Taras Byk: What Ukraine Can Teach Us About Democracy
“We are now already in the worse possible situation”
Taras Byk's special mission is the breakup of the Russian Federation, a project that doesn't seem so far-fetched after the Prigozhin mutiny. A civil society activist and political strategist, he says that Ukraine's Maidan Revolution, in which he participated, saved not only Ukraine but also Europe.
With American journalist Joe Lindsley, he discusses the importance of self-organization in Ukraine's stand for freedom and battles against corruption. Can Ukraine's example help revitalise the idea of democracy?

'SECRETING CLICHES'
"Each individual in the mass is insulated by thick layers of insensibility. He doesn’t … he doesn’t hear, he doesn’t think. He does not act, he is pushed. He does not talk, he produces conventional sounds when stimulated by the appropriate noises. He does not think, he secretes clichés." —Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation
If we want to navigate this time well instead of living as puppets, we should:
* Ask questions: Why did Hamas choose this moment to attack Israel? And who benefits?
* Examine whether the information source is free to be honest: When we receive information from Russia or Hamas-controlled Gaza, we should remember that these are not free societies with free speech. Everything can be orchestrated. Israel and Ukraine, on the other hand, are fiercely free-speaking places, where people and media can and do criticize the government.
We must keep this in mind when analyzing the info we see. Ukraine has shown it can do extraordinary things with long-range weapons. Now that Ukraine has proved itself, why isn’t the West hurrying to get Ukraine what it needs to put an end to Russian terror? 🤔🌍
