Alexandre Oliva (moved to @lxo@gnusocial.jp)I want both Putin and Biden out of Ukraine, so that it is free from tyranny from both sides. you don't seem to mind if Biden gets to rule over Ukraine, which wouldn't make Ukraine free from tyranny. you seem to assume USNato's protection comes at no cost in sovereignty, without realizing it's not unlike mafia protection. "nice country you got there. t'would be a shame if Russia were to invade it. surely you wouldn't be able to defend yourself unless you were to join our empire, so why don't you?" the US can be pretty nice when they're trying to seduce you. but after you get into the abusive relationship, it's not so nice any more. no, it's not nicer than Putin, it only begins differently.

Alexandre Oliva (moved to @lxo@gnusocial.jp)friends and relatives are dying in Brazil because of the recent US-supported coups too, that landed a genocide in office. I understand you in Eastern Europe are scared of (and scarred by) the Russian empire, just as we in LatAm are scared of (and scarred by) the US empire. but the point I'm trying to make is that it's not good to be submissive to either empire. both suck in similar ways. both are plutocracies. neither will do you good once they gain power over you. FTR, I don't support Putin any more than I support Biden. suggesting otherwise is completely missing the point. both are public leading faces of plutocratic empires. I support Ukraine, the land of my mother's parents, not Russia's nor USNato's rule over it. green go, red go. got it? as for propaganda... do you recall any weapons of mass destruction in iraq? "unprovoked invasion" is the new "weapons of mass destruction". just as massive and destructive. just as much of a lie. assange is in jail under torture because he tried to inform us. now what we have left is propaganda, because even journalists are too scared to publish what the empires don't want to see published. now, that Ukraine so desperately needs NATO's support to stand up to the provoked invasion is why it lost, even if USNato wins. it's hard to doubt this is the intended and predicted outcome of the provocations. the invasion sucked so much for Russia that it's hard to imagine they'd have done if it they could have helped it. QED?

Alexandre Oliva (moved to @lxo@gnusocial.jp)please don't waste your US-fed propaganda on me. it's the 50th anniversary of the Latin American 9/11, the US-supported coup in Chile. one out of many coups, invasions, bombings, blockades and more. let's not pretend any of the empires in this conflict are nice and for democracy, shall we? I've lived through the consequences of not one but three US-supported coups in my country, because the country's population dared choose democratically people who weren't submissive to the US. all three coups were violent, but in different ways, as the US refined its techniques. what happened in ukraine a few years ago, as the population and the government leaned towards an approximation with Russia, was little different from the disinformation campaigns that enabled congress to illegally remove an elected president, or the judicial fraud that prevented the people's by-far favorite candidate from running in the next election. there have been similar coups, attempted coups and campaigns in so many other countries that I've lost count. right now, the US is bombing several countries, but the Western propaganda makes people focus on Ukraine because that's in US's interest. both empires have training materials, vast experience and a long history of meddling with other countries to get at each other, and save for some surreal coincidence, Ukraine is just one of the current victims. to claim anything else is either dishonest or naïve. whoever wins in usnato x russia, ukraine lost
no caso de alguém que manifesta orgulho de sua (ilusória) apoliticidade, não surpreende nem chega a decepcionar muito, mas no de alguém que mostra sinais de consciência política, de enxergar dinâmicas semelhantes noutras frentes de embate político, o não conseguir (ou não querer) ver essa semelhança chega a ser doloroso
o pior cego não é o que não quer ver, é o que defende quem lhe mantém os olhos vendados

Alexandre Oliva (moved to @lxo@gnusocial.jp)não cheguei a buscar diagnóstico formal (ficou tão óbvio ululante que não senti necessidade), mas mudou a paleta de cores com que eu vejo o mundo. o que mais fez diferença pra mim foi parar de lutar contra coisas minhas que não têm como ser diferentes, pra me concentrar nas que têm; entender e valorizar os "superpoderes" sabendo o preço que pago por eles; ser mais tolerante e compreensivo comigo mesmo e com outres. divisor de águas mesmo, pra mim e pra família toda. torço pra que esse conhecimento seja tão positiva pra família dela quanto tem sido pra nós.

Alexandre Oliva (moved to @lxo@gnusocial.jp)consta aqui que o negacionista de blobs e passapanista pros blobos em pele de cordeiro não sou eu. é projeção que chama? "onde dói", pra mim, é o sujeito promover software contendo blobs privativos de liberdade, e achar que tá promovendo software livre. aí nega que tem blobs, nega que os blobs sejam relevantes, relativiza pra conquistar popularidade e depois avançar na liberdade (ãrrã, é bem assim que funciona), e tudo isso fortalece os agressores à liberdade, que operam de forma desonesta e enganosa ao apresentarem seus produtos como livres (ou mesmo abertos). esses empacotadores de blobs não são nossos aliados, e quem promove esses produtos não está promovendo software livre, muito menos a liberdade de software. está jogando em favor do time contrário. até a figura final é desonesta, ao sugerir que é fogo amigo a crítica dirigida aos falsos aliados, que tratam de promover a aceitação de mais e mais software privativo de liberdade misturado com software livre. não é fogo amigo, é combate ao mesmo inimigo da liberdade de sempre, que tenta se infiltrar. é desonesto e enganoso. dói ver gente defendendo isso. se não for desonestidade como a dos blobos, que vestem a pele de cordeiro para enganar otários, é de uma profunda falta de compreensão do lugar que ocupamos e do problema que combatemos. não surpreende, porque o mundo tá cheio de pobres de direita, de escravos apoiadores do escravismo e outras aberrações. mas são aberrações que me doem sim.
