Ah, yes, the conflicts of the current day: Israel vs Palestine, Ukraine vs Russia, the USA vs the very concept of Peace.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 47 points 11 months ago

Last minute entry for post of the year.

In fairness, I'll take a both-sides committed pacifist over the standard "west = best" mindset any day. At least they're likely to have some principles in regards to human welfare.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 71 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Seems like they've figured out people dying in war is bad which is more than I can say for anybody with a ukraine flag in their profile.

Hell the people with ukraine flags all seem to think Ukrainians dying in the meat grinder for MIC profits is the best thing ever.

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that the fucking truth.

When I press people in my life about their outward support for Ukraine it's never framed around their support for Ukrainian citizens even, just around the concept of being a good investment for western interests to weaken Russia.

It's fucking disgusting. Ghouls.

I've even seen people on twitter who approved of maximisation of both Russian and honorary white almost-Russian casualties.

the bar isn't even on the floor, it is underground beneath the soils of lemuria

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah potentially they're a confused internationalist at their core.

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or a very committed deep ecologist. I dig their read on philosophy but their views on non-violence are the extremely Nordic flavor of privileged.

[–] a_blanqui_slate@hexbear.net 21 points 11 months ago

This person is almost certainly a Quaker based on the flag.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately, most of the "both sides" pacifists I've met will always do the "both sides bad B̸̡̪̏̎̆̄̄̃͒͊̓̈́̀̔̚͝Ȗ̸̡̡̨͓͓̦̙͙͍̪̘̯͔͙̥̇͆͆̓̊̀̏̆̈̆͝ͅT̶̲̻͔͙̗̫̮̯̰͉̟͔̘̩͎̆͋̈́̿ͅ..." stuff all the time, and will always side with US interests.

[–] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

Agreed, like i can't see this person calling Russian people "orcs"

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 86 points 11 months ago

This person correctly acknowledges the USA is against world peace

[–] axont@hexbear.net 74 points 11 months ago

This type of person would be considered as left wing as conceivably possible by most Americans

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 70 points 11 months ago

Palestine vs Israel, Russia vs Ukraine, Peace vs the United States

[–] Jenniferr@hexbear.net 51 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Who's the guy that Felix referenced who, when the rus-ukr war started, unfollowed everyone on Twitter besides Putin and Zelensky lmao

He is so blank-headed it’s almost admirable. His mind is virgin snow, like a Reaction YouTuber who apparently has never heard any of the top 100 rock bands of all time.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

listening to him speak, even about non-political topics leaves me feeling like my brain is leaking out through my ears so I guess that's how he does it.

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 49 points 11 months ago

A Blue Line and BLM flag would really complete this.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 49 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This person just really, really likes flags

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago

If they really liked flags they'd know to iron them first.

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 48 points 11 months ago

I like to imagine this as 3 feuding roommates, each with their own flags

[–] MorelaakIsBack@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago

"please burn this house down for an insurance scam"

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

somehow managing to hang flags with the correct vertical orientation, except for the peace words one which is upside-down

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Really makes the dove look like a flaccid dick-and-balls

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was a dickbutt flag at first

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

I always knew dickbutt was an anti-imperialist

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago
[–] Lucien@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago

TIL the peace flag looks like a ding dong when it's upside down

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 23 points 11 months ago

I'd like to make a toast: to the troops. All the troops. Both sides.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

Principal Skinner and his non-partisan election buttons

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

🇷🇸 🇧🇦 both-sides lmao

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

What makes a man turn neutral? Was it lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality? disgost
