🇺🇦 🕊️ Support the Ukrainian people on Bandcamp Friday

For over a week now the Ukrainian people suffer from a brutal war Russia is waging on their country.

And it's Bandcamp Friday today (started at midnight Pacific time), the day on Bandcamp where they waive their revenue and the full amount goes to the artists.

So I thought this would be an opportunity to support the Ukrainian people via Bandcamp purchases.

Some suggestions of great bands to support:

- Stoned Jesus (Facebook)
- Somali Yacht Club (Facebook)
- Motanka (Facebook)
- Jinjer (Facebook)

This is just a small list of bands I personally enjoy and appreciate, and whose members have spoken out in support of their country in these desperate times. But maybe you have some more suggestions to add? Please write below.

And here are some specific albums / compilations that donate their earnings directly to humanitarian organizations supporting the people in Ukraine (please see the comments on the respective albums for details):

- Slava Ukraini! by Various Artists (Fundraiser for Ukraine)
- Polish songs for Ukraine
- Support Ukraine - Fundraiser VA
- A Dove Has Spread Her Wings: Relief for Ukraine by Northern Electronics
- In my dreams I see a peaceful East by Various Artists
- A by Skee Mask
- Die Klagen von Grau (in support of Ukraine) by Schattenfall

Of course you can also donate directly to organizations supporting the people in Ukraine or the ones fleeing from the war. Want to support Ukraine? Here's a list of charities by subject

My thoughts are with the people in Ukraine, I hope they will get their freedom and peace soon.

If anybody REALLY want to help peoples (not a ukronazists), do it directly with Анатолий Шарий.

Be a bit cautious. Just as much as I (and my Russian-born lover) of course see what everyone outside the Vladolf-approved propaganda machine can see, it doesn't mean that every fundraiser is genuine. The more abrupt an emergency arises, the greater are the chances that a fake one can collect $$s and then immediately disappear.

Rather than something that popped up right now, choose safer channels like https://www.unicef.org

If you want to give a hand and a symbolic "we're with you!" to an Ukrainian artist on Bandcamp Friday, check whether their Bandcamp page is run by the band and not just by a record label.

(And since the Bandcamp shark happily cancels your purchase after pocketing your money, I only purchase on Bandcamp Friday where the middle-man at least promises to forfeit their share.
As a matter of coincidence, four weeks ago I was nearly about to buy the full discography of some Russian metal label, but went for supporting some ACLU benefit samplers instead.  Did my research not to fall for false fundraisers, chose at least well-established US indie labels.)

Like, I mean, when Putin sends this guy (zoom in for the SS tattoo) to assassinate the Jewish president of Ukraine, and calls it de-nazification.

And threatening 15 years of jail time for even calling it an invasion. The first bullet item at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_political_jokes#Soviet_Union just got upscaled by fifty percent.

Oh, nothing to worry about, it comes from an anti-Russian propaganda group called the "Duma": https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-invasion-criminal-offense-duma-1684810

Those Neo-Nazi torturers being subordinate to Russian authorities, that is old news. Look at the dates here: https://www.csis.org/blogs/post-soviet-post/band-brothers-wagner-group-and-russian-state https://thearabweekly.com/russian-mercenary-group-wagner-lands-hot-water
https://news.sky.com/story/revealed-russias-secret-syria-mercenaries-10529248
And then there is something oddly familiar with this picture (which I got from a pro-Putin outlet): https://i.imgur.com/0fKgvUY.jpg
Hint: to the far right you got the guy with the SS tattoo. He got his medals from the guy who does not sport any of them - the guy in the middle. You might have seen a picture of him before.

Thanks for pointing at the horse's mouth admitting to criminalizing free speech, that confirms half of it. For the other half, Putin willfully disseminated by way of the picture of him and that SS-tattooed Hitler disciple he had decorated - of course not by coincidence.
But, can I suggest you take a bit more care not to fuck up quotes? In these days you probably don't want an innocent honest mistake to be confused with Ольгино trolling.

The House of Mythology label pledges the the proceeds specifically as follows: "All money will go to The International Committee of the Red Cross". That is the first on @phw 's list of charity compilations:

Quote from: phw on
- Slava Ukraini! by Various Artists (Fundraiser for Ukraine)
Artists include Ulver, Current 93, Stian Westerhus ... and Zu - not with Mike Patton this time, but with an opera singer known for his cast in Yevgeny Onegin ... oh, probably just another anti-Russian propaganda piece.
Or maybe, you know, it is Vladimir Vladimirovich who is headed for the status that Benito Amilcare Andrea has in Zu's home country.

Swedish label Northern Electronics pledges the proceeds to Unicef:

I know pretty much nothing about the other compilations.


Fuck, what a time to witness. Now playing:

Bad times indeed. Had been listening to Dead Soldiers by the great band SadMe from Moscow. This is now again frighteningly topical. So many lives wasted, on both sides.

Also just in general: Of course everyone do your research. I just thought this might reach a few people who otherwise are not so much aware of the situation, and a small Bandcamp purchase might do a bit. But there are plenty of other ways to help. Unicef has been mentioned above. Also have a look at the charities in your country. Many charities (especially in Europe of course) are organizing humanitarian help, both for the people inside Ukraine and for refugees. You might be able to help with money, or with directly donating goods.

The same pictures I posted above - note how the picture where the SS-tattooed Dmitriy "Wagner" Utkin poses with Putin (who had decorated him) was published in Kremlin-controlled media. To flag that the de jure ban on private armies is never to be enforced on any Putin-approved Neo-Nazi group, Vladolf loyalists can please sign up.
No, the Nazism isn't just "Wagner"'s own idiosyncratic idea: outside a Wagner base in Syria, mercenary Yan Petrovskiy does der Hitlergruß for camera - and Putin wants you to believe that this guy's mission in Ukraine (him to the far right, of course) is one of "de-nazification".

Also in the picture it seems, the co-founder of Petrovskiy's group: a guy who would brag his manliness by posting pictures of teenage himself beheading a puppy. (No, I'm not posting the link.)

Photoshop is bad here. Look closely at necks of two guys on right.
Also, why you are so stuck about Putin and Utkin? What is your point exactly? Wouldn't you better tell about how many people were killed and how many countries were ruined by NATO? Putin and Utkin are just pussycats compared to NATO.

Oh man, are you guys for real, is this an attempt to justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine?
You have serious delusions!!
This is "The Beginning of the End of Putin’s Russia!"
https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/war-ukraine-beginning-end-putins-russia
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/01/opinion/ukraine-russia-putin.html

A horror scenario for the coming years would be that Putin succeeds in his intention to make Ukraine a vassal state,
that the Republicans win the congressional election this fall,
that Trump or a cloned copy of him becomes the new president in 2025 and that the Russia-China axis is strengthened and becomes dominant in international politics.
The Western Alliance should already be preparing for such a nightmare scenario, without any illusions or blinders.

He willingly brags about it and posts the pictures, but of course he isn't necessarily honest.
Same face, same tattoos, same wristwatch.

Well ... there have been some incidents in the news the last couple of weeks. At least in countries with free press, the news coverage has been quite extensive.
If you are on an internet connection without access to such, I don't blame you for asking. Family of person mentioned in reply #2 also asks - cautiously between the lines (being old enough to remember when the KGB was called "KGB" in other countries than Belarus).

I thought politics wasn't allowed here because there is no section for "serious discussion", and the forum remained almost Divoc- and Pmurt-free without members getting divided.

First of all, that cannot be correct as long as a subforum is residually defined like this.

Anyway, site admin set a precedent as late as this year: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=122074.msg1007522#msg1007522

Politics...
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war...
