1. Valentine's Day ---- Why don't we talk about love today? Very good about love
and its opposition to the military and state machine is written on the Egaliteresource. This week was Valentine's Day. You can, of course, consider it only anexcuse for the capitalists to force you to buy gifts, but this day is based on amedieval legend that once there lived Saint Valentine, who was brutally murderedby the Roman authorities for secretly crowning soldiers who were forbidden tomarry . It is possible that they consider only the army as their family and notbe distracted by all kinds of love there. Let them just follow orders. ---- 2.Sledgehammer ---- Here are Prigozhin's legionnaires, or how to call them ...gangs? They don't know the words of love. After the head of a Wagner PMCmercenary who had returned from captivity was smashed with a sledgehammer,Prigogine residents considered that this was an excellent tool for intimidation,both literally and symbolically. They even sent to the European Parliament, theysay, you can do as much as you like about human rights, and we had these rightswith a sledgehammer.When United Russia gave sledgehammers to the mobilized in Novosibirsk, they hadto explain in interviews that they say no, no, no hints, just a trench tool. Yes,and Prigogine somewhat realized that his sledgehammer PR campaign, they say,"well, yes, we are scumbags and we are proud of it," does not always, to put itmildly, meet with understanding, and began to roll back, creating videos wheresupposedly beating with a sledgehammer on the head is "pretend". First, hedistributed a new video with another exchanged prisoner from his mercenaries, andthen handed it to journalists alive, they say, it's just "children have fun."Well, just a caring father and obviously aims at the "fathers of the people",meanwhile.Well, how does this good father deal with his, so to speak, children? Forexample, US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that "of the9,000 people killed, the mercenary company lost half in December 2022." And about90% of those killed in December were recruited from Russian prisons, Kirby added."They treat their recruits, mostly convicts, like cannon fodder, literallytossing them into a meat grinder here in inhumane ways without a second thought,"Kirby said. "He[the head of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin - approx. TMT]pulledthese people out of prison and threw them onto the battlefield without training,without equipment, without leadership, they just threw them into battle."According to other sources, the same picture of throwing "cannon fodder" emerges.3. State prisonAs you know, recently Prigozhin recruited his mercenaries in places of detention.And as my mother said, "don't renounce prison and the bag." Alas, this oldRussian proverb is becoming more and more relevant again. Here the newspaper MKwrites that the average term of imprisonment in Russia has increaseddramatically. Including very long sentences are given to people whose entirefault before the so-called law was that they wrote the truth about the waragainst Ukraine. A Barnaul court sentenced journalist and activist MariaPonomarenko to 6 years in prison for writing about the deaths in a bombed-outMariupol drama theater. The prosecution asked for 9 years. How terrible it is forthe state to spread the truth. Such a term is comparable to an article for robbery.By the way, let me remind you: you can read about what anarchists think about thesystem of punishments and what alternative they offer in the materials of oursite. For example, the January article "The School of Anarchism: A Model ofLibertarian Justice."4. A good toastmaster and interesting contestsThere was such a Soviet joke. "THE USSR. Mid 70s. The lecturer comes to thecollective farm. He puts up a poster at the club: "A lecture on the types andmethods of love with a slide show." In the evening in the club there is nowherefor an apple to fall.The lecturer begins: - Love happens between a man and a woman. This is fine.People: Slides!The lecturer continues: - Love happens between a woman and a woman or between aman and a man. It is not normal.People: Slides! Come on slides!The lecturer is impenetrable: - And sometimes there is love for the Motherland.And now the slides.Well, love for the Motherland in the form of patriotism is promoted by theauthorities as a demand to support the war, and this is certainly not at allfunny, but it can take the form of such a big top that you don't need to go to areal circus. Here are just two examples. In Blagoveshchensk, 145 people dousedthemselves with cold water in support of the so-called NWO. The head of theorganization and one of the initiators of the action, Alexander Brylin, said:"Many doubt that we can't help the fighters in any way, but the most importantthing here is that we pour ourselves in the cold, at -22 degrees ..."And here is another brilliant idea, this time a swim of children from the HitlerYouth, that is, from the Yunarmiya, in camouflage and with machine guns. "Allparticipants observed the rules of hygiene and took a shower before the swim andput on caps," Evgeny Kubrin, acting chief of staff of the Yunarmiya citymovement, told the Rise newspaper. Slides can be viewed at the links.In general, "a good toastmaster and interesting contests." Why, I wonder, dothose sent for slaughter still lack enthusiasm?5. BitterHere, for example, is a large article about the life of those mobilized not evenon the front line: "According to confirmed data, six mobilized people have diedsince the beginning of mobilization in the Yelansky garrison. Of these, twodeaths were directly related to alcohol consumption: one man was drunk and chokedon his vomit, the other had an epileptic seizure due to drinking. The thirdmobilized committed suicide. The fourth, Denis Kozlov, died already at home - atthe autopsy, the cause of death was called cirrhosis against the background ofalcoholic cardiomyopathy (that is, damage to the heart muscle - ed.). Kozlovmanaged to tell his brother before his death that he had been beaten in the unit.Another man was not pumped out after a heart attack. The sixth mobilized fromYelan, Yevgeny Duz, died in a covid hospital in Chelyabinsk, where he was takenin a serious condition.In December, an officer of the military camp told the media that those mobilizedfrom the military registration and enlistment offices came to Yelan already drunkand brought with them whole bags and backpacks of vodka. Here is an excerpt froma conversation with a store clerk: "I go up to the clerk: - I was told thatalcohol is not sold here... - Alcohol was not really sold here until the New Yearholidays. The command called our management, they even blocked our cash desks forthree months, but then they opened sales and haven't closed them yet," he says."By law, we have no right not to sell, and the mobilized drink to the state ofpigs. They can't walk, they constantly rowdy, they break everything. I'd say it'snot safe here."I just want to add that "if the mobilized had not been rowdy, then NATO soldierswould have been rowdy here." And if without sarcasm, then it turns out that theinhabitants of Russia are not safe from their own "defenders". Next week is justtheir "holiday", so to speak. Just zhrutsya in the trash and obviously not happy.6. Like a toad with a viperFor example, Strelkov, who boasted in an interview with Prokhanov that he startedthe war with Ukraine, has been complaining for years that everything is wrong,everything was stolen, and in general everything is bad. Moreover, as animperialist and a national-monarchist, it would never occur to him that theso-called "Russian world", for which he stands up so much, simply cannot bedifferent, the war only more clearly revealed all his problems. It got to thepoint that Strelkov posted a video of Navalny about deputies who constantly referto patriotism, but have real estate in countries belonging to the NATO bloc.As for Strelkov's relationship with pro-government war lovers, one can certainlysay that they are akin to sex between a toad and a viper (sorry, look for theslides yourself). And the story about how Tajik and Uzbek workers were hired todig trenches, and then they were thrown with payment, in my opinion, will notsurprise anyone.7. Remember, children, war is love!This week, a video surfaced on social networks with a story for Yunarmiya membersabout what war is. "Remember, children! War is victory! War is love! War is afriend! War is the future laid down in the world!" Soon denials appeared, theysay, the words were taken out of context and in general this is 2021. Well, theground for war was prepared in advance. Not always, as in the first South Parkcartoon, it is enough to say "war is wow!", And all those people ran to fight.And that the words are just in context, you can clearly see right now, when thewar with Ukraine has been going on for almost a year now.8. And about folkloreOf course, not all people are so stupid as not to see all the lies andcontradictions, and the war gave rise to new political jokes. For example:- Good afternoon! You have a summons to the military registration and enlistmentoffice.- And with whom will we fight?- With the Nazis, of course!- Against whom?Well, such humor helps to find allies with whom, among other things, you can talkabout love. For example, about the love of freedom. And how to make this love,decide for yourself.Well, that's all for today! We remind you that in "Trends of Order and Chaos" theparticipants of "Autonomous Action" give anarchist assessments of current events.Listen to us on YouTube, SoundCloud and other platforms, visit our websiteavtonom.org, subscribe to our e-mail newsletter!https://avtonom.org/news/pro-lyubov-trendy-poryadka-i-haosa-epizod-93_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
