No progress would be made there because they are aware of and hate all of NATO's war crimes and evil acts. Like they literally already think they're bad. Problem is they believe strongly in self determination for ethnic groups. Like its an almost Maoist pro-natlib position on Ukraine, just with the added "NATO is a necessary evil to be a bulwark against Russia".

I've said it before and I'll say it again 100 times until people here finally get it, its very easy to be fooled based on the kind of morality we are taught in schools that Ukraine are the good guys in this war. "The country being invaded are the bad guys" is incredibly counter intuitive. It took me awhile to really wrap my head around it tbh.

And people see those symbols you mention as just being symbols of Ukraine, not naziism. People dont get these things man. Its enormously easy to fall into the wrong side on the Ukraine war. I still struggle with self doubt that I'm on the right side of the issue because frankly, it doesnt make intuitive sense. (and dont try to lecture me here lol, I know the talking points and agree with them, I'm trying to explain why we're always fighting against the grain on this point. It just doesnt make sense to people).

I was constantly defending Hamill as not that bad or understandable until he went off the rails re Israel.

Nobody places 3 above NV.

You'd be surprised. There's a pretty large and growing backlash to the idea that NV is better than 3. Most of the backlash is just "3 isnt as bad as people say" rather than it being better than NV, but the strongest and loudest backlashers think 3 is outright better.

Oh joy. The oldest zoomers are having quarter life crises.

Yeah natural isnt a good word for it. But at the end of the day sleep disorders and ND people exist and have sleep schedules that arent fixed to what capitalist society deems a "natural sleep cycle".

The fact that lots of unemployed people trend towards staying up late and getting up late doesnt seem immaterial to me.

I say "capitalist realism" because it seems like youve internalized the idea of a capitalist work schedule being normal and healthy.

also I should note that during socialist construction in the USSR, the working day was very regimented, it takes a lot of work to build.

I think we are under different material conditions now that would allow for things like flexitime, 4 day work week and shorter work days, and otherwise adapting to different peoples sleep.

I already accomplished that with my no fiber diet and not drinking water but thank you for the concern.

Big thanks!

If it makes y'all feel any better this was a really poorly administered and unscientific poll.

Sample size of 1000, based on people who responded to an e-mail, more than half of the respondents were over 45, more people over 65 than under 30. (Also apparently more Trump voters than Biden voters?)

I do think this is SOMEWHAT representative of the American mind but keep this shit in mind as well.

I don't.

Then why are you annoyed at seeing us do it to others when they are doing that?
