. We should have levelled Kyiv to the ground. This is the only way we can make them afraid of us, they should know russian’s patience is running out."

"Finally they are in Kyiv!

It’s not so far from Berlin!"

"The attack was on strategic objects only, not on residential buildings! Stop lying, it’s not like you were standing near it 👹"

It’s so funny how everyone’s a culture war guy now, from Putin getting interviewed by Tucker Carlson today, to Taliban fighters being Andrew Tate reply guys on Twitter and complaining about feminism in movies.

Do you think this was always a thing or is this a new type of guy? Like when Putin went “the Russian people are like J K Rowling, because we are being unfairly cancelled by the woke left,” were we always doing this?

Do you think 2000 years ago the Cherusci were going “much like the saint of the Christians, unjustly put upon the cross, I too am being wrongly persecuted for my warrior prowess displayed during the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest”?

[raven-cat35]

I am afraid of the fact that I am not surprised by the cruelty of Russia's crimes, the worst that can happen, the worst disaster or the death of hundreds of people and animals, they can. They are always ready to repeat it out loud, so anyone, if you don't want to be supporting terrorists STOP PROMOTING THEIR CULTURE AND ARTISTS. A culture that exists thanks to genocides and the killing of all living beings

Anyone who has ever said stuff like "culture outside of politics" in regards to russia and spreading russian art/media/music/etc. — kindly, educate yourself.

If you refuse to educate yourself, kindly go fuck yourself.

First of all — a little bit of history lesson. Russia is an imperialist state. Always has been. Over the course of its history (russian empire, the ussr, whatever names it held at any given time period) russia has colonised countless Eastern European and Central Asian nations. Over 90% of russian "culture" is culture stolen from those nations. Ivan Aivazovsky, Kazimir Malevich? The artists I bet you thought were russian? Yeah, they're Ukrainian; and that's only two I can name off the top of my head.

But sure, let's say the art you're sharing is really russian; what's wrong with sharing some art? The war is just the politicians fault, and can you imagine if someone had tried to "cancel" British culture like this for all the atrocities they've done???

Well, I'm sorry, I can't seem to remember Britain committing any genocides in 2023. Use your head — you're you're using the same "separate the art from the artist" argument — there is literally no way to do it if the "artist" is alive and profits from it! And russia does profit: of course there're music and movies and video games, profits from which are literally going to help create weapons to kill Ukrainians; but that is already obvious. No, I want to tell about how russian "culture", "art", things that don't bring them money still are helping russians in their invasion.

It's all about popularising and media presence; it is about making you believe that politics are completely separate from other aspects of life; it is about gathering sympathy for "poor russians" whose government is at fault, and they're just people: with history (colonizing), culture (stolen), their lives (which are, apparently, worth more than the lives of Ukrainians).

It's about spreading the propaganda that regular people are not at fault, that it's the government, that it's only one man responsible for the entire war, that real people are against it! And the more you believe that — the more you begin seeing russians as being victims instead of oppressors, and the more you begin to undermine Ukraine's fight for our lives — "how can we sanction russia, there are poor people living there", "how can we give Ukrainians weaponry, they're killing russians!"

Here's the thing: russians are not against the war. They're not afraid to revolt because they're scared for their lives. They're the ones in tanks, with guns in hands shooting civilians and bombing hospitals. They're the ones sitting in the comfort of their homes writing on social media how Ukrainians deserve to be raped and murdered simply for being Ukrainian (you don't see a lot of that — it's in russian. But a lot of Ukrainians know russian, so we do. We share it, too, for you to see it — but you don't want to)

And those "apolitical" russians, who don't claim to support the war, you know what they do? They take "aesthetic" photos of Mariupol — a Ukrainian city, completely burned down by russians. They call it "doing whatever they want in their country"

Even the most "liberal" "anti-war" russian doesn't think Crimea is Ukrainian.

But of course, you don't want to listen. You want to pretend that russians don't protest because they're scared for their lives, and you want to continue to consume russian media uncritically, because you think that if russians will have to face consequences for their crimes, then you, American or British will have to do so as well.

You should be thinking "my country did terrible things, that's why we need to learn from our mistakes and don't let anyone else do those things", but instead you're thinking "my country did terrible things and experienced little to no consequence, that's why we should let other countries do the same!", and it shows.

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. Later, Gary became part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and was one of its first presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

The world really seems incapable of grappling with the reality that Russian forces now occupy one of the largest nuclear power plants in Europe, which they have mined and surrounded with military equipment and weapons and are using to basically blackmail and terrorise said world.

The west is so ready to hate Ukrainians and for what? What have we ever fucking done? But Russians can seem to do anything no matter how vile and cruel and evil and it's all "don't cancel their great culture" "it's the government not the people" "they're standing up to NATO uwu"

I will never understand the western left after this.

[archtroop]

Kindly asking that you refrain from reblogging information about Roma, and what may constitute a slur against Roma, when you are not part of the community nor do you have the connections or understanding to know what constitutes a slur against Roma.

It's spreading misinformation, and it's honestly downright disrespectful.

Thanks.

Kindly asking ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD to stop reblogging about Jews if you are not one, as it is spreading misinformation and "it's honestly downright disrespectful".

Anon. That's absolutely USELESS of you.

If you find something I reblogged offensive or what have you - comment on it, reblog on it. Take a stand.

A passive aggressive anon ask is USELESS.

Are YOU Roma? Are you one of my followers/mutuals? I can never know. I can't trust you at all, I can't say if you are writing in good faith, or on behalf of a trend/common mis/conception, or if you are coming from a genuine place.

Anon, where are you from in the world? Would "Tsigani" be a slur to you or only against people in Moldova, Romania etc? Have you asked THEM if they see those terms as slurs?

Would "Soanii" be offensive? Because this is the term in Israel and other parts of the Middle East Roma are called (while "Gypsy" refers to probably Egypt, Soanii refers to Saana in Yemen or Tsoan - ancinet Egyptian city, or is a word that is reminiscent of an ancient word for "nomad".)

I will not stand for this culture of being offended by anything and everything just for the sake of it. Unless you all are ready to call all Jews "Bney / Bnot Israel" (sons and daughters of Israel). As it is not something that is plausible, Jews is OURS now. Jew derived from Yehuda, the second kingdom after the kingdom of Israel had split.

On the yellow stars in the 30-40s it was written: Jud.

In Russia and Ukraine etc we were Yevrey (which is ironically more correct on an ethnic level, and I have a suspicion as to why). If they were offensive on purpose they would use "zzid", a construct somewhere between Yid and the Russian word for "greedy" (Comunists hating on Capitalist logic. A variant of millenia old JewHate).

Now the world has it for the "Zionists". And hell if I ever let anyone take that from us and "slurify" it.

Anon, you do you, but if you want to have a discussion over terminology, asking "kindly" to not discuss it at all, is your SURE WAY to degrade those terms to oblivion and reinforce their prevalence.

I reblogged that post (and I have a good indication what post you may refer to, but again, anonask is a useless method of pointing at anything and in establishing a folloup, all I have left is guessing), because it brought up an interesting point.

A term becomes a slur if used as such or was constructed as such. If people utter the word "Jews" or "Gypsies" with disdain, they are slurring. Absolutely no question here. I am not naive.

Anon, are you talking on behalf of all the Roma in the world? All the ones who are referred to as Gypsy, Soanii, Tsiganii? I would never have the gull to stand here and represent all the Jewish community in the world and claim that "Jew" is a slur and we all are ONLY AND NOTHING BUT Bney / Bnot Israel.

I absolutely RESPECT that Roma refer to themselves as Roma. But you can not erase other terms from existence by getting offended, especially if those terms refer to places of origin. It's useless. By trying to cancel something out of existence, you only make it stronger. You either COMMENT directly on the use of those terms and present your opinion, and not on anon, because I can not have faith in anon (anons are for snitching and confessions). Or you achieve absolutely nothing.

Anon, who are you? Are you US Roma? Then maybe we can have a conversation.

And another piece of advice from someone who knows hate: two ways to battle offensive terminology/slurs.

Either re/claim them or downplay them/not react to them until they dissipate.

Your choice.

The Call-Out by Cat Fitzpatrick

A fast-paced, debut tragicomedy of manners written in verse about queer (mostly trans) women that is funny, literary, philosophical, witty, sometimes bitchy and sometimes heartbreaking.

Aashvi, Kate, Bette, Keiko, Gaia, and Day are six queer, mostly trans women surviving and thriving in Brooklyn. Visiting all the fixtures of fashionable 21st century queer society—picnics, literary readings, health conferences, drag shows, punk houses, community accountability processes, Grindr hookups—The Call-Out also engages with pressing questions around economic precarity, sexual consent, racism in queer spaces, and feminist theory, in the service of asking what it takes to build, or destroy, a marginalized community.

A novel written in verse, The Call-Out recalls the Russian literary classic Eugene Onegin, but instead of 19th century Russian aristocrats crudely solved their disagreements with pistols, the participants in this rhyming drama have developed a more refined weapon, the online call-out, a cancel-culture staple. In this passionate tangle of modern relationships, where a barbed tweet can be as dangerous as the narrator’s bon-mots, Cat Fitzpatrick has fashioned a modern novel of manners that gives readers access to a vibrant cultural underground.
