People Just Like You
This is the fourth year when Ukrainians celebrate Christmas in the trenches, separated from their loved ones and under the barrage of Russian missiles. While they are sacrificing their lives and livelihoods, we in Europe continue to enjoy our comfortable lives, a lot of us still wallowing in insouciance.
Many still haven’t comprehended that the world changed forever on the 24th of February 2022, and that our lives cannot be the same anymore. We simply cannot allow ourselves to enjoy our lives of peace and comfort, while Ukraine is bleeding - protecting that very peace and comfort that we take for granted.
When you spend your Christmas in the warmth of your home with your families and loved ones, remember this: There are people similar to you, sharing the same heritage and culture, with similar mindset, interests and behavioral mores who, unlike you, had the misfortune of living right next to spiteful, savage barbarians. The barbarians who hate them with every fiber of their being precisely because those people are very much like you.
As you celebrate Christmas, live your life in comfort, busy yourself with mundane tasks and make plans for the future, a person just like you, with the same interests and cultural background, who had the same plans for the future, is either going through an ordeal in Russian captivity, risking his life in the trenches, or living his life in constant fear without heating and electricity because those spiteful savages bombed everything.
Why do those people just like you have to go through all these ordeals? Because of your philistinism and insouciance. Because you continue to prioritize mundane matters over higher aims. Because you still wallow in comfort. Because you still think that a 5% increase in the price of goods is the greatest tragedy that could happen - that it is even worth considering a problem. While you fret over the economy, the cost of living, your material comfort, people just like you suffer barbaric torture, lose their loved ones, have their residential areas, hospitals, kindergartens bombed by spiteful barbarians.
You complain about prices in the supermarkets? Those other people just like you are being bombed while shopping in the supermarkets. You complain about the price of housing? Those other people just like you have their houses destroyed.
What is more, those other people just like you endure all these ordeals so that you don’t have to! Because make no mistake: those spiteful barbarians would also commit the same crimes against you and your loved ones if they could. If they could run over those other people just like you, they would come for you. For you personally. And none of your pleas would help. You could say all you want that you don’t care about politics, that you just want to do your job and live your life, but none of this will matter. Because those barbarians hate you, and those other people just like you, precisely for these things - they hate you for your prosperity, comfort, beauty and sophistication. And they will inflict the same ordeals on you and your loved ones.
Therefore, when you celebrate Christmas in comfort, remember that there is currently only one thing worth striving for. There is only one thing to be bothered with that trumps everything else in our lives. It is the destruction of Russia - that eternal den of filth from which the spiteful barbarians emerge. Then, and only then, you will be entitled to a peaceful, prosperous and comfortable life. Only when those other people just like you do not have to face those spiteful barbarians anymore will you deserve your happiness and comfort. Then, and only then, you can allow yourself to fret about mundane matters like the price of groceries, gasoline or housing.
What value does improving civilian infrastructure have, when all that can be destroyed by the spiteful barbarians in an instant? What value do our scientific advancements possess, like curing cancer and Alzheimer’s, leaps in AI & robotics etc., if people just like us who could have participated in these achievements are being killed and tortured by spiteful barbarians? When all that advancement could be destroyed by those barbarians and knowledge could be lost.
Everything else is secondary, even tertiary and quaternary. The annihilation of those barbarians is primary. This, and only this, should be the sole aim that animates every single one of us. This is the only thing worth striving for in this time and age. This should be what imbues us with meaning and purpose in life. This noble goal should be felt by every fiber of our being, it should be felt in our bones.
To paraphrase a popular saying: You were born too late to explore the world. You were born too early to explore the stars. But you were born just in time to destroy Russia.
Whatever you do in your lives never lose sight of the fact that Russia must be destroyed. Demilitarized, denuclearized, and disintegrated into dozens of independent states, each with its own unique national/regional identity that disavows the “Russian” past. Then, and only then, could we live our lives with clean conscience and be entitled to care about something else. Currently Ukrainians, those other people just like us, are our sole conscience. Their fate and sacrifice is what should stir our souls.
Russia must be destroyed. Whatever it takes. Rusia delenda est.
What a bunch of hateful bullshit.
Ukrainians had many chances to avoid war, and chose it at every opportunity.
Zelenskyy was elected on a mandate to pursue neutrality and enact Minsk, he chose to do neither.
Naftali Bennet brokered a peace agreement in 2022, ready to sign. Boko and Ze quashed the deal, dooming a Million Ukrainians and the future of the nation.
That's a good article. But it will not work.
Recently ein gewisser Herr Ischinger has said, that "Europe is safe, while Ukraine is at war." So nice, it means that Europeans can continue to drink, inject drugs, fuck each other in the ass, kiss the feet of black "refugees" and Levantine terrorists, fight "global warming" (but certainly not the pollution of their great economic partners, China and India), and buy resources from Russia and industrial goods from China, thereby increasing their ability to continue and expand the war. Maybe Ukrainians should just stop dying for those who don't care about them? "Your blood, our bullets" - is not good enough, especially when there are even not enough bullets, because "if we will spend more money on weapons, how can we support our dear "Goldstücke" from Sham, Palestine and another "oppressed" Arabian countries"?
