PCR test for Disinfo researchers. Ukraine will own its own victory over Ruschism. Signifier Ruschism (рашизм).
⚡️Why Disinfo researchers who fall for Covid Disinfolklore fail us.
If you’ve been persuaded Covid is a Nothin’ Burger AND you promote yerself as a Disinfo researcher/expert, then…
How can you be credible?!
You’re getting avoidably repeatedly infected by Covid because you’ve swallowed the trolls permeating humanity that Covid is harmless.
This is not a drill - you’re modelling your critical judgement (or lack thereof) AND your lack of compassion every time you enter a crowded space without an FPP3/N99.
Disinfo research isn’t something one teaches others, while falling for trolls oneself.
Life isn’t a drill.
You’re falling for every scapegoat those ne’er do wells controlling our info space are promoting.
You’re falling for the troll, which causes you to fall ill repeatedly. There’s literally no better test today for how useful your Disinfo research is than ‘how frequently have you gotten ill since March 2020?’
Covid Disinfolklore like:
It doesn’t harm children - harms everyone.
Doesn’t transmit from children- 70% of household infections start from children.
If it doesn’t kill you, it’s fine.
If you’re infected once, keep doing it.
Nothin’ can be done - wear an FFP3.
Covid has run its course.
Omicron will be the last variant.
Herd immunity is imminent.
Lockdowns cause all ills…
It’s good to get infected cos then you get immunity to what you want to avoid being infected by… I mean, lol.
So you can assess ANY purported expert on Disinformation by how hard they have fallen for successive iterations of the Let It Rip troll afflicting humanity.
⚡️Ukraine will own its own victory over Ruschism.
Every weapon system Ukraine has rung out of reluctant western hands has been earned.
Sacrificial deaths and emotionally resonant diplomacy by Ukraine mean its victory belongs to Ukraine.
Tankies trope that the West is using Ukraine as a puppet to hit Russia is laughable - 8 years of Minsk appeasement by Germany and France (which sold 100s millions of € in arms to Russia 2015-2021) demonstrates the lie of this Ruschian propaganda trope.
Ukraine's "you've only got a few hours" partners have been so useless, it will be difficult, once immediate dependence for existence on western weaponry subsides, for Ukrainians not to be bitter.
A self-dependent Israel and Swiss-like approach to defence is Ukraine's dominant strategy, whether or not inside NATO.
It's inexplicable why US won't sell F16s to Ukraine. Inexplicable. Excuse that China will see this as escalation doesn't sound like a sound reason.
This is a bitter lesson for all of us who believed Never Again meant our states would act on their legal duty to prevent genocide.
⚡️Resurrect the signifier Ruschism (рашизм):
Timothy Snyder defined Ruschism a term that spontaneously erupted into Ukrainian consciousness after 24th Feb 2022 as: Cults of the leader & of the dead; Corporatist State; Mythical Past; Mass Murder; Censorship; Conspiracy Theories; Centralized https://www.Disinfolklore.net, & Misogyny. Ruschists MUST be discriminated against, as a matter of law.
Рашизм also signifies EVERY war crime, crime against humanity (including genocide), breach of human rights, and violation of morality executed by Ruschists in Ukraine, as well as their leadership's decoration of those who are guilty of Рашизм (as in this photo where the commander of the Ruschists in Bucha is decorated).
Ruschism is our enemy and debates over fascism are outdated and fail to acknowledge that Ukrainians get to name what they are experiencing.
Then, a year later Ukraine's Parliament defines "the characteristic signs and consequences of Ruschism (рашизму) as:
⚫️Systemic violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms;
🔵The cult of power and militarism;
🔴The cult of the person at the top of the power vertical and the sacralization of state institutions;
⚫️Self-aggrandizement of Russia and Russians at the expense of violent oppression and/or denial of the existence of other peoples;
🔵Application of the practice of spreading the Russian language and culture, the Russian Orthodox Church, the media, political and public institutions, promoting the ideas of "Russian world" ("русского мира") among other peoples for the purpose of implementing an expansionist state policy;
🔴Systematic violation of generally recognized principles and norms of international law, in particular respect for the sovereignty of other states, their territorial integrity and internationally recognized borders, non-compliance with the principle of non-use of force or the threat of force;
⚫️Creation, financing and armed support of illegal armed formations and separatist movements on the territories of other sovereign states, creation and support of terrorist organizations;
🔵The use of prohibited methods of waging war and the systematic commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity;
🔴Systematic organization and implementation of mass murders, executions, torture, deportations, creation of artificial conditions for the occurrence of hunger, other types of mass physical terror, genocide, persecution for ethnic, national, religious, political and other motives;
⚫️Regular application of the practice of economic and energy blackmail to other states;
🔵Regular threats to use nuclear weapons against other states and create man-made disasters."
On May 2nd 2023 Ukraine's Parliament also voted to
"Assert that the war unleashed against Ukraine is a direct consequence of the policy of Ruschism and it voted to recognise that the principles and policies of Ruschism pose a threat to the international legal order and security of all humanity, the modern world and democracy."

Holocaust Denial is unlawful Hate Speech in many countries. Denying Russian Aggression in Ukraine is unlawful Hate Speech in Ukraine.
"Ruschism" is a grassroots term Ukrainians started using within days of 24th Feb 2022. Now, it is defined in law.
We may not be able - morally or legally - to discriminate against Russians (including athletes) on the grounds of nationality. However, Ruschism Denial, like Holocaust Denial, is grounds for discrimination.
