The situation in Ukraine is an inevitable escalation in the war that started in 2014 with the US-backed fascist coup in Ukraine that goes against the interests and wishes of Eastern Ukrainians
and the subsequent killings of ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine, like Donbas, DPR, and LPR, by the coup gov for resisting.
To be clear, I don’t support the invasion per se. In fact, its goal of suppressing fascism in western Ukraine seems to have kinda backfired from this after all, with the Ukraine gov using this as an excuse to suppress the left.
But the point is, what else could’ve they done? The US had meticulously blocked off all other options over the years. Russia had already tried to join NATO multiple times from even before the USSR’s overthrow and have been denied (since it’s an imperialist org whose entire purpose is to suppress socialism globally, and particularly supress Russia) and they already had the Minsk agreements which the US sidelined through the coup. Not doing something about it would lead to the continued killing of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine by the coup gov, and NATO getting even closer to Russia since the post-2014 US puppet gov doesn’t abide by the Minsk agreements.
Pretending the actual goal of the invasion has ever been to suppress fascism
Pretending I said anything else
🤡
And FYI, fascism is an authoritarian, totalitarian form of government generally know for suppressing opposition through force, right? Sounds a lot like RUSSIA to me.
Down with specificity! We want the confusion that arises from ambiguity! Things were confusing in my day and I will not put up with people being able to understand each other! Harrumph to you good sir! A harrumph and another harrumph for good measure!
In my day everyone was just straight or queer. You could get more descriptive if you want, but no one cared about the particulars of your sexuality unless they were interested in fucking you.
I do not give a fuck about the particulars of anyone’s life. Here’s the thing, if you actually didn’t care you’d not be complaining, now would you? Whenever I see this shit I just give a blank “Ok” and move on about my day because I genuinely don’t care.
I think it’s silly. That’s the extent to which I care. Which is more than zero, enough to post about it, but not much more than zero.
I guess technically I have a vague worry about the general increase in tribalism among gen z but this is a tiny part of that. And probably the most benign aspect.
He talked about it like she was totally crazy for being emotional about it and he played it off as “whatever, it happens”. The whole thing was very odd.
