sometimes the dog is a beloved pet and the owner would rather annihilate the neighborhood than magdump into the feral beast

I have no idea how anybody thought Ukraine could win anything, seriously.

I wasn’t on this site when this stuff started, but I was telling people this wasn’t what the media was saying, the western posturing looked like they wanted another Afghanistan and were completely willing to make Ukraine into that. That was correct.

I also knew militarily the nuclear powers would only engage in a limited manner, and therefore strategically ukraine had nowhere to go.

The winning move was to sue for peace immediately and avert as much devastation as possible. Setting aside the moral highground or justifications of any actor in this cluster, that was also correct. Objectively. There was never going to be a dliberate crossing of the rubicon with nukes over fucking Kiev, for all the bluster and posturing, there’s nothing in Ukraine worth that blood spilled either way.

The only options were, capitulate immediately, or sell the nation out as a prostitute and turn it into a Russian meat grinder for a while, until the strategic inevitabilities came to fruition, which was always just gonna be russia going as far as they want to.

I’ve read so much cope and ignorance over the years. I’m super gay, super trans, really just a big homo queer lady - i don’t have any love for modern day Russia for any reason - their mandate was lost in 1992 - but this was never going to be anything but what it is now, a protracted, brutal, dehumanizing loss.

this is so depressing because someone i love is in a similar state.

can’t even afford to go see him, trying to make arrangements anyway.

fuck jimmy carter i guess but im just seeing my own family in that corpse

is it possible that the meaning intended is multi-valent?

my hebrew is dogshit so i’m not gonna die on this hill, you know, i don’t- it just felt like, really on the nose and i don’t wanna let it go lol

us will nuke itself, probably the west coast, and blame a foreign nation, as an excuse to glass as much as possible. eco-fascism follows, big chunks of the world turned into a cratered smear, the rest exploited down to its remaining yield, then we all fucking die

also we’ll get sent to work for a big corporation and that’s just your job now or else. feudalism but corporate and worse

always hated that they had the nerve to name their paper “the earth” lol

i dunno man, if you were in 1939 i’m not convinced you’d think what happened in poland was going to engulf the whole planet in a firestorm but the last several years, rising tensions/escalating fights with a bunch of nations in various stages of diplomatic and economic entanglement is exactly the circumstance a global war erupts from

stay safe buddy

I moved up to the pnw and immediately started hormones as soon as i could and i had this awakening over the course of the first few years where i realized i was willing to kill someone over a tree now and like, that goes deep. it’s really spiritual, religious, mystical or whatever. going on a trail, even one of those basic bitch “it’s paved and as flat as you can manage in washington” trails it’s like, yeah this is true divinity i will kill e veryone who tries to diminish this with the zeal of a christian trying to retake the holy land during the first crusade so

i feel it

i’m six+ years in though

isn’t slotkin a direct placement from some agency lol

man fuck minimalism people can’t do subtlety i did this up edit: even LESS SUBTLE slightly revised lines

how do you do fellow wink libertarian wink, just pointing out you’re giving the game a- it sounds like the thing it’s obviously a mistake!!

you know when you understand the intent but choose to be serious anyway? i did that, now excuse me while i cackle defensively

you don’t get power, be it wealth, infuence, celebrity, all of that, without figuratively or literally selling your soul. Your faves are problematic. All of them. You can’t name a good one that can also sell out a large venue

Bumping. Really need some help

i live where i can see several cybertrucks a day and unfailingly it’s a divorced guy energy wearing shades and i always point and laugh
