Reasoning for anti-war manifest

[medikoo]

I'm opening this issue to serve as a single place to serve any (possibly constructive) discussions, towards the anti-Russian invasion on Ukraine manifest that's part of this package.

---

As I mentioned in https://github.com/medikoo/es5-ext/commit/28de285ed433b45113f01e4ce7c74e9a356b2af2 whole point of this manifest, is to urge all Russians that see it, to seek reliable sources of information of what's going on, as you won't get it from official media sources in Russia.

It's very important for you and the whole world that you realize what's really going on.

Note that I'm affected by the situation directly, and it's why I've decided to put this manifest in.

Reiterating what I've mentioned before:

So far, my country (Poland) has welcomed 1.5 million people from war-stricken Ukraine. They are ordinary, regular people, like you and me. Now frightened and without a place to live.

My friends regularly take a car, fill it with basic needs, go to the border, leave the products, and take Ukrainians who fleed their homes, offering them a free ride to one of the major cities. Some others take shifts to help manage situations in large public shelters. I personally let two Ukrainian women stay in one of my flats.

Your army is bombing civilian buildings, and hospitals, killing women and children. AFAIK, they see it the only way to crush the spirit of Ukrainians.

If you can check this thread: https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1502748765169532928

When I'll have time I'll post in this thread some news on war in Ukraine which you have no chance to see in official Russian media.

Note, that I won't answer any not constructive comments.

[asilenkov]

Nah, you are just closing all the issues and creating a new one every time you get a reply you were not expected. Is it panic? Please stop it, that's not the way github works.

Funny you say that the point is "to help you get to reliable sources of information of what's going on, as you won't get it from official media sources in Russia", yet you provide a link for a Tor mirror of BBC, which is of course very well know for their unbiased way of doing journalism. You're targeting Russian developers by the way, majority of whom are aware of VPN's existence, and also are probably reading different Telegram channels making news on the whole debacle. Also, what's your point in saying "stop Putin"? Do you understand that because of your recklessness GitHub/NPM could get blocked in Russia, since this can be treated as an incitement of a coup? Just FYI — protesting in this country has already proved to solve nothing.

Unbiased? OMG no!

Posting "LIVE FROM KHARKOV" and photo from Donetsk is not unbiased, it's outright deliberate lie.

[dmitry-ra]

@medikoo, your unprofessional actions has a single result - in developers communities going a wave about freeze and locks dependencies. And this is because of you.

Translated message from a screenshot: "Colleagues, recommend that customers freeze dependency updates. They send this [link]".

He's not the most smart "peace fighter". There are reports on fresh update stealing passwords and SSH keys.

War will end. Reputation will persist. You don't need to fuck a goat in public twice.

[dmitry-ra]

@medikoo, "help you get to reliable sources of information of what's going on, as you won't get it from official media sources in Russia" 1) your postinstall message directed to developers - to people, who works with tech and know about VPN, you realize that? 2) who asked you for help?

@medikoo - this is a two constructive questions.

[Duny]

С такими загонами, как у автора, как бы не пришлось через пару месяцев добавлять в закладку новый часовой пояс "Russia/PPR", где PPR это Poland People's Republic.

Шучу, конечно.

[medikoo]

Do you understand that because of your recklessness GitHub/NPM could get blocked in Russia, since this can be treated as an incitement of a coup?

I think the coup is the only hope for you and for the neighboring countries, and from what I can see, sooner or later you'll have that happening.

Blocking GitHub and npm in Russia may also be good for you, as it may help you realize how enslaved you are by your government. I don't mind that.

your postinstall message directed to developers - to people, who works with tech and know about VPN, you realize that?

@dmitry-ra I realize that. Still, many developers never tried the Tor browser (e.g. I didn't so far, and still don't have a real need for that).

Another reason is, that fact that developers know the tools to get to a reliable source of information doesn't mean they do. I'm pretty sure many (and the number of negative responses here proves that), choose to feel "safe" under what Russian propaganda sells in official channels. In such a case, the message I'm showing is disturbing, definitely not one developer wants to see, and that is its purpose.

You need to wake up and search for the truth. Do you realize that your country is at risk to go bankrupt in the next days?: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/03/10/russia-belarus-mightily-close-default-world-bank-warns/

who asked you for help?

No-one. It's my sole idea. Near every day I'm seeing or hearing of fleeing Ukrainian women and children in my city. See the message I've put in the top description. I host two Ukrainian women, that left Lviv two weeks ago, in one of my flats. My daughter's class was just extended with 4 Ukrainian kids, which needed to flee constant bombing alarms and risk of dying in their home country. It's hard to sit still when such things happen

I only can wonder why it was easy to seat for 8 years? Maybe because your (so independent) mind did not get outcry from every speaker around you?

Those kids are not the kids you are allowed to care about. Their deaths did not touch you.

[medikoo]

Some additional news you won't see in your TV:

On 9 March 2022, the Russian Air Force bombed Maternity Hospital No 3, a hospital complex functioning both as a children's hospital and maternity ward in Mariupol, Ukraine (more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariupol_hospital_airstrike)

Women and unborn child from the last picture, unfortunately died.

For reliable reports from bombed cities check this photographer: https://www.instagram.com/evgenymaloletka/ (I'm pretty sure you can access it only via VPN)

Mariupol as you probably know, before invasion was largely Russian speaking, and ca 50% of citizens were Russian.

On Friday there was a circulating story of captured Russian pilot (Maksim Kryshtop), who carried out 3 bombing flights despite knowing that his target was civil infrastructure. Further, he urged Russian serviceman to cease hostilities. “It is my opinion that we have already lost this war".

@tarkhil I'm sorry for every life that's lost because of senseless aggression no matter who started it. I'm pretty sure you do not see it as justification for killing Ukraining children as done by Russian forces currently

[heyqbnk]

@medikoo it must be a joke. Dude. I could not even imagine there is a guy who could create such a good library, but at the same time being such idiot ruining everything he did for the great bunch of people. Cant believe it.

You think that you are kind of saint now opening new world for people who live in Russia. The posts you sent are already known for about week and I still cannot believe you are that bad. Everybody has the information sources, we know what is happening, we cannot do anything with this, stop spamming that shit in code.

Not realising that there is no truth in war. Nobody says the truth, but you still think that you use the reliable source of information and keep trying to "open eyes" for everybody. You just dont understand that you are doing deeply wrong thing when everybody says you the same - dont put politics into development, dumbass.

[nomanner1988]

I think GitHub should do with this repo the same that they did with faker.js

It is fake. She's an Instagram beauty blogger. https://www.instagram.com/krevvetochka/

[heyqbnk]

@nomanner1988 dont break his ideal world. He think that imprisoned russian soldiers could say something like "Go Russia, capture the Ukraine, we will win!" instead of "We already lost this war" when they will be instantly dead right after conference in case they do it.

Critical thinking. Sources of truth. Yeah boy.

[dmitry-ra]

the coup is the only hope for you and for the neighboring countries

@medikoo, and now hold on a second. Imagine that you in our place. You live you life, want to make nice and neat stuff, raise your children's, travel to beautiful places, etc. And someone tell you that you should start a bloody massacre in your country. Because "coup" it's a not an easy walk with colored banners and flags with music. This is a street fights with police and army. But in police and army serve yours brothers. So, in fact, you just tell - "Anti-war manifest: you need to shed yours blood for a peace". Thanks, dude. This is not a movie.

Some additional news you won't see

This is everywhere for a few last days.

Do you realize that your country is at risk to go bankrupt in the next days

This is sad, but this +-0 for a country with SWIFT turned off. My bank cards already just a plastic junk, thank you for a reminder.

[medikoo]

It is fake. She's an Instagram beauty blogger. https://www.instagram.com/krevvetochka/

@nomanner1988 It's not a fake, but it's true that the pictured lady is an Instagram blogger. She happened to be in advanced pregnancy recently (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cah7OCIKyOE/) and hosted at Mariupol hospital.

[vladimirbazhanov]

Please, show simular commits where you show your active position about how NATO respects sovereignty and territorial integrity of Yugoslavia? Libya? Afghanistan? Where can I look commit about USA's war in Siria?

It's very interesting to find them.

Also, why I can not find any photos and pictures about people killed by ukrainian nazi during 2014-2022???

It's a shame for all of you.

[ghost]

@medikoo Wake up, Neo! You were deceived!

For 8 years in Ukraine, the Nazis have been killing and torturing civilians. They do it because people want to speak Russian.

Under the leadership of the United States, deadly viruses are being developed in Ukraine, which can be much more dangerous than covid 19.

Your own country supplies weapons to Ukraine. And Ukrainian Prezident releases criminals from prisons and arms them. Тhey are the ones who kill women and children in Ukraine.

The Russian army will stop this madness!

[ipleten]

OMFG!. Russian propoganda bingo in github: "8 years", "nazi in Ukraine", " Ally of Angel in Donetsk", oh and of course everything else which wasn't shown in russian TV is a fake!

@medikoo Thank you for support, dude!

[asilenkov]

Guys, just a kind reminder, again. This is not a place for politics. If you want to do this, just delete account from github and go somewhere else. There are a lot of places to let you make this. All you are trying to achieve now, it's just a painful death for your library for nothing. There are a lot of alternatives around to not have some brainwashed crazy developer who is bloating software for political reasons. Just stop doing this until everyone just remove this piece of code out of everywhere. It's not even a library but extension and this become very annoying. Are you still sure you are good enough to survive? And your goal to spam github is not good at all. Also result you want to have is not achievable. You know about version lock don't you?

[iwdt]

It's just hype topic for him. It's very, very two-faced

[eolme]

@medikoo

Where is the fact check? Why is there no meat and blood in a hospital "full of people"? Oh, yeah, sorry blogger's mascara is leaking because of an explosion that just turned the building into a pile of rubble.

Where's the fact check? Why are chipped planks suddenly a grave? This is just a terrible joke.

Where is the fact check? Why do you take one side at face value and not the other? Well, I'll tell you, if it were a war, then the first thing they would do would be to destroy all the towers and any means of communication. But all of a sudden that didn't happen. You could argue that they demolished the TV tower, but just imagine how many of them there are in the country, why didn't they demolish them all? Oh, yes, uncomfortable questions.

[eolme]

@medikoo

Where are the carpet bombings? Why were the humanitarian corridors opened? Oh I'm sorry, this is war.

[eolme]

@medikoo

Why hasn't the entire army been mobilized yet? Why is there still so little military in Ukraine? And just a reminder that Russia has the largest army. But why isn't all this happening? Think about who has been brainwashed. Could it be you?

[ghost]

Ok. @medikoo, please if you are really against the war, add to your manifesto against the war a call to the Poles and the British to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. The supply of weapons will not help anything, it only inflates and delays the conflict and increases the number of victims. Just be objective.

[eolme]

@medikoo

Oh yeah, I remembered about the dead kids. Don't you remember the evil Russians bombing kindergartens? So tell me why kindergartens work in war? Oh, yeah, and all the people are in bomb shelters. How is that possible?

But the bombing of kindergartens in Donbass is real. Thousands of dead. And why all of them? No one knew that their own army would attack.

So why, if there is a war in Ukraine, why do parents give their children up to die? I'll tell you, no one does. Kindergartens, hospitals, and any shopping malls are just perfect facilities for the military. If the enemy starts bombing, they will get condemnation from the world community. And that's what happened! There is a lot of footage on your favorite Twitter and Telegram that shows such buildings handing out assault rifles, etc.

[eolme]

@medikoo

Okay, let me tell you something else. Do you know why the army's progress is so slow? Probably because Ukraine's brave military forces are fighting back. But that's just ridiculous.

It's all about partisan units. The order was given not to touch civilians, but in fact the partisans are civilians. And it is impossible to distinguish partisans from ordinary people. This is very difficult on both the moral and fratricidal side.

It's even more difficult in big cities. That's why the strategy of taking cities in a ring was chosen.

[medikoo]

There's a new drone footage showing the destruction of Mariupol by Russian forces

@medikoo

look for more there is still a video from Ukrainian propagandists of how Russians bomb Paris

@medikoo

Just answer yourself. Why the building was not permitted, but burned down. Just stop for a second and think with your head.

So, 1) thank you for the shelter to refugees 2) just remove your naïve manifest from the library. Optimize it.

[medikoo]

@wwwmigel yes this video was made up intentionally to show to western Europe how it could feel if it's western Europe that's bombed in a same way as Ukrainian cities are bombed now.

Originally afaik it was posted here: https://twitter.com/3TrAmvL026aJRar/status/1502365878956007424 by People’s Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine

I'm pretty sure there are way more regular people in Russia than those order obeying officers. Police wouldn't manage protests if millions would enter the streets.

You already had some nice protests in many cities. Let's make it x10 and see then. Putin's Russia is not as strong as we assumed

Why don't you do it yourself? Who will go to jail for me? Probably you.

@eolme I would do it for my country, believe me

[medikoo]

Nonetheless. I totally understand that's it terrifying, and extremely risky to do any protest on your side. I do not expect you to do that (sorry if you get another impression).

I just want you to follow the truth, and when the time comes not to hesitate. Let's live together in a free world as friends.

[dmitry-ra]

Let's live together in a free world as friends.

Agree. And this statement is more similar to anti-war manifest.

@eolme I would do it for my country, believe me

Your prison is not our prison. People die in our prisons. Your prison is just a hotel.

good night @medikoo

i hope you a decent man and you will add to your code information for your compatriots that your government supplies weapons to Ukraine and inflates the military conflict. Take to the streets and protest!
