I buy your provocation.
When it all started and I got called an orc and an occupant on the streets, I felt the utter emptiness, as if I was seen just as my passport. Some Russians got either isolated in their communities abroad, some said they feel that they’re Ukrainians now, others felt symmetric hate towards the world and bought Putin’s resentment.
It has never helped the cause unless you wanted to make the world colder, more alien.
No need to favor either of the sides. It’s 2025 and both are already complicit in atrocities.
How likely was Ukraine losing 50k soldiers, while Russia has over one million? Probably there’s no such chance. That’s blatant ukrainian propaganda.
How likely a cannibal was recruited in Russia, did eat his comrade, and the rumor was intercepted? Well, it’s possible.
Edit: I agree that broadcasting the intercepted messages is indeed a piece of propaganda. But I claim that it might be rooted in the reality
Yup. But might as well be true. C’mon, they take soldiers from prisons, what could go wrong?
Probably get hired directly from a prison where he served his life sentence
Ok, guys, at least Mr Sam is wannabe Steve Jobs and not wannabe a Hitler’s orange hair twin
I’m sorry, my friend, I don’t want to sound condescending, but the sentiment like “if only all the people did …” is inherently flawed. There should be a material force dragging us, the people, into this mindset.
There were some opportunities in the recent times like the rise of twitter and COVID times where people had been engaging into the real politics, but apparently it was not enough yet
There’s the trick: what do you call democracy? Usually, the word “democracy” is reduced to the word “elections” and here the field where the autocrats like to play.
“Slave mentality” too
In my experience, this one is usually used as a token of some superiority over another nation or over your very neighbors who elect candidates you don’t like.
I just love to see that 3rd world events that were previously explained by “slave mentality” or by “lack of democracy institutions development” are happening in the 1st world countries.
Also, be brave in these uneasy times.
The lord of the rings? You were afraid of the LOTR?
Oh, finally. The sexless/incels is a tiny part of the manosphere. We see them because we want to. You don’t need to respect women in order to get affection, you need it to build love and trust
