Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

The Comfort of False Equivalence
There’s a seductive kind of cowardice masquerading as wisdom in modern discourse: the insistence that all extremes are created equal. It’s what allows the centrist to shrug and say, “Well, both sides are dangerous,” as though morality and method exist on a balanced scale, and history is simply a record of shared mistakes. For MAGA, this rhetorical laziness isn’t just useful. It’s strategic.

While you're over there on Substack, report this guy, Russian ultranationalist, Aleksander Dugin (Putin's brain). I won't be visiting there again and deleted my account yesterday. They leave this stuff up and have a reputation of doing so. The commenters were all on board. There's not an option to report this for what it is. An excerpt of this was on RT previously

The Transgender Ukrainian Nation

Alexander Dugin draws a parallel between the fall from grace of transgender individuals in the United States and the impending abandonment of Ukrainians by the West...

That's truly disgusting. I can fathom neither how sick one would have to write this nor how stupid one would have to be to believe it.

I did a thread on Bluesky about tracing down that particular piece and it was not a road I'd been down before. First, there was a screenshot with an even more inflammatory headline from RT. Eventually, I found a direct link to Substack from a "paleoconservative" POS maintaining a wordpress blog. I get that people actually growing up in Russia their entire lives have learned this stuff and don't excuse it but at least can understand that to some degree. But I grew up in a very progressive bubble and never experienced people like this in my life. The blogger and the commenters were clearly programmed deeply from various corners of more hellish places. It's sick but it's also taught disinformation etc.

Ukrainians are collective transgenders. Russians who have changed their sex, their ethnicity, for an abstract, imaginary, and absurd alternative.

Yes Sasha the more schizo the shit you say is the more true it is.
