I would just like to interject that this is quite possibly my favourite social media “spat” I have ever had the joy to read
Thank you to all contributors

You do know what happens to those that disagree with putin? If putin disagreed with these statements Gubarev would be choosing window or tea

Wow, that’s some impressive mental gymnastics you’re doing there.
Tell me, how does it feel to support a dictator who wants to wipe another country off the map? Do you sleep well at night?

I was wondering the same thing

@thenerve.news is a new source from reputable journalists
I think this is something we should all support

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

So which bit of “in whole or in part, a national” are they struggling with?
The quality of pro ruzzians is really dropping these days

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 1d

Have you read his “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians” where he effectively argues that Ukraine should not exist as a nation separate from ruzzia?

There is no panic!

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

You’re willingly not getting my point. But that’s fine. You do you

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

So are we calling it trumping now (which means farting in the UK)?

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

You’re handing Farage more ammo, but time for me to stop on this. I never felt strongly about Brexit either way and still don’t.
I do feel strongly about Ukraine, so will get back to that topic now

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

I agree it has been the scapegoat

2 1

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

We’ll have to agree to disagree. I guess it depends on your background/ where you grew up.
I really don’t want to rehash it, it simply plays into Farage’s hands

1

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

So the polls still show a big divide. This would be so exploited by Farage and his gang, the last thing I want now is a referendum. I really think we have to deal with the issue at hand which is the lurch to the far right. This has to be addressed before the next GE. A referendum would not help

1

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

I never said they were. But a lot of people felt the EU wasn’t helping them either. You really have to listen. Not listening last time there was a referendum is why Remain lost.
It also why the Democrats lost in America.
Virtue signalling is not what changes opinions

I agree vatniks love it
But don’t think it is just them. If you do you walk into the same trap the Remain campaign did last time

Controversial Gaza activist called "Mr. FAFO" due to his performative antics and well known for his support of Hamas and raising an estimated $10 million to build a children's hospital, only to pocket the money, Saleh Al-Jafarawi, was killed today by unknown assailants, possibly by Doghmosh clan

Tbf he brought joy to a lot of us- I laughed a lot the last time he was “killed” and they carried on filming so we all saw him rise like a phoenix from the ashes 🤣

The legal term “genocide” refers to certain acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. So keep trying but you are wrong

The copium is strong!

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

And sorry but I think you are dismissing problems people had by saying Brexit was down to ruzzia. I’m sure they took advantage of a situation, but the problems were there. It was the successive failure to address them that was at the core of the vote

2 2

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

I would like to see a poll that has Rejoin rather than Remain as the option, given Remain isn’t actually an option

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 2d

Forget the Brexit part - you are living in a bubble if you don’t realise that half the country did vote for it and would have regardless
I know this because I grew up with a whole community talking about it for 20 plus years before the vote

Rej @rejfella.bsky.social · 3d

I see nothing suspicious. In a democracy it is acceptable to criticise your government. There is nothing anti Ukraine or pro ruzzia on there
