I made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something

I'm not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling desolate

When someone tells you Putler's going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he's not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly

Yeah, I usually have to open up with "fuck Putin, but..." because the US and Nato have really done more damage to Ukraine than Russia was ever intending to do.

Imma pull out the Keffiyeh and EFF beret when someone starts coping at me for being too political

redacted-1 redacted-2 to AmeriKKKa, "israel", uKKK and Europe

I've been open about my politics for 14 years now and it only got me accosted once. I'm surrounded by mostly reactionary Christian fundamentalists or apolitical Latinos so no one really knows what to make of me. Most people just think I'm joking.

Most people just think I'm joking.

Literally what happens to me when I say anything good about AES. That's what dozens of hours. of vice news liberal journalism does to people.

That's not true. Unless the person is also very online I don't think they say this shit. Most people I talk don't really disagree with ukraine being a burgerland proxy war or its long effort of building up nazi holocaust criminals and their organizations.
