    It shouldn’t be, but I feel like this is such a delicate thing.

    Like, Trump is obviously racist, but his base sees themselves in him and when he is labeled racist, it projects to them; they’re labeled racist too. They “know” they aren’t racist and it’s a strong accusatory word along the lines of being called a pedophile and that instantly brings up defenses and basically kills any chance of swaying their opinion. Besides, if we were wrong calling “them” (their projection from trump) racist, how could we possibly be right about calling Trump racist?

    Should we give a shit what these people think? Really wish we didn’t have to, but the world isn’t fair and just enough at the moment to disregard the nuance here.













  • Anyone who has experienced the horrors of the USSR or Russia knows appeasing them or sympathetic to nonsense like “why they invaded” as if their reason was anything beyond narcissistic theft, murder, and imperialism is either ignorant or malicious.

    Please look into Soviet history, its involvement in genocide, its displacement of people, its alignment with the Nazis at the beginning of WW2, its subjevation and murder of millions of central and Eastern European countries. Normal decent people do not defend Russia.





  • What an absolutely disgusting and idiotic take on the war started solely by the fascist and imperialist state of Russia.

    There are one and only one people to blame for the deaths in Ukraine - Russia.

    They chose to steal territory that is not theirs, they chose to murder people in their own homes. There was never any threat to Russia. This is purely about Russia’s desire to steal and murder.

    You trying to frame American support for Ukraine as using them as human fodder is absolutely pathetic. You deserve to live in Russia.
