    okay so this maiden is holding a gun—

    “Okay…”

    And there’s watermelons everywhere

    “got it”

    and there’s a red thread going everywhere…

    “right…”

    make sure she’s hold a watermelon

    “noted…”

    and there are ghosts in the background, and planes, and bombs, and there’s cum everywhere and the planes and bombs are made of cum and—

    “Alright, we’re going to need another discussion about work rates”

    Ukrainian nationalist brainworms. Apparently she’s supposed to represent a Montaka doll, they grow watermelons in Kherson & Zelensky made a joke about it, and there’s a video of some Russian soldiers getting suprised by a raccoon so now its a symbol of resistance.

            Ukrainian government banned Russian as language from being taught in schools even in areas where it is still predominantly spoken, meanwhile first world capitalist NGOs are pushing them to further privatize their economies and teach children English, in order to make them more useful as cheap labor source for places like America and England (think Ukrainian call centers instead of Indian call centers). Also there’s a conscious effort to further segregate Russian and Ukrainian language, and make Ukrainian resemble Russian less and less despite the shared linguistic heritage. That’s my main issue with viewing this war as an anti-colonial struggle. All signs point to they are switching out one hegemon for another. That’s why it is, at the very least, an inter-imperialist proxy war, and, if you look at who’s pushing for privatization and deregulation and crushing labor unions and left wing political parties in Ukraine (it’s NATO NGOs pushing for this), one side in this “inter-imperialist” struggle might be doing way more imperialism than the other.
