I made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something

I’m not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling desolate

When someone tells you Putler’s going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he’s not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly

    It’s funny because my friend group basically does that when I go off on political stuff because A) my sheer force of will, B) I have a degree in history (associates, but still) and C) they’re mostly laid-back nerds

    The one time there was push back, it was the member of the friend group we expelled because he yelled slurs at his newborn son while we were playing a game

      This attitude is so baffling to me

      US doesn’t like them so now Cuban people can’t have food and medicine??

      I know, I know, USAmericans and similar (assuming) are raised from birth to be good running dogs, but damn, just think about how you would feel in that situation…
