#and even tho they fully assimilated culturally and never passed on language or much history there are still these little pieces
Text
many many selfish and unintelligible and conflicting and angry thoughts. i'm sorry. please ignore.
#i feel like i'm being so whiny and entitled bc i'm american but of ukrainian heritage and russia's war hits in an emotionally weird way#like this is not happening to me but it's probably happening to my unknown distant relatives#unknown and distant bc my relatives who immigrated fully assimilated but there are some cultural practices we held onto#and even tho they fully assimilated culturally and never passed on language or much history there are still these little pieces#of our heritage that i grew up with and even in assimilating they were still proudly and emphatically ukrainian#so russia's war is simultaneously personal and yet has nothing to do with me and i have no idea how to feel about this#i alternate between the emotional distance of being an american and crying bc this is where part of my family is from & it feels so selfish#i am sad that my relatives felt the need to assimilate and we lost that connection to our heritage but russia's goal is exterminating it#this feels so fucking selfish to be upset and i hate talking about it but it's hitting me *hard* again this morning#i hold the cognitive dissonance of being an american with the luxury of being anti nato/military while also being pro ukrainian military &#supporting nato expansion to curb russian imperialism#ideologically i am against militarization. realistically i know that russia doesn't give a fuck about diplomacy. western leftists fuck off#talking about n/azis in ukraine and not supporting ukraine bc of that and being anti nato expansion#it is selfish for me to be talking about this and being so upset but western leftists are making me so angry. RUSSIA is making me angry.#i'm sorry for venting about this and making this about me but i just need to get this out somewhere#so. slava ukraini 💙💛 i hope russia is defeated. i hope someday we see an end to nato and militarization but today is NOT that day.#this feels personal and yet the only way i'm personally affected as an american is by increased prices and orgs i donate to#i'm sorry and i hope ukrainians are able to return home soon. that western europe helps rebuild and support doesn't end with guns & bombs
