Russian Funding of anti-woke

It seems that someone has 'followed the money' and Putin's manipulation is everywhere amongst the anti-woke, including the Gender Critical. As the press rallies behind Putin by blaming the West's obsession with being woke ( obviously not the press obsessively being anti-woke ) it appears that so many easily influenced people have been victim to his manipulation and money

Confused, though - some people are blaming Putin for funding us - some people are blaming UK feminists for influencing Putin. Or something. Either way, this absurd and delightful crackpottery has taken my mind of imminent nuclear threat, so thanks, OP et al!

I cannot believe that in the current crisis, someone has tried to seize momentum around "Russians" and attacked a random bunch of women for knowing what biological sex is Hmm

If someone says ‘I think housing male sex offenders in Women’s prisons carries so many risks for the women that I cannot possibly see how this could be a good policy’ then I don’t care who they get funding from to write that in letters all over every place they can fit it. Because I agree with that statement and anyone who disagrees is closing their eyes to facts.
If people are worried that someone may fund this in order to ‘destabilise the West’ then the simple answer is to wake up and realise that the reason it might ‘destabilise’ is because nobody seriously thinks otherwise - it is all the pretending about this subject that makes it so precarious and incendiary. Forcing people to deny reality doesn’t in general go well.

Lol @dads'army arrows. This is gold, thanks OP

? ? ? I suppose reality avoidance starts as a prop, becomes a habit and eventually permeates your whole world view
Once someone's decided that they have a personal reality that just deletes or re writes unwanted facts into something you like better, and you're a meanie being cruel if you mention the unwanted bits or if you refuse to enable them? There's not a whole lot of point expecting them to be able to have a rational conversation with you about anything else.

As the relationships board reminds women all the time in toxic relationships: for reasonability to work, you have to have two people with the capacity for it.

Artichokeleaves · 28/02/2022 13:27

ROTFL

Oh it's not subtle is it? Grin Although watching the endless thrashing around trying to hook women with boundaries to anything smelly in the frantic hope no one listens to them, is at least entertaining.

Most of the UK and the rest of the world is worried about nuclear war, not pronouns.

Sssssh they'll find out about that funding too...

GeorgiaMcGraw · 28/02/2022 13:23

I'm sure that the Saudi king is also non-woke, doesn't mean he's got anything else in common with the left-leaning feminists opposing genderism or indeed the rest of us (majority of people in the UK/world if we're honest) who acknowledge there are only two sexes, you can never change your sex, and men and women sometimes need privacy from each other. Silly smear tactics after "no debate" failed so hilariously. I enjoyed the Dad's Army arrows though.

TennisQueen · 28/02/2022 13:20

Yea, no, it's quite the other way round.

The T and the Q and the + is what is destabilising our society.

dworky · 28/02/2022 13:17

He only pretends to be toxic masculinity personified, he's really a fan of Dworkin.

Beamur · 28/02/2022 13:17

@Fluffymule

Wow. Scraping the barrel and shamelessly making the tragedies of war against a sovereign nation all about your obsession.

The narcissism never ceases does it.

Nice.
DuckDuckNo · 28/02/2022 13:16

Oh Vlaaaaaaa-di-miiiiiir! Could you send my next cheque in Euros, the Rouble is not doing that well today

AlisonDonut · 28/02/2022 13:13

@Flapjak

Have a donut . Funniest thing i have read all day. Putin is more likely to fund MRA/TRA as these ideologies are more aligned. No debate, women dont matter, oppression of free speech
You rang? How may I be of cervix?

The thought of Putin funding radical feminists makes me gooey inside. Who knew?

ScreamingMeMe · 28/02/2022 13:12

@dworky

Vlad, I know you're busy but where exactly is my cheque? Been waiting ages.
Same. Could someone follow my money and find out where it's gone? Sad

@RoyalCorgi

It must be tough for you, OP, knowing that all of us Mumsnetters are actually posting from our beachside villas in Miami, where we lounge around all day in our diamond-encrusted bikinis eating caviare and drinking Cristal champagne. All thanks to the enormous amounts of funding we receive from both the Russian state and the American far right.

Let's face it - you're just jealous, aren't you?

Having a great time aren’t we 🤣🤣
delurkasaurus · 28/02/2022 13:04

Amazing.

Here for the deletion message when the OP does a flounce (but please please please let this stay, MNHQ!)

ScreamingMeMe · 28/02/2022 13:04

Has someone, aye? Grin

Source? Links? Who is this 'someone'? What are their credentials?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/02/2022 13:02

LOL, thanks DoM, you've given me some needed light relief today Grin

Syeknom · 28/02/2022 13:00

That map doesn't even show any money being sent to terf island, I wonder what we are doing wrong?

TheCurrywurstPrion · 28/02/2022 13:00

Don’t worry Manchester, your Mumsnet toilet brush and hat are in the post!

@TheWeeDonkey

I didn't realise I should be getting paid by The Kremlin because I know that men and women exist and can't change sex. Who do I complain to? And do I get back pay?
I'm terfing for free, too. Sick as a fucking parrot.

Seriously, it's a particular kind of misogyny, isn't it?

We can't have thought it through and come to our own, reality-based conclusions.

Somewhere there's a big ol' powerful man controlling and directing us.

Hmm
