Insane bravery. Talankin gave up almost everything in order to tell the world about this.

Remember, also, that among the children being indoctrinated into Russia's new forever war are TWENTY. THOUSAND. Ukrainian children who have been stolen from their homes and forcibly resettled in Russian territory with Russian families.

Jeez the Russian imperialist boot lickers are out in force today. 👅👢

Like Israelis towards Palestinians

Look at those adorable tankies in the comments defending rampant fascism.

With actual fascist methodology. Flooding with contradicting claims and shifting blame.

Go on. Do name calling next. You loooove name calling.

This is kinda one of the those no shit Sherlock TIL.

But I can't find the movie there?

It’s like they never read history. What do you think Hitler did nationally after starting a war with everybody? Common place for over oppressing governments to indoctrinate their citizens if it benefits them

It becomes harder for me not to feel bitter despise towards russian teachers, or all public school teachers in general, as a group of people.

Since the dawn of the last century, they became uniquely positioned at the start of the grooming conveyor, thus the pressure on them, and responsibility for our future, are nearly unmatched.

At least, not really matched by their level of preparedness, their funding, respect, etc. Idk about other country's situation, but there it is a dead end job where a person is overworked, isn't stimulated to pursue self-development (why are they even here lol) and is bullied into toying the line really close. There is a natural negative selection that filters out everyone but willing masochists.

And, like, there are many reasons for sympathy with them, and some of them I already mentioned, but I personally struggle not to punch down because a big portion of people sticking there, not filtered out, are constantly groomed to the lesser level of self-respect and become regime's avid footsolders. The system openly pisses in their months while saying how important they are, and while living in such condiditions they form an utterly complacent mindset of reusable condoms. Out of many groups that enthusiastically voted for the tzar, fucking schoolteachers were vocal of their unilateral support for the cause of mutilating neighbors and building the Reich. And as a group of people they fell in my eyes lower than even cops, even troops, because their treachery to their own is worse for it traumatize generations that are yet to act, and however this regime dies, there would be a mass of young voters who are completely brainwashed by these people.

I feel very conflicted and uncomfortable since I do like teachers I had in years prior, and I know how bad they have it all, but my experience now is sooo negative I need to remind myself about my evergrowing bias not to put it into my judgements.

I wonder how/if that changes things if their blood is Ukrainian.
