  • Is there an English source for this one that isn't, well, explicitly a front for laundering neoliberalism?

    Not that I doubt that Russian (or Ukrainian) soldiers are doing war crimes on the regular, but a slightly less biased source would be nice if I plan to share it.

  • Seriously, have none of these guys listened to Rachel Jake's podcast?

  • Thank you for replying, and I'm sorry I read your comment in bad faith. I should know you better than that by now, and I apologize.

  • How the fresh fuck is this even a thing still? Even back in the 90's I heard dudes making gags about "Uncle Ben Hot Rods". You know. RICE IT UP!

    GET IT? They're shitty race cars made by a shitty race who only makes cheap stuff!

    🤮

  • True statement, but wtf? I don't think you mean it in a positive way like I do.

  • Keep fighting the good fight, comrade.

    A fascist posted today—did YOU?

  • I wonder though - if Russia hadn't illegally occupied Ukraine/Crimea, would that have happened?

    If Ukrainian neo-Nazis hadn't trapped ethnic Russians in a building and burned them alive, would Russia have invaded?

    My point is: there are no good guys in this conflict. Just two bad guys duking it out, with regular schmucks like you and me getting murdered for no reason. Anything that prolongs the conflict is bad.

  • I understood. It's an unserious question, so I gave an unserious answer. China isn't militarily supporting Russia. They sent some kids toys and the same raw materials they exported everywhere anyway.

  • How many guesses do I get?

    First guess: China. Bad.

  • China: sends Russia six helicopters (before the war), some children's toys, a box of consumer-grade hunting scopes, and metal. They are the bad guys who are prolonging the war.

    NATO: sends Ukraine weapons and military vehicles worth more than China's entire military budget, and provides training and logistics support. They are the good guys trying to end the war.

  • Why is criticism reserved only for the one that did not start the current war?

    Probably because none of us live in Russia, so criticizing them is a waste of time. Of course they suck, but there's nothing we can do about it. Nobody in Russia is ever going to read our criticism.

    We do, however, mostly live in NATO-aligned countries. We CAN affect change in our own countries. That is a productive conversation to have.

    Can you show in what way is Ukraine more right-wing than Russia?

    Nobody is claiming that. You're having an argument with a guy you made up.

  • Oh lord, no. Drivers are rarely held accountable for murdering cyclists. The "accountability" usually caps out at weekends in jail, picking up some garbage on the highway, and being real real sorry.

  • (That's the gag. The article talks about an annual $800 travel/child care/wellness allowance like it's the solution to this non-problem.)

  • Just give them a child care. What could it cost? $800 a year?

  • You don't get to be a billionaire by paying for NFL Sunday Ticket. Embrace hustle and grind culture!
