The pro Russia praise is ridiculous here. Putin is a shithead. Putin is in the interest of Putin. If it turns out he was part of the secret good guys club, great. But until that is explained and proven with hard evidence, I praise Russia the same as I praise Ukraine: they are both garbage and both their citizenries deserve better.

The concept of "sides" is entirely made up. The only sides are good and evil, freedom v tyranny. The rest is opportunists trying to exploit and divide us for personal gain. The Republicans don't give a fuck about you. The Democrats don't give a fuck about you. The sooner we stop settling for the lesser of two evils and shilling for the delusion of parties, the sooner we can actually make a bigger difference. The sooner we can start waking people up to the reality that they are more than just voters and workers. They are people who matter as equally as everyone else. No human life is more valuable than another (people who rob others of their consent excepted). Don't agree? Take it up with Jesus, then.

No ideology has a monopoly on specific ideas. Even Christianity does NOT own Christ. No one does. Ideologies are just conglomerations of ideas. Silly dividing lines to force people to adopt values they don't agree with, while surrendering others they do just so they can have the delusion of being on a team. You are your team first and foremost and that is pretty much it. Unless you are playing sports or videogames, it's time to walk away from our tribalistic nonsense. The only thing we all have to agree on is respecting each other's right to exist and have ideas and to stop trying to control each other. Everything else will naturally fall where it needs to after that.
