dduane:jackhawksmoor:twitblr:This too shall pass (x) this has a very subtle “isn’t the west racist so you should sympathize with them less, the Ukrainians are less sympathetic because they’re benefiting from racism” message. Not openly stated…but you felt a bit less charitable and positive towards Europe and Ukrainians when you read it, didn’t you? That’s not an accident.here’s the rest of the post with a partial list of Russian propaganda tactics currently being used:https://eowyntheavenger.tumblr.com/post/678364924203941888/ive-been-really-frustrated-to-see-people-i-wasthis kind of stuff is not being posted/tweeted/passed around out of CONCERN for other groups of refugees. This stuff is being pushed specifically by Russia to get people to care LESS about THESE refugees. Look at the tweet. “Begrudge” is a really good word, isn’t it? It’s unusual, it sticks in your mind. “I don’t begrudge them” sort of implies a lot of people do, doesn’t it? Or even that maybe some people should. How interesting. This. …Some of these old games go WAY back. :/(Also, as a mildly interesting linguistic side note: colloquial Irish has a specific word for the local form of this: “begrudgery.” [Though the precise Irish-usage definition is a little more nuanced. Normally it indicates a reluctance or refusal to acknowledge someone’s accomplishments, because that person just might be thinking those accomplishments make them somehow better than you / than Average People.]) -- source link
