https://u24.gov.ua/ https://u24.gov.ua/ You can choose the allocation of your donation, defence, or if you'd rather donate to other causes, humanitarian aid, demining, rebuilding (...) A few months ago in my city, an ambulance shelled by Russians in kharkiv was shown. It was quite destroyed, and chock full of holes. It was quite moving

@dang perhaps you could pin https://u24.gov.ua/ https://u24.gov.ua/ to the top of the comments? Either way, I've donated 50 bucks; seems like a great way to show support on a difficult day for Ukraine.

  An explicit endorsement of Ukraine seems a little weird as an official stance from HN.

    Weird in what way?

      I guess he's saying that hn is "non tilted/neutral" toward any political stance, and as such pinning a comment to a Ukrainian donation gov website could be seen as "supporting" someone

        Neutrality is bullshit for cowards who want to profit from both sides. Neutrality is siding with the aggressor.

        Sounds good, but if you want activism, then maybe a venture capitalist site is not the best place to organize it.

        You just need to spin it the good way... Donating to ukraine. Now, with ai

        No personal attacks, please.
        arandomusername 2y ago
        I don't think I did any personal attacks. I simply pointed out that, if they think Neutrality is for cowards, they should probably join in the fight that they believe in instead of not acting, aka neutral.
        dang 2y ago
        That "if you feel so strongly why don't you go fight" trope is a cliché of personal attack, since it insinuates hypocrisy and cowardice. If you say you didn't mean it that way, I believe you, but it would still land that way with many readers, so it's necessary to disambiguate these things more clearly. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=burden%20disambiguate%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

      Most come to news.ycombinator.com expecting see ycombinator activities and content from fellow users, not to find out what Dang's latest endorsement is. When we all feel a certain importance to something content about it appears and bubbles to the top automatically.

    It's commendable and brave to publicly stand up and show that you have values. I wish more people understood that by watching Zelensky over the past three years.
