Natalia Ruś, besides known as Najka, is simply a popular 24-year-old right-wing influencer that creates content about religion and patriotism. However, it is not easy to spread conservative media coverage. Najka meets censorship and hatred all day, and even lawsuits from left-wing organizations accusing her of saying completely prosaic things, specified as quoting the Bible or criticizing abortion. About dealing with cancel culture and hatred from the left side of the web, he speaks on our website.
Damian Drozd: You are 1 of the most popular Catholic infuencers, can you say more about your activities?
Natalia Ruś: I am addressing right-wing topics due to the fact that I believe that in the media, especially those strictly left-wing ones, there are very fewer people who work for people. fewer influencers are able to admit that they are arrogant of being Poles. If I'm in the media, I think I should set the best example for young society. quite a few people are watching me, whether younger or older, so I think my voice is needed, even though it is very difficult. I won't hide, many discriminate against me, whatever I say. Sometimes they only criticize me to criticize me. They see my face, no substance what I say, but they don't agree.
What are your films on TikTok considered the most controversial?
It doesn't substance if my movie is on top, it's always on him. I'm most criticized for being a 24-year-old clean woman. To the left it is unbelievable that individual inactive lives this way, due to the fact that in all media, films, books or music, impurity is promoted. It is besides interesting in people, due to the fact that I should ‘use my life’, but any haters apologize to me after a while and say: ‘When I heard that you were a virgin, you lived cleanly and did not enjoy your life fully, you just cared and respected yourself, I became jealous and wanted to bite you. Now I am sorry for that.” It truly makes my heart rejoice. It's not about giving me the right thing, it's about God himself.
If I wanted to be popular, I'd be doing what another influencers do, but I'm putting people on the left and another creators at risk, due to the fact that I'm creating content that hasn't yet been on the platform. True, there are quite a few people recording movies about God, but fewer women publically say they live clean due to the fact that they're afraid of hate. I am the voice of this minority, and I erstwhile looked for individual like me in the media. Privately as Najka for Natalia I am an authority due to the fact that I am inspired by what I say, but I have a balance between private and public life.
And those were the main reasons for the media?
Yes, I missed individual who would call sin a sin, alternatively than whitewash any of the bad deeds as he pleased. This should not be done due to the fact that we make our own idol, the non-existent Jesus Christ, who sits in a 6-colour cloud and authorizes surviving here before the wedding, here for pornography, etc.
Another reason was the desire to preach the Gospel in the media. There are quite a few believers online, but their example and their cooperation contradict the commandments. individual publically says they believe in God, and after a while starts fighting in the advanced League, inserts half-naked pictures or supports and promotes another pathology. Young people now have a problem uncovering good authority in the media, which is why I decided to act and convert as many people as possible. I believe that hard times await us and that specified people must be brought to God himself.
You mentioned a lot about the criticism that touches you. How do you deal with hatred in the media?
As I mentioned, there are quite a few people who don't watch my movies, but they talk about me in a very bad way, they paste something I didn't say into my mouth, they over-interpret my words. It's not easy, but I've been very manly for 3 years. I knew what I was signing up for, I knew a immense wave of hatred would fall on me, but I didn't anticipate it to be that big. another influencers condemn my behaviour while I do nothing wrong, I am just talking about purity, as I live with God, that I am the arrogant Polish female who defends our country. I rejoice in what I say, due to the fact that I preach the gospel, the word of God, not my own words. I support everything in Scripture, and that's what I hold on to.
Is that why you thought about ending your work?
Especially in 2021, erstwhile I was accused by the OMZRiK of something I did not say (it is simply a situation erstwhile the centre falsely accused Najka of Article 255 of the Criminal Code for alleged praise for the death of Isabella of Pszczyna, erstwhile there truly Natalia only criticized access to abortion – ed.). In all media, a wave of hatred broke out on me just to make a large deal about me. It hurt me a lot, and I thought possibly it was time to leave. But I have entrusted all this to God and returned to the way that "I am a kid of God," nothing will happen to me, for God is with me, no substance what people say. He wants me to call for a return to Him and purity.
Have there been more extremist cases of hate?
I was erstwhile persecuted by people on a website. They were posting Deepfake films on it, on which my face was pasted into 18+ productions. They later sent this to my erstwhile employer and my parents. Of course, no of them believed it, but a man who didn't know me might think it was actual due to the fact that these paintings were hard to separate from reality. It's hard, but it's all giving to God.
What encouraged you to become a tiktoker even though you knew the specifics of this market?
When I entered the media, I went with 1 message – to say that I am a virgin, to advance life in purity, with God and with commandments. But I had no thought I'd be falsely accused. There is much in the Scriptures about persecution of Christians, but I did not know that I would be hated on the scale of Poland. I'm usually offended by people who are unhappy with themselves all day, otherwise they would say, “I disagree with you, Najka, but live your life there.” After all, I have friends with different views and have never been challenged in my life. Those insulting me in the media perceive only to what “head influencers” will say and lie about me.
In addition to aggression from private individuals, you besides meet with attacks of various institutions, specified as OMZRiKu, who has accused you of freedom of expression for a long time.
The first time OMZRiK wrote about me in 2021 that I commend the death of Iza of Pszczyna, which was untruthful due to the fact that I only supported the deficiency of access to the abortion I object to. OMZRiK so cut my words, I cried. In another material, I told the communicative of my family, who ran from Volyn and found that I was afraid to let strangers in. The OMZRiK considered it a persecution of Ukrainians. I'm in favour of helping all person, but I'm usually afraid of accepting strangers due to the fact that I don't know them, I don't know if they're gonna do anything incorrect to me. Now I'm accused due to the fact that I commended Mr. Braun's actions. I said that Grzegorz Braun stood up for Poles, Catholics and showed the another side of the war in Israel. I sided with the Palestinians who are being killed. In the media, this is not mentioned, unlike the Russian-Ukrainian War.
My great-grandmother Helena, who herself participated in various events under the German occupation, told me that “it is always essential to stand up for Poland due to the fact that this is our Homeland, the first love we should have”. OMZRiK is stalking me for being Polish and believing Catholic. They're not stalking me for anything else. The activists of this centre were never curious in any study of a Pole offended by a foreigner. Moreover, Rafał Gaweł himself has a final sentence, and he is facing a prison he does not want to insert himself into.
For years accusing me of this facility, I yet decided to sue him myself for libel and harassment. Unfortunately, the case stands still. I feel like the courts are extending it on purpose.
Grzegorz Braun's action well revealed the hypocrisy of the left.
Every politician in the Sejm opposed Mr Braun's actions, but erstwhile there were feminist strikes in 2020, no associate of the mainstream organization stood up for the Church. Nobody said "stop destroying churches." It was only now that everyone was abruptly outraged at the extinguishing of the Khanuki. I feel that many Poles and Catholics felt like people of a worse sort. Our needs, homeland, and religion are being pushed to the background, which hurts me very much.
Were you besides touched by criticism of conservative commentators?
More like, mostly conservatives are with me, but Catholics are against. It was most amazing to me that, for example, Catholics with their own companies do not want to accept me due to the fact that they propose false information about the sentence. As it goes on the net "Natalia Ruś", the first jumping results are about my expected sentence, which I do not have. The investigation was dropped. Employers are not curious in my certificate of unpunishedness, for them media reasons are more important.
Another case concerns Catholic priests. I go to church, confessions, support the Church, and priests in the media abruptly turn against me. I always ask these priests a question “who do they serve”? If we have the same Lord of God, what do I say is wrong? I have the impression that they service another God, in the media they want to be so liked by the crowds that they say things that people want to hear, not the truth.
How does your online activity affect your regular life?
Thanks to her, I met many wonderful people and had the pleasance of working with any prolife foundations, but worse times besides happened. I noticed that erstwhile I entered the media, many of my loved ones abruptly turned distant from me, even though they knew my views from the beginning. They became ashamed of me due to the fact that individual else online didn't like me, so they denied me as Najki. It is besides very hard to find a job, and many employers refuse to hire me solely through critical articles about me. Fortunately, the household is behind me and the righteous ones I met through my activities.
Do you think we should institutionally defend our own culture more? At the moment, it is very easy to convict Poles for “szovinism” or “fascism”, but if the foreigner insults Polishness, they practically have no consequences.
People usage words they don't know. They frequently call me fascist and Nazi, I'm even like Hitler. 1 day I heard that I was seemingly badly hurt erstwhile I was a child, which is why I have these views alternatively than another ones. I've never heard anything stupid in my life. It hurts me a lot that Poles accuse, 1 on the another and sue. I think that in Poland it will be even worse and more and more they will take distant our freedom of speech. I'm terrified due to the fact that I'm besides worried about others, not just myself. shortly there will be specified totalitarianism in which the main ideological line cannot be criticised.
Thank you for talking to me.
I besides thank you and warmly greet everyone.
