    I've talked a bit on here about my surprisingly based landlord and tonight as I was walking to my apartment I saw him in the parking lot so we smoked a cigarette and he asked me about Ukraine. I did my best to explain things going back to pre-2014 and US support for far right groups up until now, trying to give my best "Putin sucks absolutely and I don't trust the stated goal of denazification (though I support the idea fully) but here's how this is the US fault" etc. Putting together the most nuanced cliffs notes of the situation I could based on the discussions I've had on here and the takes I've heard from Ukrainian and Russian comrades.

    After about 15 minutes of just listening in relative silence, he goes "Thank you, you know I feel smarter having listened to you, and I hate to say this but, fuck the west".

    This man doesn't even swear often so it was extremely funny to me.

        Yeah we've talked politics quite a bit before so his skepticism of western propaganda didn't really surprise me, it was the "fuck the west" part that had me rolling.

        Also "I feel smarter after listening to you" is about the highest compliment anyone could ever give me.

        :landlord-sus: "No matter how we do land reform, we will keep this promise: If you like your current landlord, you will be able to keep your landlord. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that land reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix what’s broken and build on what works"

        I had a landlord that mentioned attending that year's red may event when we met and it took all I had to not ask him if they read Mao at any of them.
