Children's hospital. That's their target. Fucking children's hospital. Children with cancer and rare diseases are the threat to russia apparently
doctors from Ochmatdit clinic, that specialized on treating children with cancer and was struck by missile during the attack this morning, are helping with cleaning up the rubble and getting the children from under the building, even though they themselves are hurt
holy fuck.
Zeus: I can't believe you're late. Where have you been all this time?
Hermes: I had urgent circumstances...
At that time, urgent circumstances:
Dude, how can it be that every single fucking thing about US politics trends on here immediately, yet when 27 countries in the EU vote and there's a historic, alarming lurch to the right (far right parties have won the elections in Italy, Austria and France), it's not even trending? In Germany, the AFD, a right-wing populist, anti-democratic, racist party with a wing that is officially extremist (read: Nazis) and is in parts monitored by the office for the protection of the constitution, is the second strongest party (also among 17-24 year olds!). Guess I'll die.
Edit, because so many people in the tags are like "because most of tumblr is US-American":
The point of this post was never "why aren't Americans talking about this". The point was to ask why only American politics (and sometimes UK politics) ever make it to the trending page at all. It's not like only Americans can make things trend on tumblr. Eurovision is trending every year despite Americans not giving a fuck about it. The point is, why aren't the people directly affected by this election posting about it more? Sure, it would be great if more Americans would care about foreign politics the way everyone else is forced to care about US politics, but this post was never about Americans in the first place.
Edit two: tumblr is not a news source! I've seen some comments on how I should've included more info in the original post. The thing is, this was a post where I just wanted to vent my own personal grievances and I had no idea it would blow up like this (which is great, I'm glad people are talking about this topic!). If you want to read up on the election, please go to serious news sources and not tumblr.
not to be a debbie downer but it's kind of fucked up that Ukrainians go to sleep knowing that they might not wake up because of the russian missile and the world just doesn't care :)
If another western idiot starts talking about nazism in Ukraine, I will be showing them 2024 EU election results
What the fuck Zelenskyi has to apologise for?
Ukraine has been in state of active war for over 2 years, over 10 in a slow frozen conflict.
According to various factions on le internet, Ukraine has to apologise for
telling Isreael to resepct international rules too late
for recognising Palestine since 1988
for hitting oil depots in russia
for escalating the conflict
for not doing enough
for for being far right zionist state (???)
for killing russian rapists i meant russian soldier
for stationing air raid defence in cities
for swinding american tax payers
for getting too much international attention
for USA housing/education/healthcare crisis
for fucking breathing, i guess
There's a reccuring theme of Ukraine being blamed for a 3rd party problem, and we here are reacting with "So we have to solve your problem too?"
This is just terrifying. It's such a common thing, to go to the mall on a weekend. But you never know if you'll come back home or burn alive because of russian bombs. People go to home improvement store to buy tools to rebuild destroyed by russians homes. And never come back. Also because of russians. This is insane.
We desperately need air defence. Especially for Kharkiv right now. PLEASE call your representatives and ask for air defence for Ukraine.
we're gonna freeze in darkness this winter and no one fucking cares
it's only June but our energy infrastructure is already severely fucked by russian attacks and it will only get worse
worse than before
the whole country descending into the stone age worse
and it still won't be an escalation as long as it's Ukrainian lives that are at stake
russians dropped two bombs on a kindergarten today
Officially, Ukraine has identified 20,000 children illegally deported to russia. Bring them home! (x)
This is Roman Horilyk after two years in russian captivity.
Roman was the senior checkpoint supervisor for the protection of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The russians took him and the other 168 national guardsmen guarding the Chornobyl NPP hostage and took him out of Ukraine through Belarus in March 2022. Now he was returned home, exchanged for the russian invaders.
Look at these photos. This is not an isolated case, but a pattern. Russia calls us Nazis...
Since the beginning of the year, more than 700 libraries have been destroyed or damaged in Ukraine.
Russia struck Ukraine’s major printing press, Faktor-Druk in Kharkiv, killing at least 5 employees among the 7 dead & 20 injured. Kharkiv is the heart of Ukraine’s publishing industry. This attack on culture underscores the genocidal nature of Russia’s war. Factor-print was bombed exactly one week before the Book Arsenal (book festival), just when dozens of publishing novelties were being rushed to print. The bombing was aimed at preventing these books from being published, at preventing Ukrainians from having book fairs - for a quarter of a century, the Russians had managed to silence them using other methods, and now that they have started to find their feet, they are using bombs and missiles. And all for the sake of the "great Russian culture". Forcing people to read this literature because of the absence of destroyed Ukrainian literature. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the Vivat publishing house (the bookshop belongs to them).

Before and after russian captivity.
Got this reply from a russian under my post about the destroyed Marinka, Ukraine
“Ordinary russians are against putin”, my ass
By the way, a reminder of what Marinka looks like these days:
russian mysterious soul is death and destruction
The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.
The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)
The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.
Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.
Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.
The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.
The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.
The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.
we can't expect Marika to do all the work
O, Elegant warrior of Rot.
