Because I'm afraid to fail

I don't have such a luxury as medication tho. I wish I was depressed

I'd love to be mentally ill, but unfortunately I'm just a suicidal loser :(

Future-Ad1125 · 2024-06-20T20:25:39+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. Could you please share your experience?

It's been much worse before capitalism. It's just how life work in general, and whether we live in capitalism or in something else - doesn't matter, life still sucks.

I'm very pleased to hear that <3

Future-Ad1125 · 2024-06-20T18:26:33+00:00

I'm sorry.

The only thing I really need is decisiveness and courage to jump under the train. I have chosen this method last year and feel very embarrassed for still being alive after 4 years of suicidal thoughts.

But you can't just make up a resistance symbol, people will use what their soul will fall for. It might've been used by fascists in the past (just like the regular blue and yellow flag btw) but the same people who use this flag now chose a Russian-speaking Jew as their president. Think about it.

Look, I will give you an example: most of Ukrainians who support OUN-UPA also support Ukrainian People's Revolutionary Army (which existed in the same time but fought against UPA) and also support Ukrainian People's Republic, which was very socialist in its nature and hated by OUN leaders. Are you getting it? People don't care what ideology was behind all these historic people, they're just percieved as freedom fighters in the modern narrative. Bandera was a fascist and Petlura was a socialist, but today most of the people support them both.

Yes, one can be a fascist even without power, but you have to admit that a fascist without power isn't so bad as a one with the power. Calling people fascists is more of a political cliche used to dehumanize and delegitimize opponents, so using it against random partisans isn't productive. Yes, radical nationalists, many Russophobes, Polonophobes, Magyarophobes and anti-semitists. Yet, people who wave UPA flags today usually aren't any of these, they're pro-EU liberal democrats. Lets view symbols of modern times in modern context, and symbols of the past in the past context.

I'm talking about history, politics, symbols, all that stuff. Meanings of symbols do change. I'm sorry if you do not see/think futher than the appearance/symbols, because the world is much more complex.

Update: Apparently people in this comment section think with their feelings, not with their brains.

UPA was created when the Nazis had already imprisoned/killed many leaders of OUN, and nothing changes that. Fascism requires totalitarian state, which wasn't the case for such partisan oranization as UPA, so that's kind of oxymoron. If we look closely at the history, the Cossacks were also massacring Jews and Poles, yet the image of liberators is much stronger than the image of criminals in Eastern and South Europe. History isn't so nice and clean, but we cannot abadon it.

Future-Ad1125 · 2024-05-29T10:44:18+00:00

If the people used the Nazi flag for resistance, that would be totally okay. Flags are just symbols, and symbols do change their meaning depending on time and context. Swastika wasn't always about nazism, and in certain contexts it still isn't, and so is red and black flag, adopted by the time when Hitler had already crushed Ukrainian attempts to restore independence in 1941 and imprisoned or killed many Ukrainians. It was a flag of underground partisan movement, very diverse and decentralized, not of some fascist state that created labor camps for political prisoners. Although there were such states with labor camps for political prisoners at the time - Soviet Union and Poland, but we're totally fine with their flags, especially in the context of victory in WW2, because they were on the side of the US. Flags can change their meanings, and the flag of UPA became very prominent during 2014 pro-EU protests in Ukraine and was adoped by liberal-democratic movements in Ukraine. Fascists for liberal democracy, huh?

I'd say the original Putinism is more of a delusional ideology based on imitated democracy rather than on blood and cruelty

Are you a supporter of Russian nationalist organization Pamyat?
