“Keep politics out of art” originally meant that political forces shouldn’t be able to punish artists for self-expression, and that politics shouldn’t pressure artists into serving political propaganda. Now, it means “Pls go away with your problems; you’re ruining my mood.”

On days like this, I feel very tired of disproving myths about Ukrainian art (sometimes not just for foreigners, but also for Ukrainians). So, I decided to make short answers for wrong but common statements about 🇺🇦 art 🧵 "Saturday," Oleksandr Murashko (1875-1919)

The psychological effects of spreading vicious lies about victims is an under-recognized aspect of this warfare. I am so sorry to everyone else who has experienced this, especially Syrians

This time, Russia’s mass missile attack is deliberately targeting residential areas, not even our energy infrastructure. War criminal Putin “celebrates” New Year by killing people. Russia must be kicked out of its UN Security Council seat which it has always occupied illegally.

The problem with "not all Russians" is not that the statement is false, but that this framing denies the structural component of Russian supremacism. Like racism or sexism, Russian supremacism is systemic and institutional. It is not a problem of only Putin or a "few bad apples"

“An eye for an eye will make the world blind” in conversation where Ukrainians just asking people to stop loudly simping for russians until at least this war ends

Skipping public apologies, using words like “separatists”, making insensitive statements about Ukraine’s air defense without aligning with Ukraine’s intel, talking about Ukraine’s casualties without its military’s permission - is bad wartime communication for Europe.

Russian youth often uses pop psychology like the ultimate shield from criticism. When self-help says “You pain is also valid”, “Put yourself first” etc. - it’s about interpersonal relationships and personal growth. Not for when your country is committing genocide.

Russia is a weak economy with a criminal society, supremacist mentality, perverse history knowledge and a broken, unfixable statehood. It’s rapidly regressing. It’s going down and it’ll take along everyone who’s trying to save it.

“But you’re an artists and you LEARNED by looking at other art, right?” No, and that’s a pretty naive way to look at AI Art. Ultimately, companies are stealing images that we own the copyright to, and feeding it into something that’s trying to replace us. Artists have a right

The best way to support democracy today is to support Ukraine with adequate military aid. “Ukraine shouldn’t win too much as it would upset the world order” is a harmful atavism of “realpolitik” in a world where the only “real” thing is bad actors lobbying for more power.

It’s a mental exercise to deal with people, who think that a country being gradually cut off from power is about inconveniences of not being able to charge your gadgets. No. Russia is depriving people of healthcare, food, clean water, heating. It’s terrorism.

This is how the aggressor state 🇷🇺 carries out air-to-surface & surface-to-surface missile attacks on 🇺🇦territory. Situation as of 10:20-11:00. Enemy used air-,sea- & land based missiles; ballistic missiles; surface-to-air missiles; reconnaissance & attack UAVs of Shahed-136 type

Нас бомблять росіяни. Не орки,не рашисти. А росіяни. Називайте речі своїми іменами Росіяни, які вводять координати для ракет, росіяни, які пишуть новини, що то ваєнний об‘єкт, росіяни, які пишуть коменти: так їм і нада, росіяни, які в інших країнах нападають на українців. Росіяни

“We will support Ukraine for however long it takes” - can supporters of Ukraine please ditch this phrase already? Every problem named as a reason not to arm Ukraine adequately and immediately is 100% promptly solvable with enough politician will.

No, Putin was not “provoked” to unleash missile terror by “Crimea Bridge”. Russia had been constantly hitting Ukraine with missiles before the bridge, too. Putin is desperate because of battlefield defeats and uses missile terror to try to change the pace of war in his favor 1/2

Notice, these missle strikes all over central Kyiv now were at about 8:30am, exactly peak commuter time. All kids going to school, families on streets, people going to work.

.@ZelenskyyUa Ukraine never wanted this war. Ukraine did nothing to provoke it. We are dealing with a state that does not want peace. With a terrorist state.

Putin accuses Ukraine of terrorism? Sounds too cynical even for Russia. Less than 24 hours ago ru-planes hit residential area of Zaporizhzhia with 12 missiles, killing 13 people and injuring more than 50. There is only one terrorist state here and the whole world knows who it is.
