On political correctness

Julia Navalna writes:
Finally, we find those who speak of the urgent need to „decolonise“ Russia. Our country, which is too big, supposedly needs to be divided into a couple of dozen small and safe states. It is true that the „decolonisers“ cannot explain why it is necessary to artificially separate people with a common origin and cultural context.
And they don't say at all how it should happen.
Excellent reply from Dzmitry Hurnievich:
“About the overall context. One of Siberia's oldest peoples are the Tubals. There are less than 2,000 of them left.
In the USSR, they were forbidden to speak their own language and had to speak Russian. To avoid forgetting their mother tongue, they would hide in the forest and speak it.
And now they are still struggling with the obstacles to teaching their mother tongue in schools. They publish dictionaries and books on the basics themselves. They are litigating over gold mining, because it degrades the ecology of the region. Their main social organisation has been declared a „foreign agent“. That is the general context. - concludes Dzmitry.
It would be enough for Lithuania not to support these pseudo-oppositionists, because I do not expect our media to start raising questions about possible money laundering. The Navalnists worked for half a year with their botoferm in Vilnius to get Facebook to delete the research I did. Nobody will start looking into how the Russian oligarchs are trying to influence Lithuania and Europe through these “good guys”.
You can also read about the persecution of the Lithuanian community and its leader in Königsberg. The full series of texts is available on the LRT portal.
We need to stop pretending, because now it seems that the affairs of some imperial boyarins from Mockva are more important than ours.
Khodorkovsky is an oligarch chauvinist who does not want freedom for the peoples of Russia. I have argued this in many of my texts.
The Navalists are imperialists in the garb of democracy who do not want freedom for the peoples of Russia. All the karamurzos and yashins have turned out the same.
Their media are repentant and want to help the “našym malchikam”; while all the Latins explain that Zelensky wants to continue the war because he knows he will lose the elections; all the Russian rappers in Lithuania collect aid for the poor people of Kursk, but they have never been concerned about Ukraine's freedom.
Is it enough to say with the eyes of a cat: “I'm against Putin... can I do whatever I want?”
We have put political hedonists on the pedestals of peace and democracy, whose greatest deeds are their statements, and whose real deeds are “do you want to topple Putin? Go vote in the Russian presidential elections!”
When will we stop fiddling and start telling it like it is? Why the ambiguity and the slippery judgments?.
I am well aware that politics is a constant attempt to sit on two chairs and to find balance, to compromise, but we need to understand one simple truth that is so sorely lacking.
There are times when you have to stick to one colour, there are only two: black and white. And there are no shades of grey.
... because the environment has become binary. Now there is only Life and Death.
Will we once again leave an empire of death at the doorstep of future generations?
