that's it I’m tired of this nonsense. I’m going to launch a unilateral invasion of both countries then make Russia and ukraine shake hands and promise to be friends again

My dude, one of my clearest memories is being 15 years old, sat in my comfy chair in my room watching Colin Powell present to the UN the US case against Iraq and their weapons of mass destruction. A bunch of vague intercepted communications. Some anonymous intelligence sources. Satellite pictures of bunkers with trucks in front of them one day and no trucks some other day. Weird mockups of mobile bioweapons labs in trucks, and most preposterously in trains, so they could move around and be impossible for weapons inspectors to find. I remember getting up and grabbing my high school atlas and doing exactly what my high school geopgraphy class had taught me: look it up. So I flipped to the page which had the map of Iraq including its rail grid. Iraq had and has basically three loving rail lines.

For an example, I very much enjoy Dutch cabaret, which is very similar but not exactly the same as Anglo stand up comedy. I've sat in my home towns packed theater listening to a comedian go into great detail on how exactly our government sucks, fucks us over and lies about it to standing ovations and cheers of thousands of adults more times than I can remember. Then when the next elections roll around, I am one of a literal handful who votes for meaningful change. So many discussions with people grumbling about politics and politicians, yet when it comes down to it, none of them mean a word of it. It still breaks my brain sometimes.

All of this poo poo set off my bullshit alarm something fierce, and the mobile rail biolabs one was even one I could prove, in my room, using random loving high school supplies.

So many discussions with people grumbling about politics and politicians, yet when it comes down to it, none of them mean a word of it. It still breaks my brain sometimes.

The point is, liberal governments tell not just lies, but obvious lies, all the drat time. And liberal media will report those lies with all reverence and seriousness. And the liberal hoi polloi will lap that poo poo up. And if you try to refute the obvious lies you need a whole bunch of paragraphs of dry facts and background to make your case. If there's one thing spending way too much time argueing on the internet for the last 2 decades has taught me, it's that if you write a bunch of paragraphs (like I'm doing now lol), you've already lost. Because liberals don't give a solitary gently caress about facts. We are the atypical ones for caring about facts.

So many discussions with people grumbling about politics and politicians, yet when it comes down to it, none of them mean a word of it. It still breaks my brain sometimes.

The thing that's been tripping me up ever since is fully dealing with the fact that friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, just all the regular people I meet in my day to day life seeming to be decent and generally intelligent enough people *are* those liberal hoi polloi.

When I was younger, I keyed a car because it had an iron cross decal on it. I was drunk and my friends were begging me not to and it seemed like bravery at the time and at the time I felt so proud. Now, there are fascist slogans on every other loving car - I just cannot carve enough dicks. What's the point? They'd take it as vindication anyway.

I stopped keying cars when I realized the person who owned the type of cars I keyed would love to pull out their m&p shield and mag dump into my doughy rear end

I've been ignoring most news out of Bakhmut since it's been mired in a grinding positional battle for like literally half the war, but it seems like the latest round of combat has been more intense than usual. This pro-Ukraine account claims that the AFU suffered 500 dead (not casualties, dead) 500 wounded (I switched around cargo 200 and cargo 300 on accident) in Bakhmut Saturday and Sunday alone.

I haven’t been paying attention, how’s the war been going for the past few weeks? Last I heard, the Russians were falling back and had lost control of a couple major cities.

it seems like Russia has basically lost and can't really hope to do anything more than hold on to the territory they/the republics controlled in January but there's still plenty of killing and dying to be done until everyone comes to terms
