If you ask reddit, he's actually there fighting because Russia is so desperately low on manpower after waves of zerg rushes.

North Star is the DSA's Democratic Party caucus. Their whole thing is getting people to vote blue to stop the uniquely evil Republicans.

Well you see Sabra could also mean "israeli-born person" so it's actually super antisemitic to talk about the shitty grainy hummus.

No no it's totally not ww3. These aren't actually French soldiers - they just serve the French military under French officers. And they aren't combatants, they're just support troops. Supporting the artillery. Who's to say that it's French people pulling the trigger?

Totally not a massive escalation.

Went down a wikipedia rabbit hole and found out there is a town named after Alexei Stakhanov.

Ukraine renamed the city 'Kadiivka' in 2016, and refers to the city by this name, however Ukraine has not controlled the city since early 2014.[2][3][4]

Lol

Two articles popped up on my work computer's mainpage (my gauge of normie news)

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/ukraine-war-toll-zelensky.html - Ukraine has lost 31,000 soldiers over the two years of war.

https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-losses-avdiivka-exceed-10-year-soviet-afghan-war-isw-2024-2 - Russia has lost 47,000 soldiers in Avdeyevka alone.

Putin forced Ukraine to bomb civilians.

All these videos of Ukrainian men being forcibly conscripted, I'm surprised we don't hear about more fraggings. Or recruiters getting shot while trying to kidnap someone.

Is this real? Not surprised that Hamas treated their prisoners humanely and the IOF gave them every reason to sympathize with their captors, but this is a glowing review. She doesn't even seem mad about it.

The west is completely controlled by genocidal fascists and it's hard to hold on to hope that it will ever change. Even our "lesser evils" are complete monsters.

May america suffer a thousand more 9/11s. We deserve worse.

My BF watches a lib youtuber (Phillip DeFranco) mostly out of habit from his lib days, but also to get a pulse on how they talk about these things.

Of course this was all portrayed as just a big oopsie-woopsie, someone didn't do their homework, acting like this is at all symptomatic of a larger problem in Ukraine or Canada is just Putin Propaganda, and you know, actually Ukraine had very complicated reasons why they might have joined the Nazis (holodomor!). But also I really hate Nazis btw :)

Running every apology while "condemning" Nazism.
