A bit of a tangent but just today I watched a short about the history of what British colonialist did to the Hijra in India.
Basically they went over there and went “more than two genders? THAT’S ILLEGAL.”
Yet nowadays we have transphobes always reciting how it’s somehow a woke new thing to not have the sexual sensibilities of a Victorian British person.

What’s the point?
“You better believe we have weapons you can’t defend from, like, at all! We could totally take on NATO, easily. So like, don’t, like, even think about helping Ukraine any more!”
Russia (and/or the Soviet Union) has been doing variations of that to Finland since WWII.
That’s basically why it took us so fucking long to join NATO, because the argument used to be “uuuh, we can’t afford to piss off Russia!”
But since they obviously don’t care about their own capacity for war and invaded Ukraine, we thought, “fuck it, why not”.
So Russia used to have a bit of a buffer with Finland but since we joined, Putler is having even more heatenings.
Thus this sort of saber rattling.
Seeing as we’re on .ml I wouldn’t be surprised if Davel or Dessalines or one of the others just deletes this as some sort of anti-Russian discrimination and bans me.
Oh and just to remind Vanja. Don’t try to come over our Eastern border. #(Unless you’re alone and escaping Putlerism, but you should do that before the remining is done.)*
The Way is Shut!
