The Quuuuuill

thanks for the help haha. i thought it was pretty clear i meant if russia was going to force doctors without borders into having some borders we could think of them as being the thing i said. i’m still taking that hiatus thuough. i hated this lol

lmao what? no i definitely am not trying to upset folks. i don’t even actually know how “doctors without borders have an incredibly important mission to humanity, and a shared goal of reducing suffering” is upsetting. in fact, despite the fact that i should know better, this thread has gotten me really upset because resisting collonialism is so important and what doctors without borders is so important, and now i’m finding out that the perception is that i just want to upset people?

i really mean this: i feel really disoriented, misunderstood, and hurt. i think i’m gonna go on a hiatus for a while because if this is what lemmy is gonna do to my mental space i don’t want it in my life

I got 4 upvotes and 23 downvotes. I’m pretty sure it’s pretty clear y’all have the prevailing worldview. Furthermore, I just… Don’t know what it is? I just know you think I’m vapid, and I don’t really know where I’m supposed to start digging into making myself better because I’ve received literally zero constructive feedback. Just a bunch of “Look at what a vapid idiot! Haha!”

how is providing medical aid to people being tortured in our global system of suffering not

1. anti-colonial
2. the very most important thing anyone could be doing?

like i have criticisms about how they tend to attract white knight savior types, but russia making their operations harder is pretty clearly evil. i’m open to changing my stance that what they do is important, but i can’t do that if all i get is downvotes and called vapid

doctors without assisting colonialism

The location of the target sends Russia and hopefully some of the Russian populace two messages:

1. Ukraine has the technical capability to hit Moscow
2. Ukraine chooses their targets based on tactical strategic value, not based on instilling terror

BRICS is more about resisting european hegemony to establish a new hegemony than anything. As a unit, sometimes they’ll say something real as hell, but generally speaking 90% of what they do is the same evil backstabbing shit we always talk about the US doing to influence global economics and sustain power. When BRICS is taken into consideration with the G-7 what we actually see is a two party system of global torture that more than anything wants to maintain the basic status quo, they just want to shift slightly who’s on top

India the I

South Africa the S

For sure. That one I can at least… Understand or appreciate that it is related to how hard it is to host potentially illegal content in the jurisdiction the instance is hosted in. But the way the MB/FC situation has been handled is… Embarrassing. Like there’s no way to defend it other than “you yourselves are biased and you want to dictate the kind of bias that is acceptable”

It speaks to a lack of media literacy by the moderation administration of the instance

My god this bot is problematic… Really makes me lose all respect for the .world ecosystem of mods and admins that they’ve heard the feedback and refused to do anything without even considering the possibility of just not having this bot at all. All feedback is replied to with basically “you must implement a bot for us in order for us to take you seriously”

That’s why Zelensky must, under no circumstances, go into any kind of specifics with Trump. Just make it about how great and cool it will make Trump look

“You give me big go booms. I go boom the bad guys you hate. Major winning happens. You take all credit. ‘Very smart and brave of Trump to give Ukraine all those go booms.’ Everyone says so”

Look how much they’ve done with so little and imagine what they could accomplish if we stopped giving Israel blank checks and started giving some of that aid to Ukraine

I think they meant “the Taliban doesn’t consider women to be humans”

Its explaining that dehumanization is how this shit happens

Putin really doing a lot to erode any chance Russia ever controls Kursk again

The weaponry was granted to Ukraine under certain conditions. This means Ukraine has to keep track of which weapons are used where. These statements are clarifications to give Ukraine more flexibility in their combat operations

Estimated to be ~200,000 as of a month ago

His best friend Vlady Poots has a lot of influence there

Business Insider* yahoo is acting as an aggregator

Shoulda considered that before intimidating the peaceful population of Ukraine. I have a friend who completely uprooted her life and career trajectory to manage humanitarian aid to her home country. The fact of the matter is peaceful Russians are want enables the Orkish horde. My view is that they’ve been kept in the dark about the truth of their reality. Their lack of concern is a result of not knowing what is and isn’t real (and to many degrees us Americans live in the same situation with regard to our actions throughout west Asia). All Ukraine is doing right now is bringing truth to Kursk. I hope it doesn’t turn into reprisals. From what I’ve seen, they’re trying a winning hearts and minds strategy. But the bottom line is Russia initiated total war. They have no one to complain to about that there’s a total war going on at their borders
