@levelsio Being against AC in the summer is like being against heating in the winter, or food when hungry, or water when thirsty. Crazy that people are against such basic survival standards.

Killing rescuers and firefighters helping civilians - that’s the level of Russian culture. Not Tchaikovsky.

Reporting from the Financial Times on Xinjiang remains incredibly grim:

* In some areas, 90% of children are taken from parents to be educated in boarding schools where they aren't allowed to speak Uyghur
* Officials monitor who eats during Ramadan and report those who skip meals
* Basic items like prayer mats and religious text are considered illegal contraband
* Adult Uyghur women are pressured to marry Han Chinese men, and there are official goals to sterilize a certain % of them.
* Xinjiang has the largest prison capacity in the world relative to population
* Huge numbers of Uyghur prisoners are now being shipped across the country in forced labor schemes, as a way to dodge Xinjiang sanctions/boycotts
* The CCP shut down all 10 existing Uyghur-language publishers, none remain. They fed one university's book collection into a shredder.

There's a lot going on the world, but it's worth remembering that China is still actively engaged in cultural genocide. They're barely even hiding it, they openly talk about the need to 'correct' Uyghur culture and create 'ethnic unity'. They are openly destroying an entire culture as efficiently as they can, cutting children off from parents, restricting language, restricting religious practice, forcing sterilizations and intermarriage, imprisoning anyone who resists the tiniest amount and shipping them out to forced labor factories. That is what the CCP is.

More like a lot of written law is half draconian, half retarded, and then again a lot of it is either impossible to observe without violating something or impossible to enforce, leading to it becoming even more of the same over time. It's not that Russians are lawless, it's that the unwritten part is alway more important in those parts.

As of throwing the kids into a grinder out of sheer spite, yeah that's utterly disgusting, some dystopian fiction type shit. Spite is the same everywhere, but sane places do not give retards such levers lest the society rots to shit and grief cascades and festers. Sadly all the boomers in charge consider this random example-making type shit an acceptable control mechanism.

It all culminating in ersatz-SU vibes but twice as nuts and ten times more cynical in a bad way some decades down the road was not on me bingo cards, no.

Do you know how the Russian Ministry of Defense called killing sleeping kids in their apartments?

[Pepel Klaasa @pepel_klaasa]

I feel a deep urge to shove a piece of paper like this down the throat of everyone who says that things in Mariupol “aren’t so clear-cut.”

Here’s what the owners of properties in Mariupol get now. I also know about the same in Berdyansk.

“Russian Federation
Donetsk People’s Republic

ADMINISTRATION
OF THE MARIUPOL CITY DISTRICT
OF THE DONETSK PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC

NOTICE

The Administration of the Mariupol City District (hereinafter — the Administration), acting in the interests of the owner of the real estate property located at the following address (hereinafter — residential premises/apartment):

Due to the absence of title documents for the specified real estate property, properly registered in accordance with the law, you are required within three working days to vacate the apartment and hand over the full set of keys to the residential premises to an authorized representative of the Administration.

In the event of refusal to vacate or violation of the evacuation deadline from the specified residential premises, sanctions assumed by Article 19.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, and Articles 139 and 330 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, may be applied against you.

Conservative estimates say that there are 40-100K Russian citizens who have come to live in Mariupol after occupation: including administration, private citizens who took mortgage or just bought real estate there.

Just imagine this:
- They killed around 100K civilians in Mariupol (estimates according to satellite imagery + morgue data – not possible to confirm while the city is occupied).
- Now they destroyed their graves (and previously just poured concrete over the bodies in the apartment buildings basements).
- They move in by THOUSANDS to live in the apartments of those dead people or those who cannot come back to confirm their property rights.

I just wish everyone could wrap their heads around these simple facts. Without any geopolitical points, grand ideas, and such. This is indeed THIS simple: people lived their lives, never attacked anyone, mostly spoke Russian, owned apartments and businesses and were generally happy with their lives. Russia took ALL of that away and either killed or virtually tortured the citizens into obedience, brainwashing their kids and substituting the Ukrainian population with Russians.
I have no freaking idea how anyone can support that. There is something deeply insect-like in it. Like a colony of ants moving into a neighboring ant house after killing its owners.

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

The inevitable conclusion from the released Putin-Bush transcripts:
Putin didn’t invade Ukraine because he opposed NATO enlargement.
Putin opposed NATO enlargement because it would have prevented his goal of invading and eliminating Ukraine.
The ideas he had a quarter century ago - that Ukraine (and Kazakhstan) are “artificial countries” that have been “given away” by Russia and therefore must return — are the ideas he still holds today.
