When people say they respect the U.S. Constitution and human
rights, it is very often a lie.
People hate criticism of themselves and what they like.
That is exactly why our Founding Fathers had to put into the
U.S. Constitution the 1st Amendment, a constitutional guarantee to criticize
the government - so that people would be able to do that without fear of
prosecution for "sedition", and thus discuss flaws in their country
as a way to figure out how to spot them and eradicate them, making the country
better.
But, during the current contentious presidential elections,
many in the flock of Democrats say one thing and do the opposite.
They jam down people's throats their political correctness
about respect to illegal aliens, criminal thugs (if they are illegal aliens or
"back or brown") - but at the same time bash the First Lady for her
accent and possible language flaws (in the language which is not her native).
I have lived in the United States for 21 years and am an
American citizen.
I also am an ethnic Russian (and spouse of 1/4 Cherokee and mother of a US soldier who is 1/8 Cherokee, later you will see RBG admirers telling me to "go back to Russia" and to "go back to your country" because "we do not want you here" and "you are not invited here") .
Until President Trump came to the
White House and Democrats started to wage a war against him, mainly claiming that he has gotten into the power because Russia interfered into elections in 2016, I had no need to worry about my "Russian-ness".
Now I do have to worry, and not because of anything the
President did.
It is because of a vicious bigotry campaign against ethnic
Russians that I am increasingly beginning to feel not safe not only on social
media, but also physically.
I am regularly receiving on Facebook death threats because,
I criticize Democrats for logical inconsistencies,
illegal actions and hypocrisy - "while being Russian".
I criticize Republicans, too - but never so far have I received
death threats from them for that criticism.
My concern for safety of myself and other Russian Americans
is also backed up by the existence of the gruesome U.S. Supreme Court precedent
Korematsu v United States, in which the U.S. Supreme Court has declared
constitutional putting American citizens in concentration camps based on their
origin.
Switch "Japanese" to "Russian" in
Korematsu - and here we go, the bigots can start catching American citizens -
ethnic Russians - and put them into concentration camps right now.
The sad irony of it is that the biggest bigots are the
"dying wish" thumpers from the cult of Ruth Bader Ginsburg who is extolled
by the same cult for her constant criticisms of the government.
For her - it is allowed and praised.
For second rate citizens, such as Democrats consider us,
Russian Americans - it is a taboo that
invites this.
Here is the comment I have made yesterday on the Washington
Post article - and I have researched Ruth Ginsburg for years and stand by my
word that she was a corrupt judge.
In any event, whether I was right or wrong, Democrats hurl
insults and accusations against their political opponents all the time without
any proof whatsoever - and consider it normal.
But see what kind of comments Democrats posted in response
to my criticism of their new saint.
Out of over 568 comments here (more now) placed by Democrats in response (they did not conceal their political leanings), 129 at the time I saved the scan (I am sure there are more now, and the 129 scans do not include those comments in the same bigoted vein that I blocked yesterday, and there were quite a few) - well over 20%, a VERY statistically significant bashed me for being Russian, told me to go back to Moscow from "their" country.
People were bashing me because I was Russian, for my name, for me using my native language on my page, for me educated in a Moscow university, for me being born and having lived in Moscow. You name it - they did it.
Moreover, such insults came not only in singles, but also in blocks of 2, 3 and even 4 in a row - and on each one of them a lot of likes and even "loves" appear. So, Democrats consider ethnic shaming of an American citizen an absolute norm for themselves, and being a Russian American an equivalent of being a second rate citizen for whom the very same rights they are fighting to give illegal aliens are forbidden.
Moreover, when I started to call bigots out and call them bigots, it is I who was blocked by Facebook for responding, and it is I who was blocked by Facebook from even putting laughing signs on the bigoted comments - while bigots continued their galore and commented that, because I am not responding, I am definitely a troll.
So here, first blocks of 2, 3 and 4.
The bottom one says: "Learn English better, comrade, or you will have to work 3rd shift". No indication as to what exactly was wrong with my English in the comment.
And note that the same people will consider it despicable to shame an illegal alien - or a "black or brown immigrant" for their English language abilities. With me Democrats, with their hysteria about "Russian collusion" and "Russian influence" in the left-wing press practically declared an open hunting season on Russians.
And that's exactly what somebody said on my page - that they will hunt me down, physically. Of course, Facebook helpfully blocked me from answering them, ON MY OWN PAGE.
But, here are more blocks.
See - they have already started to resort to ethnic name-shaming, the shining followers of a "human rights icon" Ruth Bader Ginsburg, many with her likeness as their profile pictures. And in her defense.
By the way, parents of Ruth Bader Ginsburg arrived from the Ukraine, which was a part of the Russian empire, and then the USSR. So, they were Russian Jews.
A daughter of two Russian Jews is - who?
Oh, no. They are bashing a Russian woman for criticizing another Russian woman (a public official in the employ of the first Russian woman) because the critic is Russian - why not, logical, isn't it?
"Natasha" is a vulgarspeak for a "Russian prostitute", by the way.
As you see in the bottom "statement here", the commentator's command of the English language leaves much to be desired.
So now they are shaming me for being proud of my child serving in the U.S. military - after bashing the U.S. President that he was supposedly disrespectful to the troops, go figure.
The bottom comment here points out that "I don't even hide" that I am Russian.
I guess, being an ethnic Russian is now shameful and needs to be hidden - as well as having been born in the USSR/Russia, and having obtained 2 ADVANCED GRADUATE DEGREES (in linguistics and in economic sciences) because they were from Moscow universities - that was inherently bad of me.
Democrats support only education obtained in Columbia University and in Honduras.
The comment in Russian here says "yes, yes, Grandma".
And now the singles.
The tricolor flag here is a Russian flag, so the statement goes that I am "pushing talking points for Russia".
Americans have a very poor knowledge on average of the world history, and so they do not realize that RBG's father came from Odessa (I guess, Oleg Zachemtebe was too lazy to consult even a Wikipedia page about his "idol"), while mother from Krakow, and both Odessa and Krakow were at the time were very much a part of the Russian Empire.
Notably, the guy claims this distinction to say - oh, no, no, my idol cannot be of that horrible Russian ethnicity.
This is not accidental, this is not anecdotal, this is not sporadic.
This is massive, systematic and concerted bigotry, deeply ingrained by the propaganda of Democrats.
Moreover, these people actually BELIEVE in their right to treat me in a condescending and insulting manner based on my name, education, place of birth and ethnic origin alone.
They even pushed it further - many of them not only told me that, because I dared to criticize THEIR darling (a public official, while they can insult the President and his family all they want in whatever way they want), I needed to "get out of THEIR country", but also that "America will be better off without people like me", or without people "named Tatiana".
And that is, ladies and gentlemen, fascism and smacking very much of the proximity of concentration camps.
Since A LOT of these people really came to my page to harass me, and some of them said they will hunt me down, it is only a matter of time when Russians will deliberately be hunted down and attacked in the streets.
Now imagine for a split second that my profile was of a brown faced woman named Maria Alvarez who would claim she was educated in Mexico and who would post on her page in her supposedly native Spanish.
Do you think if Maria Alvarez would say the absolute same things about RBG as I did, ANY of this crowd would DARE to shame her because of her
- Ethnic origin,
- Name,
- Country of birth,
- Education
- Use of her native language on her page?
Dare to presume that she is "busy undermining our country" for pesos?
Do you think they will DARE calling her a prostitute (well, on Senator Elizabeth Warren's website a couple of days ago when I criticized the Senator, people simply called me Russian pigwhore, and neither the Senator nor Facebook interfered, that obviously did not violate "community standards" for either one)?
So when you are heading for the voting booth in November, remember - voting for Democrats is voting for the above FASCISTS who will attack you, deprive you of your rights, harass you, intimidate you, threaten your life, shame you for the same things (ethnic origin, ethnic name, command of native language, education, place of birth) - which they celebrate for people whose ethnicities Democrats do not find "offensive" - all in the name of higher principles and their sainted idols.
But let me ask you - who are they to pick and choose whose ethnicity is "offensive" or to be praised?
You know who Hitler exterminated during Holocaust?
No, not only Jews. Also gypsies and SLAVS.
Like me.
Oh, and it is interesting to mention that when I started to call them out on their bigotry, this way:
that is - before Facebook restricted my ability to do that - you know what one of them very condescendingly told me?
Here:
See?
All of the above that you see
(that's why I strived to preserve each bigoted comment with the exception of those I have blocked yesterday - too much trouble to go back and sort through blocked people, there were a lot of people who came to harass me to my page who I had to block)
is casually shrugged off as a "someone" who "cries about an INCIDENTAL bigoted (they admit it) comment" as "their EXCUSE", mind, "to vote for Trump".
It is an EXCUSE now.
Because, despite bigotry and fascism displayed above towards me and other Russian Americans, voting for Democrats is supposedly a duty of every freedom loving American.
It is like expecting Mr Korematsu to vote for his guards.
Well, this Russian American will certainly will not vote for fascists.
Because, once again, THIS string of ethnic targeted hatred for criticism of the government is FASCISM, and to put such people into the White House and into the key legislative positions in the U.S. Congress and Senate is downright scary.
Let's vote to prevent it.
Remember this when you go to the polls, Russian Americans.
