It is precisely because you won’t stop voting that this shit continues.

I already left the country and vote absentee for the worse candidate because you all deserve it.

(Jk, I don’t vote.)

Those movies killed the entire parody genre imo.

This reminds me of a fun story:

I have this super extroverted friend that I would sometimes take to parties. He was from another town and he would visit me while I was in university. I’d roll up to a party where I knew maybe a handful of people, and this mf by the end would be friends with everyone there.

His fun little party trick was introducing himself to everyone and then remembering their names and then introducing everyone else to each other. “Oh hey Jackie, have you met David?” Either they didn’t and he became a big social hub at the party or worse-case they’d already known each other for 10 years and it was this hilarious joke. It was very fun.

He introduced me to so many people that would ask after him, like “where’s your crazy friend? He was funny.”

Basically, if possible, I highly recommend taking an extrovert with you.

Amazing but not actually very useful yet, due to how unreliable it is.

Take detailed notes so you can sue the shit out of them if you get a chance.

Honestly it’s amazing to me coming out of the hexbear bubble for the last three years how uninformed westerners actually are about geopolitics. There no reason at all to belive this besides you want it to be true.

Yeah, one lesson I’ve taken from this conflict, is if you ever get conscripted into a modern war, don’t fucking go, because someone in power probably wants you dead. You’ve got russia on one side trying to smash their own domestic fascists and dwindle their numbers (see Wagner in Bahkmut) and you’ve got Ukraine trying to burn through anyone they think might have Russian sympathies. It’s just a shitty situation all around, and of course it usually affects the poorest.

The point remains this is going to go on until the west, or better yet, the people of Ukraine can acknowledge the reality of the situation and muster the phrase “territorial concessions”. Continuing to expend lives on the idea of retaking Crimea is not a path to victory.

Fwiw, I don’t begrudge folks in the west not knowing this stuff. You’re being kept in the dark about a lot of it, to the point that you actively need to be seeking out the truth from lots of sources. Western sources are constantly overstating Ukraine’s footing in this conflict, in ways that are quite obviously fabricated if you look into it.
