saw this on reddit and uhhh would anyone like to live this life
Hi, guys!
As you may know, I am Ukrainian. I live in Kyiv. I have lived here since I was born and I love my country with my whole heart.
I see a lot of misinformation under the tag "Ukraine". Most of it comes from American people, who try to explain the conflict in their own words. They can't. It's impossible to explain if you haven't lived here. There are too many influences on this conflict. You keep looking from an american perspective, which is not crucial in understanding the conflict.
For example, have you ever had you language forbidden? Like straight up forbidden by the law? It happened to Ukrainian language a lot of times thought our history. And who did it? The Russian Empire. And it's not the end of it. The genocides, the assimilation, the deportation. Have you even researched Ukrainian history?
You do not uplift Ukrainian voices enough. And you should if you care about what's happening. If you don’t do it, you're just doing a performance of your support and activism.
Lucky for you, I am a Ukrainian person! And I am DYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. I scored 191/200 points on my graduation exam in history, so you can suppose I know something about Ukrainian history.
If you stand for Ukraine, uplift Ukrainian voices. Educate yourself. Learn Ukrainian history. Ask Ukrainian people

Campaign 3 Opening Credits
Kabul has fallen, Afghanistan is almost completely under Taliban rule now, and President Ashraf Ghani has fled. I wasn't alive during the Vietnam war, but having seen the images of Saigon at the end of it, it's impossible not to think of them when seeing the footage of Chinooks airlifting US embassy workers to Kabul airport. l cannot tell you how surreal it is to be watching the news from neighboring Pakistan, sitting next to my grandfather who has been alive for every change of government since the Brits left after the war.
History repeats and repeats and repeats, nobody learns a damn thing, and innocent civilians are the ones that suffer.
250 000 Afghans have left their homes. Many more are going to do so. And that's just the ones who flee. Those who don't will live under a conservative rule that is going to commit crimes against humanity on a daily basis, that is going to ruin the lives of generations to come.
The worst part is, I don't know what else there is to be done at this point. I can only pray that my country will accommodate the incoming refugees, though I fear they won't.
All I ask is that international community keep Afghanistan in their thoughts, and that everyone raises their voice against what is happening, both in terms of what the Taliban is doing, and how the actions of foreign powers led us to this point. The US, the UK, Pakistan, are all at fault, and must be held accountable

What’s your deepest kink?
Idk. I’m a romantic. So I guess committing murder together
“Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you learned it.”

Plot wise:
-Dema has Tyler (may or may not have Josh, if Josh is real at all. Choker would imply they have Josh, but if they had him they would probably want to show him off, not call him a “moron”)
-They try and show off their toy (presumably to make some money) but the Banditos crash the concert
-The Banditos are unsuccessful in their rescue attempt but they plant the seeds of yellow
-c!Tyler seems to have lost hope for himself- seems to be trying to help us?
Other details:
- The Bishops can look human but don’t always (implied that it’s more likely to fail if they’re injured or upset). They do not always look like old men.
- Sally = Sacarver? Can’t remember if the man was referred to by a name but he’s probably Lisden
- bishops eat people
- Red alarm
- The bishops aren’t just blind to yellow it incapacitates them
- c!Tyler isn’t totally brainwashed and he still remembers - It’s probably mostly physical control they have over him
- At least some of the songs are genuine. Never Take It for sure, possibly Saturday and Bounce Man.
Cool things:
- Trees played just before the Banditos broke in- signalling the end of the ‘concert’?
- Tyler was really sad and depressed until the Banditos showed up, when the songs turned joyous and powerful. The scene cut to the Bishops looking feral and beat-up, and cut back to normal, but there was yellow left, including tape on the drums and dragons on Tyler’s shirt. The songs were more resigned and sorrowful after that, but has more passion in them.
- The closest to an explicitly rebel song played was Chlorine.
- Most songs were not played in full
- Lisden stated his favorite song was Mulberry Lane, which also happens to be the most explicitly Dema propaganda song on the album.
- Heavydirtysoul played with Tyler looking very pleading
- Concert closed on the lines from Choker “I know it’s over/I was born a choker/Nobody’s coming for me, coming for me” uttered by Tyler as he sits down with the Bishops again, looking utterly depressed.
