it seems to me that not many know that navalny is an avowed nationalist & racist and not just a blonde guy who likes to gently kiss his blonde wife before going to jail and watches “rick & morty”. so here’s a little thread and some of it is pretty personal.

 here is navalny’s 2007 video. “a tooth without a root is called “dead”. a nationalist is someone who doesn’t want the russian root to be removed from the word “russia”. we have the right to be russian in russia, and we will defend it.”
i downloaded it to make sure it won’t disappear but it is still shared by navalny’s official youtube channel. btw, in this video, navalny is introduced in the caption as a “certified nationalist”.
https://t.co/OK2Kq5nkkV
here is another video navalny is not keen to share anymore, in which he compares muslims to cockroaches and flies and recommends shooting them with guns if swatters and shoes fail
https://t.co/xf0yDtA4s5
here is a 2011 interview with navalny where he explains why he goes to the so-called “russian march”, a yearly nationalist gathering, and why he thinks it’s ok to collaborate with nazis
https://t.co/Y3PYscWlZM
you can read about the “russian marches”, what they convey and who participates here https://t.co/truFf8oivF
russian marches are an especially hot topic today because it’s the 11th anniversary of the murder of antifascists stanislav markelov & anastasia baburova at the hands of neo-nazis in russia (i have not found any mentions of that murder by navalny)
the man who masterminded markelov/baburova murder (and other ones) ilya goryachev, marched in the russian marches the very same years when navalny did. here’s some stuff about him
https://t.co/LiUpFIp57B
eventually, navalny stopped going to “russian marches”. so did goryachev, because he’s serving life in prison now. but there have not been indications that navalny is willing to denounce his views
here is a link to navalny’s website with a bunch of materials about migration. “if europe has an “orgy of tolerance” towards islamists, in russia it’s the sodom & gomorrah of lies, hypocrisy, corruption & direct encouragement of aggressive islamism”
https://t.co/ExnwmBlRUS
abstract him from russia & you’ll get a vile picture. if navalny lived in the us, he would be against immigrants form mexico & guatemala. if he lived in france, he’d rant against algerians & the congolese.
and now for some personal stuff. when navalny was running for mayor of moscow in 2013 i visited his campaign office and right then and there they were teaching their volunteers to deflect on questions about his nationalism
the coach, a man whose name i forgot but could find, said navalny’s nationalism doesn’t matter, and then went on a tirade about the need to see “faces like my own” on the streets of moscow, instead of people of other races
i’m a mutt (russian/greek/jewish/ukrainian) as many reading this know, and this was so cravenly and gross that i burst out crying then and there. honestly, anyone who isn’t a monster would be angered. i should have done smth else but i was flabberghasted and unprepared for it
i feel like a conscious effort has been done in the following years to whitewash navalny’s reputation, especially as he realized that socialism is trendy & decided to go after a younger audience who have progressive views on ethnicity, but it was superficial
i recently started searching his profile for nasty stuff & i bet he wiped a whole lot, but still found some gems.
https://t.co/fxFFUVT37u
navalny is very concerned with migrants, but he can accept them if they buy a metro ticket for 2 rides
https://t.co/fdFRypkgTF
navalny’s campaign “stop feeding the caucasus” is aimed at making sure chechnya & other north caucusus are “not a burden” to russia. meanwhile, navalny himself wants to live in europe 🤪
https://t.co/v3t3QPhvjc
apparently, navalny learned the tenets of his anti-muslim rhetoric at yale, where he attended a course, during debates against mosques, and he recreated them in moscow upon his return
https://t.co/x4uXpiEOpJ
and in general, navalny seems like a gross dude who makes cringey jokes about muslim people & constantly crusades against them
https://t.co/U33UaaFNV1
growing up in moscow in the 00s i have seen a lot of disgusting things done by nationalists. they beat up so many of my friends. they brutally killed people. they recruited young idiots. these were the worst years because putin’s government fully supported them.
later, putin’s govt began to crack down on various groups & using nationalist ideas for lofty ideals & imperial ideology, where street combat was not advantageous. but every once in a while horrible crimes still happened, still happen.
political repressions are bad. but most of support for navalny is just a fandom that does not center the real issues like freedom of assembly in russia, the need for a more prominent opposition but most importantly shifts the focus from what the political situation really is
moreover, engaging in the navalny narrative hyped by intelligence/tech/liberal circles does absolutely nothing for russian working class but everything for sanctions against russia & a new nationalist, racist but pro-western neo-liberal order instead of the old, anti-western one
the only way to fight against nationalism in russia is to be a communist & against all sorts of liberalism (i'll never tire of saying that liberalism invites nationalism). but even communism is marred w nationalism there so one has to know the context to be able to stay on course
politics is not just responding to the hype. please start using your own head, researching vigorously, and placing any event in context of other events. using navalny’s case to prop him up as a folk hero is very dangerous: don’t lose the plot
and if you really really need to support a political prisoner, why not pay attention to julian assange? no western politicos speak for him, and yet the man who exposed numerous imperialist war crimes is now in a covid-infested jail, facing a death penalty. #FreeAssangeNOW
@MarkSleboda1 showed a very important link to add:
"I ask him if he regrets those videos now, he’s unapologetic. He sees it as a strength that he can speak to both liberals and nationalists." 1/2

https://t.co/Oc5luV2mP1
"But comparing migrants to cockroaches? “That was artistic license,” he says. So there’s nothing at all from those videos or that period that he regrets? “No,” he says again, firmly." 2/2

https://t.co/Oc5luV2mP1
a good addition from @IlyaBayona which explains the need to whitewash navalny's nationalism: he is entangled with the us government, here seen at a meeting with Bradford bell, 1st sec of us embassy (& that's grounds for legal persecution in any country)

https://t.co/RvYwIW8Iom
and this comment from his livejournal brought in by the valiant @ValLisitsa is for my darling queer friends who support navalny: seasoned with good ole antisemitism. btw, being queer myself i distinctly remember that his stance on same sex marriage is also "NO". what a cutie!
also from @ValLisitsa: navalny's views of industrial workers “we must publicly drive all engineers & designers through a rank of soldiers w gauntlets. then publicly whip all workers. a laborer gets 10 lashes, an assemblyman 15, a shop manager 20, etc”

https://t.co/g3jGOjdyci
thank you for your input @minininjalove: an international spin of navalny's politics where he smears Indigenous socialist president of Bolivia Evo Morales. those comparisons to juan guaido are not far from truth.

https://t.co/jM6wgJNUF0
my fave thing with this thread is that nationalists keep reposting it and saying "this is the navalny we have lost 😭"

12 things you should look out for before buying health insurance

A thread 🧵

It’s a good idea to make sure your health is protected under an insurance policy so that you don’t shell out large sums of money for hospitalization and treatment. But buying an individual health insurance policy can be daunting in itself.

Websites and policy documents can be overwhelming. There’s a lot of loaded terms, there’s a whole bunch of things that your policy may or may not cover. It’s important to know and understand the details though, so you’re not surprised later.

In this thread, we'll talk about the things you absolutely need to watch out for when buying an individual health insurance policy for yourself or your family members :)

If you take an individual health insurance policy and the insurance company offers to pay up to ₹15 lakhs during the year whenever you’re diagnosed with a disease or meet an accident, that amount is the 'sum insured'.

🚨Important changes to lockdown/self-isolation regulations from 5pm

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (All Tiers and Self-Isolation) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2021

£800 'house party' FPN & police can now access track & trace data

https://t.co/k9XCpVsXhC


“Large gathering offence”

As trailed by Home Secretary last week there is now a fixed penalty notice of £800 (or £400 if you pay within 14 days) for participating in an gathering of over 15 people in a private residence


Fixed Penalty Notices double for each subsequent “large gathering offence” up to £6,400

Compare:
- Ordinary fixed penalty notice is £200 or £100 if paid in 14 days
- Holding or being involved in the holding of a gathering of over 30 people is £10,000


Second big change:

Since September has been a legal requirement to sell-isolate if you test positive/notified by Track & Trace of exposure to someone else who tested positive

Police can now be given access to NHS Track & Trace data if for the purpose of enforcement/prosecution


This will make it easier for police to enforce people breaking self-isolation rules. Currently there has been practically no enforcement.

Data says only a small proportion of people meant to be self-isolating are fully doing so.

A Conspiracy Thread: The Sentient World Simulation


In 2007, the Department of Defense worked with researchers at Purdue University to create SEAS, or the Synthetic Environment for Analysis and Simulations. SEAS uses data from the internet to create realistically detailed models of the world which are used to predict the future.


We’re told SEAS is now capable of running real-time simulations of up to 62 nations and that it’s been used by Fortune 500 companies for strategic planning, or in other words, manipulating the market. Nevertheless, there are plans to turn SEAS into something even more advanced.


Developers say their goal is to turn SEAS into a Sentient World Simulation, or a “continuously running, continually updated mirror model of the real world.” However, some conspiracy theorists claim the SWS is already live and running inside a network of quantum computers.


Researchers like Seth Lloyd have suggested that the entire universe could be simulated inside a quantum computer. According to Geordie Rose, the co-founder of D-Wave Systems, a company that creates these machines, they can even tap into parallel worlds and other dimensions.

#OTD 1901, Queen Victoria's funeral took place. Here's a little medical history THREAD (1/9) about one of Britain's longest reigning monarchs. 👇

"Queen Victorian on her death bed" by Emil Fuchs.


(2/9) On 7 April 1853, Queen Victoria became the first monarch to use chloroform to ease the pains of childbirth. Prince Leopold was born within 53 minutes of administration of the drug, which Victoria described as "delightful beyond measure.”


(3/9) The anaesthetic powers of chloroform was first discovered in 1847 by the Scottish physician James Young Simpson. He and his two friends experimented with it on the evening of November 4th. At first, they felt very cheerful and talkative. After a short time, they passed out.


(4/9) Impressed with the drug’s potency, Simpson began using chloroform as an anaesthetic. In December 1847, he delivered the first baby using it. Simpson nicknamed the girl “Saint Anaesthesia.” Her real name was Wilhelmina Carstairs, pictured here.


(5/9) During this time, Queen Victorian was pregnant with her sixth child. She heard of Simpson’s discovery and was keen to benefit from it, but royal doctors cautioned against it, claiming that painful contractions during labour were ordained by God.

is ADHD a mental illness ?

a thread

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder - people with it are born with it and it cannot be altered because it's part of their brain structure and is seen on brain scans. ADHD is also linked to premature births and hypothyroidism during pregnancy, among other things

from the WHO website: "neurodevelopmental disorders are disabilities in the functioning of the brain that can affect behaviour, memory and/or ability to learn."

neurodevelopmental disorders are not caused by external/environmental factors. you cannot *develop* these conditions

mental illness is a general term for a health problem that significantly affects how someone feels/thinks/behaves. mental illnesses cause suffering to those who experience them, as well as often their loved ones. ADHD does not directly cause suffering.

neurodevelopmental disorders are not mental illnesses. ADHD however, does make it more likely for a person to experience mental illness. ADHD can cause dysfunction and stress, but more often than not this comes from lack of accommodation rather than the symptoms themselves.

EVOLUTION OF CROWNS

The ancient Indian kings called a head crown as a Mukut and it would mostly constitute of a golden ornamental headgear like an oval cap with gems.

Sometimes it would also include a halo circle to show the divinity of the king

1/7


As it was considered that kings were appointment by the gods themselves. Example the kings of mewar considered themselves to be the ‘Diwan of eklingji')

But in most cases very few Mukut with halo effect have been found.

2/7

Samudragupta in the gupta era coin. You can see the helmet like headwear on him.

Till gupta era the solid golden head wear was used in most days of the monarch.

But since the onset of 8th century it reduced in usage and was now used only as a ceremonial headwear.

3/7


Whereas earlier the Maharaja had to wear the mukut whenever his court was in session.

Still mukut was being used prominently for ceremonial activities till recent times.

Maharaj Dahir of Sindh👇

4/7


But as times past the style of headwear also changed.

The kings mostly wore turbans ordained with pearls and gems while rarely anyone wore a true Mukut after 16th century.

BANASHANKARI AMMA, NEAR BADAMI (KAR)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Originally built by Chalukyas in 7th century. Devi Banashankari was their family deity. This image of Banashankari Amma was installed by Jagadekamalla I in 630 AD.

Later renovations were done by Marathas.


Once, a demon Durgamasur was troubling the people of this area. Answering the prayers of Devas, Ma Parvati emerged from the yajna fire as Banashankari and killed Durgamasur.
This area has rich forests of coconut, betel nut and other trees.
@GunduHuDuGa


It is said that during a severe famine, Devi provided vegetables and fruits to the people of this area.
Hence, she is also worshipped here as Shakambhari.
In the annual festival called Banashankari jatre, a Rath yatra takes place and Devi moves around the city in the chariot.
