I'm fine with a tiny 15,000 of those "possible fellow travellers" getting a good dose of reality to leave the Wehrmacht- and ideally in the process, the contradictions and lies or the empire also being pushed forward a bit moreso into the minds of any such others with the same potential (human decency/empathy).

Also, IMO- it does not do our community (the trans community) globally or even within the US/west any favors IMO, to have token Uncle Toms joining in the empire's war machine, whatever their motivations. Just like Isntreal flying the trans or rainbow flags is no benefit- or like how Obama's election did no favors to the black and African communities within the US or outside it (as an Asian seeing what he did to Africa's most developed country and black wealth/homeownership in the US I have said I hope I don't see some Asian POTUS), etc.

Thanks :> tbh helps rn

ayy

True lol... while admittedly I know as a matter of fact that I am absolutely egocentric (but not selfish generally about it if that makes sense), it certainly sounds and probably was a certain way for them to assess me like that.

Kid me used to go around talking about how "pride wasn't a sin," etc. though, or rather I have always had- either an ego or the ambition to meet those levels of ego (and faking it till I make it sorta nonsense). Back at this age, not sure if I was doing the "pride wasn't a sin" bit yet (I think so?) but I was definitely claiming I "inherited my parents' anger/pride" and doing highly interesting things like hissing at people at that age (the hissing ended sometime soon after I feel? Hell if I know. More self-awareness developed over time)

Damn, didn't know it was- that recent of a thing? Autism recognition in schools that is.

Hell if I know where I'd wind up (though it probably would have been the latter). I scored rather decently for the ""intelligence assessment,"" but then I was a little terror (and still remain a terror, albeit a healthier and better one). I believe the assessments began because I was- in hindsight, probably stimming- and some other kid tried to busybody/stop me, ~~and I wound up in a pencil/pen stabbing fight~~

Where exactly is Russia not a "friend" of the left (outside of its domestic policies and social reactionaryism)?

In resisting the western dominated world order, by necessity Russia is one of the more actively anti-imperialist states out there, for starters.

Their championing the cause of de-dollarization (again, by necessity) and assisting in uplifting/working together with the global south to develop their material conditions (developing the nuclear power plant in Burkina Faso for instance) are also absolutely amazing.

There's no excuse for their domestic reactionaryism, but in almost every aspect otherwise and outside their borders they are a friend- a circumstantial friend, perhaps, and one to be approached with some skepticism- but a friend all th same IMO.

The Biden admin certainly contributed to inflation in a massive degree. It's always a nigh-constant thing under the system, sure, but alongside the Ukraine war (which as someone else mentioned effected grain prices- but more than that has led to the crumbling of the western levers of finance, etc) and his continuation and even intensification of the Trumpian trade wars and antagonizing China, he's been running off that money printer in what I feel may as well be considered some of the largest wealth transfers to big tech/the MIC... (I'd call it tossing "bad money* after bad" maybe lololol- toilet paper money down the drain to endless corruption because the neoliberal disease is honestly hilarious in how ineffective it is)

Mind you, Trump was also abysmal. And the contradictions of the system are really closing in on them all so whoever's next will probably be worse, and so on.

Pretty much, the only ones who want such a war are the west. It's really remarkable TBH, the entire rest of the world is, however flawed, seeking peace.

Cute!!! Such a contemplative looking baby

Honestly it's pretty common for me, particularly after Gaza (but before since Biden as well). At the very least the out-and-comparatively-""honest"" fascists tend to believe on some level what they do. Libs know and embrace or deny exactly how vile they are, I have infinitely more hatred for them as a result now that they're all going on their usual high horse about yellow peril (strike 1), Russian "orcs" (strike 2), and then supporting genocide regardless of how much they try to shrug and wash their hands of the matter (strike 3, 4, 5, and onwards)

If shit were ever to go down with me in it (would ideally gtfo) I would rest... easier anyways, so long as the libs get theirs, what they support and advocate for, in full as well. Legit if I were to vote for anyone out of spite (as I have absolutely nil belief in electoralism) these past few years it'll be literally anyone other than libs, I'd even support an ""honest"" fascist over them (though I wouldn't support a fascist or a lib- not that there's a difference- ever, plain and simple).

All they need to do is stop the genocide. They won't do that, we all know they won't do that. Might veer into some dangerous places saying this but such behavior is real- well, they might be human beings but they sure as hell ain't the same as the rest of humanity in their actions and I'd stick to that and act accordingly

Underrated ship

True (probably also another reason their god, if it exists, hates them- the historical figure of Jesus' sexuality is very much up for debate)
