You guys still didn’t get it. It’s not a choice between supporting or not supporting Ukraine.
It’s a choice between fighting Russia yourself or with money. And it’s not indefinite, if Ukraine loses you will have to fight.
Not because you want to. But because there’s only one kind of invitation you cannot say no to: “let’s go outside”.
France is smart: they are already discussing reinstating general military service. They are preparing. You should too. 1/2

Excellent piece by the wonderful Mona Eltahawy
Some TL:DR quotes:
"This isn’t a “whose flavour of patriarchy is worse” letter. This is a “fuck the patriarchy everywhere” grenade that I gift to you. This is not The Handmaid’s Tale, it’s real life. This is a wake the fuck up because clearly you’ve been drifting, cruising on the delusions that your whiteness will save you from white supremacist patriarchy."
"The patriarchy atop theocracy melange of Iran’s “morality police” is easier to see because it is so visibly expressed in enforced hijab. But what is the enforced pregnancy of the Christian zealots in the U.S. but a melange of patriarchy built atop theocracy right here?"
"Fuck theocracy everywhere.
Fuck fascism everywhere.
Fuck the patriarchy in every time zone and every universe.
Burn. Shit. Down."
