    It's stuff like this why I can never believe these fuckers are anti-war. They love war. They froth it. As long as the circumstances of the war are as easily explained as the plot of a Star Wars movie, they're all for it.

      There's more complex politics in the prequel trilogy than in the average NAFO guy

      This child is the origin story for next Russian Voldemort.

      Let's all humiliate him on the internet!!

      But, seriously, guys, remember that bullying is bad when it's done to good guys.

      When liberals say they're anti-war they really mean "I'm against any war so long as I can tell everyone I'm against that war for internet likes"

      They love war as long as it happens somewhere else. It's NIMBY all the way. Which is why events such as 9/11 have had such a shocking effect, to the point where I can type "9/11" and you'll understand what I mean. It's not limited to USA, of course. The British still moan about the Blitz. The defenders of Imperial Russia (who unfortunately exist) whine non stop about imaginary communist atrocities and civil war, ignoring the sheer butchery of the WW1. Ya know, when imperial generals sent people marching into machine gun fire.

      I wish. I know some IRL and they take a sick pleasure in playing armchair general while "analyzing" conflicts. They're almost always tech bros and it's seriously damaged how I feel about our friendships.

      Maybe bots have propagated it, but there are people who just eat this stuff up uncritically and feel superior because of it.

        Encourage them to enlist for the Ukrainian army so that they're in time to parade triumphantly in Red Square during the Endseig.

        The style of fixation they have with war news actually reminds me of the ending of 1984, one of the more accurate things in that book really

    That thing they said on chapo about this being the Time of the Jackal is something I think about at least once a day.

    Some of the worst people on the planet. They infest every corner of Twitter you literally cannot avoid them. Say something even alluding to Ukraine (it’s not even mentioned by name) and they’ll be there harassing the shit out of everyone. It sucks. I’ve even seen a few on TikTok too.
