Attaching in the tweet below a very outdated and incomplete list of things I've been recently called by Ukraine's "supporters"🇺🇦
honestly the past few months have really shattered my belief in humanity. I'm grateful for the people I've met on twitter who know what is right but the betrayal I've felt from hearing people I trusted talk about Ukraine with contempt has irrevocably changed how I view the world

1/ Incomplete list of things I've been recently called by Ukraine's "supporters"🇺🇦
— Link
✅ crypto bro
✅ disaster capitalist profiting off other people's misfortune
✅ playing victim
✅ ignorant fucking goblin
✅ slut
✅ idiot (∞)
✅ morally bankrupt
✅ need to apologize
...
Here's what happened in a "OSINT" space whose hosts claim to be supportive of 🇺🇦. Note how at no point that person is removed, interrupted or even just told that what they were saying was inappropriate. Instead of apologising, the hosts then started to harassing me themselves.
1/ Expectations for a Ukrainian: Apologise to russians.

This conversation happened in Twitter Spaces a couple days ago in front of 400 people. Sharing so it's easier to understand what I have to deal with every other day.

"How to not lose your shit when someone is shouting at you 101"
When I speak in various Twitter Spaces, there's often someone shouting at me within the first few minutes. I know what I'm talking about so I can speak confidently without having to scream. If you can't be more composed than me, your hurt feelings are not going to affect me. https://t.co/Fz5vmJxzua

Why I don't ignore always this (btw, most of the time I do ignore):
65/ I'm told to ignore this all the time. I can't ignore something I have to deal with every single day. It's not a one-off incident, this patronising imperialist attitude is everywhere. It's like "Be grateful that we are supporting Ukraine and shut up". Who is supported exactly? https://t.co/yjrscDZQOy
— Link
Western arrogance ignoring Ukrainian voices:
This is something I deal with every day. Look at the arrogance here: "🇺🇦 voices... write and speak with the bias of those who are being oppressed and invaded." @AdrianBonenber1 even has that 🧵pinned

russophobia = holiding russians accountable. In that sense, everyone should be "russophobic".
35/ Every other day I'm shouted at publicly, told that I have a horrible attitude, and that I should be ashamed of the radical things I say. My radical "russophobia" means holding russians accountable to the same standard as others would be. On an individual level. Wild idea 🤯

Before you have a go at a Ukrainian person, make sure you gave the same energy to the person abusing them.
Also - don't have a go at the Ukrainian person. Just don't.
@leslibader @sellieyoung @planet_stoopid @NanTyrus @soappman @CarolynHodgman @CajunBlueAZ1 @Jr3597 @bonesknight @CECILIESTURICH @perrigracet @BrokenDaffodil @tiinakatariina @lmv6719 @greyeyess33 @789Bigsky @GranShinobi @blackdogday22 @MindfulWebz 1) One really doesn't need to discuss hypotheticals.
— Link
2) I didn't hear people there giving the same energy to the dude who shouted at me for an hour calling me a morally bankrupt idiot, hypocrite, genocide supporter and demanded apologies from me. No one even told him off. https://t.co/GSX1lYVnFZ
Some people mistakenly took this as me disparaging WR which wasn't the intention behind this 🧵 at all.
Walter is Ukrainian, he works a lot and he isn't always there to step in.
The behaviour of @OSINT88 who is yet to apologise is what I had a problem with.
1/ A few people have asked me what happened today, so I'd like to explain. There was a conversation happening in @walter_report Twitter Spaces about @Reuters.
— Link
Both me and @gujingc started our comments from saying that we are aware that not all @Reuters journalists are corrupt. https://t.co/oR2xbQe3XG
Thank you 💙💛

The reason I highlight the standards that Ukrainians are held to & the abuse bullies get away with, is this:
⚡️My experience is basically the experience of Ukraine as a country on a miniature scale.
⚡️Ukraine's power terrifies many countries more than 🇷🇺 terror https://t.co/6VXN3ysfsR
It's a great question! @MuKappa, myself and the rest of our team are being targeted for a few reasons:
— Link
1) I don't like to be reduced to a "miserable victim" which is the only type of person that many "Ukraine's supporters" are prepared to face
2) We don't take shit from anyone https://t.co/hKY5DYWdOu
@StephenKolanko1, "Protector of Ukraine", lol
7 (?)/ This 🧵 has a very incomplete list of people sending me abuse.

@StephenKolanko1 for example thinks I should be grateful for not being in a filtration camp.
"Protector of Ukraine" my ass https://t.co/Co9RP6utqO https://t.co/dYDMdLCpqg
@HansWorldTravls / @UkrainesGrains spends day and night writing nonsense articles about me in his blog hanshyde.com: Hans Hyde
- BTW, an "energy specialist" should know - loss is only realised when assets are sold for a price lower than the purchase price:)

BTW, Ukraine DAO doesn't "make" or "lose" any funds because the transactions are sent to the recipients - @BackAndAlive, @Ukraine, @OutRightIntl etc in crypto, without converting them to fiat first.

To answer Hans's question, here's our last successfully completed fundraiser - it started on 15 June 2022 🙃

✨ Apologies and here is an easy way to help @Ukraine_DAO team member @djw155 who's selflessly providing incredible amount of support to 🇺🇦 refugees.

1/ I'm turning into some sort of controversial person for saying the obvious things.
— Link
In the morning I was "unprofessional" for telling a troll, who wouldn't shut up in someone's Twitter Spaces for ages, to fuck off.
Now I'm a "cyber bully" for not tolerating being yelled at.
DARVO - en.wikipedia.org: DARVO - Wikipedia
3) If someone is comfortable repeatedly sending me abuse or harassing me and my team in public, they shouldn't cry when their "achievements" are highlighted by us.
— Link
4) They're always shocked and love to call me (!) an abuser - DARVO technique, look it up. https://t.co/IteO1jsLd9
7/ There's definitely a pattern of me being publicly belittled, patronised and called names and then many self-righteous lovers of "fairness" accuse me of "finger pointing" & "fucking drama dependent twitter personality". No energy is spent calling out the actual abuser. https://t.co/lkGZxv9Wjm
— Link
66/ ⚡️The person whose nation is suffering may know about the abuser more than those who are still safe ⚡️

@HansWorldTravls @UkrainesGrains xoxo
36/ Thank you for giving consent to me disclosing the DMs, here they are. This was after repeated abuse when @Ukrainesgrains / @HansWorldTrav tried joining mental health support spaces I was co-hosting. This is what he calls "100% pro-Ukraine" 🤣 https://t.co/pjpvQMl5cg https://t.co/VjX3tEvM8v
