We compared land transport options for getting to net zero. Hands down, electric rail is the best.

He was posting memes in his community tab and that of his second channel (Adam Something else), some of which he later deleted, saying that "nuclear war isn't that bad", promoting a service where you could pay so that Ukrainian military would write memes on artillery shells and record themselves firing them, calling Russians "orcs", etc.
If you don't think that's wrong, imagine a YouTuber posting the website of the Iraqi military where you could pay to write memes in RPG-7 rounds fired to American soldiers during the invasion of Iraq, calling all americans "orcs" and wishing that nuclear weapons are used against them.
I'm not American... But in both cases, Americans and Russians are the unprovoked invasion force, they may not be orcs but they play the part
I'm not American either, but rather than laughing at the death of American soldiers, I'm sad that young men were deceived by their institutions and governments (or outright conscripted) into inflicting suffering and death and suffering it themselves.
College is insanely expensive in the US so lots of kids join the military because it will pay for their college if they survive.
Fully aware, that's why I reject blaming the individuals as opposed to the system
Thanks. I was one of those poor kids who joined the military to afford college, so I honestly appreciate it when people are understanding.
Idk, when I was in Mississippi they were cutting down giant live-oaks to make room for a shitty gas station. It was like watching the orcs rip out the trees around Isengard.
