But I never said I support cluster munitions. Fuck them, and fuck the Nazis.

I did not just engage in a few hours of discussion to try and convince anyone that Ukraine is the shining beacon of hope and democracy. It isn't, they have problems. So does every state. Some (like Russia) just seem to have comparatively more of those, or are not particularly good at dealing with them.

I'd agree in a vacuum. Even though I'd prefer state owned stuff, quality of life does not depend solely on who owns the infrastructure.

Stuff we take for granted like buying food product at the deli (meat, cheese) required either being lucky, knowing the right people or having US dollars in your pocket.

Disappointing. The other Hexbear folk at least tried to have a discussion, you just show up with the old 'everything left of my position is fascist' argument, expecting what exactly?

Ethnic cleansings in those territories are a fabricated casus beli for Russia 'green man'. There were tensions between Russian and Ukrainian nationals in those territories, but I've seen no data on large scale extermination operations.

Ukraine engaged in a defensive war with a force clearly backed by their stronger neighbor that just laid claim to another piece of their land (Crimea). This was a land grab in all but name, no matter how much propaganda tries to paint it as a legitimate independence movement. Blame for casualties of that war lies entirely on separatists and Russia.

Yeah yeah, I know Hexbear. I don't agree with their pro-imperialism, but at the same time they are not wrong with their socialist takes.

That's why it's worth debating them - they are not inherently evil like fascists are.

You can't write two paragraphs excusing Russia and then say "I'm not excusing Russia btw."

No country should be able to force 'my way or a military invasion' ultimatum on another non hostile sovereign state. If a government interprets a neighboring country joining a purely defensive treaty out of their own volition (no, Ukraine is not secretly run by the CIA after Maidan) as a hostile act, that only means the nationalism levels went out if control.

I'm normally very critical of the US, but neither them nor NATO can be blamed for this conflict.

On a surface level, yes. The initial proposal (I'm not sure how the final version looks like) gave the commission an ability to ban someone from participating in politics without a trial or evidence.

Done by the current government, this will be a giant smear campaign against the opposition.

Well, at least there is an in universe explanation for that with MeiMei Livestream going on. Also remember that those 2 are absolutely pushing the boundary of jujutsu right now, it kinda makes sense for people to get hyped while not understanding shit at the same time.

I really enjoy the character development in this manga. Like, in most slice of life rom-coms(even in Fujichika Koume previous work, 'The Girl I like forgot her glasses') the male lead just goes 'yeah I love her' at some point, and that's the extent of the development.

Ta-kun on the other hand, straight up asks what does it mean to love someone. He has no idea how it's supposed to work, being very out of touch with other people's emotions, in an almost autistic way. And watching him try to figure it all out is very satisfying.

Also he's a total chad.

Ngl, Aqua describing this situation to Kana would be hilarious.

But we're in the endgame now, there is no time for funny shenanigans. The ship is either killed on the second page of next chapter, or it becomes real. Aka please, let it be the former.

We are live here at AQUABOWL and-- wait, what's this?

IT'S RUBY HOSHINO WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

This person knows their slice of life. I'd add Skip and Loafer, but I'm a manga reader only. Heard the adaptation is good though.

Heavenly Delusion should come with a trigger warning. It's a fantastic show, but there are some very uncomfortable scenes towards the end. Idk how to spoiler tag here, but you can Google if you're concerned.
