"Just yesterday, someone told me to speak less about the war. They said Germans are tired of it. But last night, Russian #drones flew over #Munich airport.
So I ask you: do you think today it is acceptable to talk about the war?
In #Ukraine, there were thousands of #women who were smarter, more talented, and better than me. They should stand on this stage today. But #Russia killed them. Some are now in captivity..."

Dont ever stop telling the inconvenient truths.
@benroyce Can’t speak for the rest of the Germans, but I’m not tired of hearing about or speaking of war. Never will be. #SlavaUkraini
@benroyce we don‘t know YET if those were russian drones - stop spreading fear & fake news
@random_industries@mastodon.social @benroyce@mastodon.social There's reasonable doubt, and there's willful denial.
Yes.
And then there is also Margarita Simonyan's voice of Russia Today (RT).
I have the unpleasant suspicion that it is that voice which says there were no drones at all (yes, I have seen such claims; maybe so have you).
There's being careful
Then there's impotency
You're being willfully ignorant
Because you don't want to accept the obvious
What does weak fear lead to, friend?
But hey
Don't argue with me
Argue with #Merz:
'German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said ahead of the summit that airspace incursions were getting worse and that it was "reasonable to assume the #drones are coming from #Russia".'
@random_industries I like how the panic and fear addled fool accuses me of "panic activism" then blocks me
ah sweet sweet projection
@benroyce @random_industries They were the easiest block I've done in a while.
@benroyce whatever, dude - do yr panik activism sonehere else - why is mastadon even recommending yr channel to me ? = blocked
@benroyce I personally hate that people act as if young conscripted people from Germany could have a break against Ruzzia. I went to France recently. The army there advertises “L’armé du monde” and shows at lot of “brothers united in the army” images. Germans older people do not want to clean up the mess they caused. Like selling their homes to millionaires or making jobs worthless. We have so many problems. However: Germany should fund Ukraine more. Germans got “too quickly” tired of covid.
@benroyce So they are getting too quickly tired of war “somewhere else”. Covid “broke so many people’s mind”. And most fell for Ruzzian propaganda, which would harm Germany more.
@benroyce It takes some gall to come to your mentions to tell you what you should or shouldn't talk about.
If someone did that to me, they would have gotten instantly blocked. Don't want to read what I post? Fine. Go away.
adequacy trolls
they assume the air of someone who can dictate to you what is adequate to talk about or not
making believe they have authority over your behavior, pure condescending patronization, acting as if you're a child who has to be lectured on what is appropriate and inappropriate
well...
i find them kind of funny
don't let them anger you. condescend right back to them and make them angry
but you have to be a demented sort like me who enjoys mocking trolls
@benroyce Oh, they don't anger me. I just give them what they want: not reading my stuff. ;)
"...Before the full invasion, I was just a civilian social worker. I never thought I would be a soldier. But I had to go and fight.
All I want is that German psychologists, teachers, and lawyers never have to go to the army. Never die in #war.
For this, please support #Ukraine now.

@benroyce I don't understand Europeans that are tired of a war they have not been yet engaged in openly. I am tired of Russia though.
