Ukrainian Mayor Fined Again for Speaking Russian in Public

You think it’s bad that in Western democracy, you’re censored, oppressed for being white, banned from practicing your religion, and forced to have gay sex.

When you reach ultimate democracy, you have literally zero freedoms at all. They start taking away freedoms you didn’t even realize were freedoms; you thought they were just basic human behaviors.

In the Ultimate Democracy Experience that is the Ukraine, you are banned from speaking your native language in public.

The mayor of the Ukrainian city of Kharkov, Igor Terekhov, has been fined for using the Russian language on his official social media accounts. This is his second offense, as reported by local media outlets, which obtained a copy of the legal document on Wednesday.

The fine was issued by Taras Kremen, the commissioner for the protection of the state language. According to the document, Terekhov is guilty of using “a language other than the state one” on his Facebook and Telegram pages, which the politician listed as official channels. The punishment was instated late last year and the fine itself is 3,400 hryvnia ($93).

This is the second time Terekhov has been fined for using Russian. He was similarly penalized for the exact same sum last November for using the “non-state language” during a TV marathon.

Terekhov filed a lawsuit against Kremen for fining him the first time, the politician’s spokesman Igor Sidorenko told Suspilne Novini in January. The mayor said he will continue speaking to Kharkov residents in Russian, while keeping all official communication in Ukrainian. Terekhov added that he was appealing to the court as an individual, not as a mayor.

In the end, it is probably impossible for democracy to succeed, because it is against fundamental human nature to take so much freedom from people. It’s especially extreme given that democracy offers nothing in terms of quality of life, and actually ensures poverty for the overwhelming majority of the people.

Humans crave freedom.

Democracy is a system where, unless you’re a child molester or a professional slut, there are literally no benefits. It is all downsides.

It’s unsustainable.

For the record, Vladimir Zelensky (his name is Vladimir, by the way – “Voldomognor” is not a real name) didn’t speak “Ukrainian” before becoming president. “Ukrainian” is not really even a real language, it’s just a bastardized version of Russian with incongruent Polish syntax.
