Please be safe, and stay connected everyone
3 years ago
I know nothing about the geopolitics between Russia, China, and Ukraine.
But in my hearts of hearts, I hope that the people of Ukraine will be safe and like a young teenager learning to be an adult, assert their independence and have the leaders be willing to come to the table and actually talk things out like adults.
And to the Russian protesters, I fear for their lives and hope they are safe. It’s admirable and beautiful that there is a protest at all, that the Russian leadership hasn’t killed off your morals and spirit. And it’s what is needed in a very urgent time in our lives. I only urge those who choose to protest actually have a plan and goal, to use their heads more than their emotions. If you are not a fighter, if people want to silence you…. write, write a letter to a friend abroad or overseas, make art, make graffiti, sing, post a YouTube or TikTok video, whatever so long as you don’t get caught. It does no one any good for a good person to get arrested.
Please support one another, especially in hard times. Make sure to keep each other warm and fed as needed.
Please stay connected, please stay in communication with one another, reach out to someone who you never got a chance to talk to, especially in a world that tries to tear us apart. Please be strong, please get stronger and be smart on your feet. We live in a world where some people want to go to war because there is an unhappiness inside some people, and so much is hurt, so much is lost. But it is with sincerest hope that we can wage peace, to fight for peace, and have a plan for how that peace can be accomplished.
There are Chinese people in China who also protest against the war, but they are even smaller in number. Those who protest are then punished as well.
Back then, there were non violent protests in Russia during the Cold War, and unfortunately even back then Soviet Russia are not kind to protesters:

Like, come on seriously, at least the US at least attempts to rehabilitate the protesters they do arrest (most of the time, the US is still a work in progress).

God forbid that everything turns into a dream without consequences. For all of us.
