Together with the attack on web anonymity, sounds like Greek officials really fear those whom they govern. Sadly the anti-cash and anti-anonymity (marketed as anti-corruption and pro-age verification) astroturfing by “thought leaders” is plenty in Ukraine too.

According to the article, the Israeli buyer denies knowing the wheat is stolen from Ukraine, but I think that’s disingenuous from him. When you’re buying from Russian big business, you already know you’re supporting the empire and what it does.

I think you’re right, there’s need for articles by investigative journalists specialized in European far-right networks research to counter the spin machine of 3rd corps (of which OP’s link is a blatant example). Both domestically and internationally. Unfortunately, this niche is currently void, as the most knowledgeable people formerly dedicated to antifascist journalism are busy in the military now. I encourage people to read the archives of Liva Sprava and Nihilist (if you know the languages), because these blogs were an excellent example of Ukrainians being critically honest about Ukrainian politics, which IMO is the real patriotism.

To read more about the background of Biletskyi, particularly about his promotion of racial cleansing and his article encouraging a “crusade against subhumanity lead by semites”: https://www.nihilist.li/2014/11/09/chto-nam-v-nih-ne-nravitsya-i-andrej-biletskij/

That was from 2014, but more recently, in 2020, Biletskyi and his goons assaulted their own former affilitates (according to their lawyer) who have a reputation of not being far-right enough: https://texty.org.ua/fragments/100953/bileckyj-pobyv-kolyshnih-pobratymiv-za-pidtrymku-sternenka-advokat/

This is the leader, a general. Imagine what lower-ranking soldiers get away with because of the lack of media scrutiny and international attention.

No, I’m Ukrainian. It’s not people who talk about the bad apples that are discrediting the force, it’s the bad apples and those in the force who help them get away with it. There are very dark parts of our society that are unfortunately being whitewashed in the media, even made cult-like, especially for and by Western publications, as long as they have high military reputation. Some of them are fast-tracking neo-Nazis, such as the founder and head of 3rd corps Andrii Biletskyi, into politically respectable figures. Right-wingers who send death threats and do physical attacks on eco-activists, LGBT people, women and immigrants, get a free pass by joining military units, specifically 3rd corps, but not only. I brought the link to highlight how the media spin wing of 3rd corps gives positive publicity to people who do real evil shit. This isn’t isolated, people are just scared of talking about it.

3rd corps is a right-wing division that is recently known for refusing to comment on their members, Vikarii brothers who raped their sisters and killed one by forced hunger, according to Nadia, the survivor. https://babel.ua/texts/126202-tretya-shturmova-opublikuvala-video-pro-matir-yaka-vidpustila-na-front-simoh-siniv-pislya-cogo-jihnya-ridna-sestra-rozkazala-pro-zgvaltuvannya-i-vbivstvo-v-rodini-babel-pidnyav-istoriyu-20-richnoji-da

The Vi editing mode in Kate is also good, without a need to install any extensions, just one tick in the settings.

My netbook has a keyboard without Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, Ins and Del keys. Vim and Emacs modes make it significantly more usable while remaining small. Vim is also convenient in Termux, for quick remote fixes from a phone.

Chimera uses udev and elogind, almost unavoidable on desktops. One is a major part of systemd, the other is a fork of another major part of systemd backporting updates from systemd upstream. Trying new distros is good, just let’s not mislead ourselves, apart from switching to the BSDs altogether, boycotting systemd is only possible at the moment when building an embedded system or a server.
