>I would consider even a fraction of what big tech pays to be fair enough. Thanks to scarcity we can ask for more. Maybe in the US and Berlin/London/Amsterdam that holds true where VC money is constantly raining from the sky keeping the demand higher than the labor supply, but in most of west EU, outside of big tech, the pay of most IT & dev jobs are in line with all other office work grunts. I wouldn't consider the…

My point is it's not peanuts either.

I know this can sound very first world problem in the current context, but peanuts is always relative to how much things cost in your environment and how much the purchasing power of everyone else is. If every office worker earns as much as every dev then devs do earn peanuts.

Devs in the US and other regions have the unique advantage of earning far more then the median in that area, therefore not peanuts.

Like how if you're earning on 80k in SF you're basically in poverty despite being in the 5% top earners globally.

You're making a lot of broad, unfounded claims. According to [1], Ukraine has a "A long path towards integration" (into the European Union): > "Of course, it is not only Ukraine’s population but its level of economic development that makes membership so costly for the EU. Ukraine is much poorer than Bulgaria, the poorest existing EU member state. Using 2013 World Bank pre-crisis (mid-year) figures, Ukraine’s GDP per…

I was talking about the Ukrainian people and you're talking about Ukraine the country. Different things.

> "I was talking about the Ukrainian people and you're talking about Ukraine the country. Different things."

I think this is where this conversation is going to have to end, because I don't think this is a reasonable, or a rational argument to make.

We've started this thread by trying to better understand why many other countries who are in a way worse situation do not get the same help offered now to Ukraine - and you're response is now basically down to "because the Ukrainian people are special and I know it".

$200 for the social media post, she is yet to stand trial for the tv act. Listen to this and then rethink whether the russian activists feel safe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN1EkA14y6Q

Millions of Ukrainians weren't feeling safe since at least 2014. But it doesn't give grounds for asking for asylum. So to be "afraid to participate in protests because of fear of persecution" is not enough to claim refugee status.

There were hundreds of thousands of refugees from Ukraine in preceding years. Where are you getting your data?

They would be technically Asylum Seekers but you're wrong that Russia is safe. Plenty of LGBT people or anti-war activists will be granted refuge for instance by European governments.

Any examples when this actually happened?

Are you questioning whether European countries grant asylum/refuge on the basis of sexuality/gender identity, if those are persecuted in applicant's home country? That is indeed a thing, a quick search away to confirm…

The existence of the law is not an assumption.

I'm following OVD-info reports: https://reports.ovdinfo.org/no-to-war-en#1 Do you consider it a reputable source? Nothing like you're describing has happened so far.

If you knew you would be reentering your home country as a criminal under a new free speech suppressing law, would you wing it and gamble 15 years of your life or would you hope to get asylum?

Based on what you wrote so far, I am grateful you do not work in asylum application processing.

>many other countries who are in a way worse situation do not get the same help

Then why aren't YOU helping those in worse situation from many other countries that are not Ukraine?

Help is not a random charity, countries are funded by their taxpayers so the taxpayers in a democratic country should have a saying on where their tax money should go to for help or else their leaders will be voted out come next elections, and if many EU countries are biased for whatever reason to help Ukraine or Ukrainians, then it's their choice to do so regardless of how you feel about it. Life is merciless and inherently unfair to almost everyone and whining about the fairness of it on the internet won't help anyone.

If this unfairness bothers you then vote against this or put your money where your mouth is and donate it or go to the middle east or Africa and help the poor people there.

No one who called for the government to end the war on social media or IRL is safe. It is black letter of law that it is punishable by imprisonment.

Do you have any examples of someone being imprisoned for this? Or you're just making assumptions? So far all I see is that everyone detained for participation in anti-war protests in Russia were released after questioning and being issued warning.

Well, since it's not like the US where all this information is easily accessible and mostly reliable public record, most of what we have is interviews with people who have been released (and therefore must not have been sentenced to prison), but that still reveals that beatings, threats of rape and murder, and fines even for things which are on paper not illegal (like single-person protests, which are being processed as illegal organized protests because of similar subject matter to each other), are routine.

What are you trying to say?

I am curious why poster replaced Germany with Nazi.

At the time of the event, the area was occupied by Nazi Germany [0]. Whether you call it Nazi-occupied, German-occupied, or Nazi-German-occupied doesn't really make any kind of a difference here in my opinion.

At the time of the event, area was occupied by Germany, official name was Deutsches Reich/Drittes Reich. See any document from WWII. "Nazi Germany" name was invented in '80. Combatants of WWII never heard anyone calling Germans as Nazis. Countries were not invaded by people from Nazi country speaking Nazi language.
