Treat Ukraine as They Treat Women: Like Corpses

Ruschia murdered one of the women on the cover of my chapter on Provocation Logic Cycle aspect of Ruschist Disinfolklore. The artist Veronika Kozhushko was killed by a Ruschian glide bomb in Kharkhiv. Apt, because as I set out in Disinfolklore, Ruschists treat Ukraine as they treat women: Like corpses. Unlike many outside Ukraine, Veronika Kozhushko understood precisely who the enemy is — paleo-conservative misogynistic Ruschism — and she died fighting it.

Editorial Gloss
