Jan6th insurrectionists’ calls for elections in Ukraine; Plan for Peace; MAGA is an Operating System; Ruschian Combat Propaganda Rule No. 1: Depress Your Enemies' Emotions: Ceasefire Trolling;
⚡️Ukraine’s Plan for Peace is now enshrined in law. Those promoting a Crimea Compromise are, by definition, NOT experts. They’re unknowing Ruschist patsies. Paid hacks. Ne’er do wells. Venture Capitalists, who’ve bet on the wrong horse…
"There will be no Minsk-3...
So, the proposals of #Ukraine:
1. #Radiation and #nuclear safety.
2. #FoodSecurity.
3. Energy security.
4. Release of all #prisoners and deportees..."
5. Implementation of the #UNCharter and restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the world order.
6. Withdrawal of #Russian troops & cessation of hostilities.
7. Restoring justice.
8. #Anti-ecocide.
9. Prevention of escalation.
10. Fixing end of war.”
⚡️Jan 6th Insurrection Supporters Call for Illegal Elections During Wartime in Ukraine.
Trump was indicted for his role in defrauding Americans of their legitimate democratically elected officials. Now, Trump supporters, following Ruschist propaganda lines, want elections in the midst of war while part of its country is under unlawful, brutal, and genocidal occupation.
Even in MAGa-land "logic" this is mind-bending inconsistency.
If these foreigners want early elections in Ukraine END this war now by giving Ukraine the materiel it needs to end Ruschism. Already.
Pressure on Ukraine to hold elections while great parts of their state are occupied serves Ruschist interests:
Ruschists wish to disenfranchise Ukrainians living in occupied Ukraine, and entrench division.
MAGA by calling for elections want to seed idea that Ukraine which directly elected President Zelenskyy with 73% of the vote (and 10,000 officials from village committees up to President Z) is undemocratic.
Between 2015 and 2020 Germany & France unrelentingly pressured Ukraine to allow Ruschia hold "official" elections in Luhansk and Donetsk BEFORE Ukraine gained control over its borders.
Election security just in Luhansk and Donetsk was calculated to cost €1.5b+
Now there's a war on and pro-Ruschist interests are selling the idea Ukraine is not democratic under the guise that it must unlawfully change its constitution (it's impossible for Ukraine to allow elections without compromising its constitution) during a war.
I have met hundreds of elected Ukrainian officials in now occupied Ukraine- These foreigners want to disenfranchise them?
Ruschia is holding the mayor of kherson in Ruschia and dozens of other elected officials were tortured, and murdered.
They should call for democratic elections not mere theatre in Ruschia instead.
⚡️MAGA is an Operating System.
MAGA is a platform. Any content can be injected into it. Provided the emotional resonance is such that it mobilises the 30% of any community who are high on Altemeyer's Writ Wing Authoritarian Follower psych scale. And specifically those who chart high on the Neurotic (highly paranoid) and Low Conscientious (they do their 'own' research, but inside a Disinfolklore bubble) OCEAN psych scales.
Today, MAGA is dominated by the Mana of Ruschist Disinfolklore: Abolition of the post-WWII legal order.
Counter Disinfolklore empowers us to see patterns in Disinfolklore, and to design Counter Disinfolklore. Like this.
🎭Disinfolklorists often create a Spectacle that includes us the outraged spectators - the Spectator, and their emotions, is a character in the Spectacle.
England's ruling party does this all the time: ERG, Brexit, and now it's English Nationalist Conservative Party posing as "British" Nationalists."
They hold a "conference."
This is equivalent to a TV program with a plot focussed around a character acting in a pantomime.
Those of us commentating as straight journalists, supporters, or outraged civil society are like other characters in the TV program playing scripted roles. We don't know it, but the purpose of the conference is to draw us into the whole Spectacle. We're playing the roles of "Spectators." Yet, really we're participants in a manipulated drama.
The producers of the entire Spectacle script self-declared cartoon villains who say shocking things. They enjoy their roles. Like Braverman, they're simply pantomime actors playing villains. Relishing their artistry. Trump, Johnson, Putin, chef. et al just play these roles.
This spectacle then distracts everyone from the true purpose of the entire Spectacle (conference/pantomime and critics/commentators): Distraction.
Meanwhile, the rinsing of the "Muni" in Community continues unabated and unaffected by the Spectacle which absorbs, as it’s intended to, all the critical energy in our community.
⚡️Ruschian Combat Propaganda Rule No. 1: Depress Your Enemies' Emotions.
Every communication from Trump-world is about farming the inevitability of authoritarian dictatorship inside Americans' minds.
"Manipulate" breaks down as trolling for our Mana, then altering it, so we manifest depressed emotions. We're moved to resignation - see:
Zarina Zabrisky integrates her expertise from studying Ruschian Combat Propaganda as part of her philology studies in Leningrad into EVERY report from Odesa and Kherson: listen to Russia-Ukraine War Report @MalcontentmentT.
Here (spotify.link/EfyKbAh2oDb) we understand the sight of a Kherson resident gardening while air sirens blare is an act of resistance.
It boosts her (and those who witness her shearing her hedge) mental health.
AND her defiance defeats the Ruschists' main goal of these artillery strikes:
Depressing the emotions of Ukrainians.Ruschia attempts to make its victory a self-fulfilling prophecy. By convincing its enemies to resign themselves to slavery.
Neither Americans nor Ukrainians will ever be the slaves of MAGA or Ruschia.
My fellow Americans take note: When Legacy Media promotes polls that skew Trump's true support, they're playing with our emotions. They're manipulating us. Depressing us. Trump-world uses Ruschian info-war techniques to undermine our democracy.
⚡️'Ceasefire' Trolling.
After Minsk I ceasefire in September 2014, Ruschia accepted surrender of hundreds of Ukrainian troops. Granted them safe passage. Slaughtered them in the Illovaisk Cauldron. Ukrainians aren't stupid. They're not going to fall for that troll again. 42m Ukrainians understand what an elite of International Relations professionals still don't get.
Those calling for a 'Ceasefire' expose only their own ignorance, and how easily Ruschist Disinfolklore manipulates their MANA. We can learn from this: Anyone you see calling for a 'Ceasefire' consign them into your 'they're just a tankie' mental receptacle. Such people have nothing interesting to say about Ukraine. Nothing. They're the know-nothings who failed to predict this genocide. Consider whatever they say with the same seriousness as when Medvedyev threatens nuclear war, or Trump says anything: it's just a means of trolling your emotions, to manipulate your MANA/intentions.
Second, there is NO power on earth that will persuade Ukraine to halt what it has begun: the utter destruction of Ruschia's force potential. So that Ruschia will not threaten Ukraine meaningfully for decades. A century. This is what Ukraine is doing.
Ruschia has been trying to freeze this war since early March 2022. That is Ruschia's theory of victory. ALL their hope is in madcap plans. It will NEVER happen. Plan accordingly.
Those promoting this 'Ceasefire' troll have a Ruschia propaganda induced exaggerated understanding of their own power.
Ukraine wasn't given long-range weapons. So it sunk the Moscva with its indiginously developed Neptune.
Ukraine destroyed the Kerch Bridge in its own indigenous operation. Western powers can't stop Ruschist Wanger Nazis in Africa- Ukraine has now taken the war to Mali and to Sudan. Ukraine provoked a coup in Ruschia. Ukraine has left the way open for China to take Boli (Khabarovsk). Ukraine has dispatched Strelkov into a Ruschist prison. Ukraine destroys Ruschist war planes in Ruschia using its own cardboard drones...
Do these tankie 'Peaceniks' not see the pattern?
No country not America, England, France or Germany has the power to stop Ukraine. Plan accordingly. Get on board or get out of the way.
Listen to experts like me who spent seven years in eastern Ukraine trying to make Minsk I and Minsk II work. Minsk III ended with the Chef's supposed death. There will not be a Minsk IV no matter how often Westerners repeat Ruschist talking points asking for a freezing of the war.
No Trump second presidency (which won't happen because Trump is facing hundreds of years in prison) or change in ANY western country will prevent Ukraine from persisting.
Help Ukraine now and your country has a friend forever. Hinder Ukraine now, or sit this one out, and when you get invaded, you'll be all alone: Hungary, India, Iran, China, take note.
@TheEconomist is promoting Ruschist Disinfolklore with its call for a rethink.
Exposing its naïveté and susceptibility to those in England's Foreign Office who still don't understand Ukraine.
Mark Galleotti and Guardian's Wintour too and oodles of other Talking Heads dining out on Ukraine (but who see Ukraine through Ruschist imperialist spectacles) are fellow travellers with this Resignation 'Ceasefire' trolling.
They are 100% trapped inside a Ruschist imperial mindset.
They Concern Troll us with faux understanding of Ukraine and geopolitics.
Noises off.
There is though one positive aspect of promoting the 'Ceasefire' troll.
They feed Ruschia's madcap hope that it can win this war.
And so Ruschia expends more resources on its hopeless attempt to get a frozen conflict.
The worst thing Ruschia could have done was end its invasion before now - Now every day it spends in Ukraine adds a year to the amount of time it will take for Ruschia to be a credible threat to Ukraine again.
All Ruschia's hope is in a Ceasefire. And because of that, it will never happen. Ukraine will not let it happen. Ever.
