You either get assassinated by NATO or live long enough to see yourself join them

Zelensky just removed Zaluzhny from heading the military because Zaluzhny was getting too popular and becoming a political threat. Important to point out that Zelensky has called off the elections that should be happening right now and that there’s growing dissent for his administration due to how poorly the war is going. Also worth pointing out that Zaluzhny has ties to the far right militias of the Ukrainian armed forces and flaunted this fact when Zelensky first tried to have him removed. It would be very easy for NATO to back Zaluzhny and his right wing thugs (the same ones that took part in the maidan coup) against Zelensky if Zelensky breaks with the West’s wishes. US intelligence agencies are very good at pulling at threads of existing dissent to create chaos and oust difficult political leaders

That’s just being a pedo with extra steps

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Spain making a killing off the switch to LNG since nordstream was killed? iirc y’all have like one of two LNG import ports in Europe so Spain’s actually one of the few EU countries to come out ahead on this war economically

Oh I thought we were fucking around with taking national liberation to its logical conclusions and breaking things up into as small of chunks as possible. Didn’t realize it was a piss take in the other direction

Virtually every large nation should be cracked up as well if you want to follow through with the logic. The amazonian basin would be a series of micro states. China has what like 50 recognized minority ethnic groups within its borders

There is not nearly as much gay sex on this chart as I would’ve guessed. Just the one bi girl hookup in the second from the right tree at the top. Actually is that a threesome or do you think they just all screwed at different points in time?

I assume most, if not all, of this infighting you’re experiencing is online. Don’t feel disheartened by the internet discourse machine, it’s entire point of existence is to create arguments so people have something to talk about since it’s (nearly fully) disconnected from the stakes of the real world. Your mileage may vary but I find people in the real world are significantly less interested in relitigating the debates of the last century compared to people online, even if they do identify as a die hard [your tendency here].

The police responding to an active school shooter by bombing the school and then the hospital and orphanage next to it too for good measure

“Aren’t you scared Trump will kill democracy??”

Dog what democracy? There are so many policies with mass public support that are nowhere near to getting enacted. If the ruling class just let everyone keep voting but didn’t count the ballots and picked whichever candidate they wanted to win would we even notice? Doubtful

I’m of the mind that the medical industry brought a lot of this skepticism and doubt upon themselves by being a greedy, shit eating industry that frequently bankrupts people and/or allows them to die completely preventable deaths and that’s not even getting into their hand in the opioid crisis. That said, fucking sucks that this is how it’s manifested. As always disenfranchisement in the liberal establishment is more quickly picked up by right wing populist grifters (in large part due to their huge funding base) than by left wingers with systemic critiques

They’re just going to follow America’s lead on this huh? I guess China wouldn’t be tied into the situation in a way they’d be able to realistically pursue a peace plan the way Xi could with Putin during the Ukraine war. Wild but I guess those carrier groups really do dissuade foreign intervention

I’m gonna become the gosh dang joker yall

I spell things correctly on herw

Reject national identities, return to soft border cultural cliques

Yea this is good partner behavior as I’ve been taught. Jumping straight to problem solving can be dismissive. It’s talking past where your partner is at rather than meeting them where they are

Actually thinking about this for a second I’m an idiot. What’s the solution stage for “my burrito exploded?” Pick it up ho?

It worked flawlessly for Hilldawg

Yea he’d probably be a decent one by american standards

Holy afro-pessimism Batman!
