in my hag era

I'm not looking for wealth or financial stability; I'm just looking to provide food, medicine, and shelter for my family and my poor cat. 😞🐈

Why don't you donate to me? Is it because I'm extremely poor, or because I'm so weak that I can't afford the necessities of life, or because I can't save money due to the bad economic situation? 😞💔💔😭😭

I set an initial goal for my campaign of reaching $800. I've already raised $453, leaving $347 to go. I'm confident you can help me reach this goal quickly before it's too late 🙏🏻

453$ / 800$

The ‘inferiority’ of Russians is explained by ‘excluding’ them from the Western/European civilization and exaggeration of Russian ‘non-Europeanness’ in history, culture and social reality. The uniqueness of Russophobia as a form of (cultural) racism is due to the following factors. First, in the dominant Western political and cultural narratives ‘Russians’ are positioned as ‘White’. Sometimes even the Russian ‘Europeanness’ is admitted. Thus, one can speak about the ‘Russian inferiority’ or ‘maliciousness’ without being exposed as a ‘racist’ and not fearing any negative consequences for his/her career and public image. This characteristic also contributes to the vitality and popularity of Russophobia and ‘legitimizes’ expression of strongest dehumanizing forms of anti-Russian sentiment. Thus, Russophobia can be attributed as a politically correct (!) (cultural) racism and hatred based on ethnocultural background. Existing Russophobic stereotypes and negative Russian stereotypes in general are reificated by the Western popular culture as Steven Kurutz points out: I suspect screenwriters and studio executives have deemed Russians to be politically safe villains. No advocacy group will protest. No foreign distribution deal will be nixed.

Of course, Russophobia is a complex phenomenon: other ‘dimensions’ of it can include xenophobia, anti-Russia(n) prejudice, fear of the ‘Russian threat’ (i.e. the ‘phobia’ part itself) and even (geo)political ideology. Moreover, Russophobia should not be confused with ‘regular’ Russian stereotypes. The distinction is thin but surely not every Russian stereotype is Russophobic: it can be a mere (confirmation) bias, mystification or klyukvification. Only the most crude, hateful and essentialized Russian stereotypes should be treated as Russophobic: calling any Russian stereotype or critical approach ‘Russophobic’ undermines the concept of ‘Russophobia’ and waters the boundaries of the term meanings down.

The fear of Russia(ns) heated during the Cold War was (used as) a political factor both in the domestic and foreign policies of the Western countries. Similarly, anti-Western sentiment was exploited in the Soviet propaganda. The difference of this anti-Other (where the ‘Other’ equals the ‘Enemy’) discourse in the West and in the Eastern Bloc was as follows. Despite the basic similiraties in the anti-Western and anti-Soviet discourse’ texture the former was targeted mainly at capitalism as a system, i.e. it didn’t target all Westerners but capitalists and the ‘good guys’ were the ethnic minorities and working class. But the Cold War era anti-Soviet discourse cannot be reduced to anti-communism only because it was also deeply anti-Russian: ‘Ruskies’ were seen as ‘dangerous’ and ‘barbarous’ themselves. For example, American General George S. Patton said: The difficulty in understanding the Russians is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian have no regard for human life and is an all out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk. [...]

I don’t know how to explain what it feels like to watch your father slowly weaken in front of you.

Every day, I look at him and I see exhaustion in his face. Not only from illness, but from helplessness, from the cold, from constant uncertainty.

I am his son. I am supposed to protect him.

Instead, I stand there powerless, thinking about the things we cannot provide. Proper treatment. Consistent medicine. Nutritious food to help him regain strength. A safe, stable place where he can truly rest.

There is a specific kind of pain in watching your father try to stay strong for you while his body is failing him.

And there is an even heavier pain in knowing that help exists in this world, but it has not reached him yet.

This is not just about survival.

It is about giving my father a real chance to heal.

It is about his dignity.

If you are reading this, I am asking you to stand with us.

Not out of pity,

but out of humanity.

Please donate to my family and share this post.

My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one 💔😭. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it😭. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family 🙏. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances 😔.

I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family 🥺🙏.
