so, as some of you know i make music - years ago i had a buddy from Ukraine i met on FB through the music.
He was a dude i talked to alot because when i was up late catching a buzz and everyone out here was asleep, his timezone had him there with me lol
Dude was based tho, knew his gov was corrupt as mine, we had some long talks. He loved "America" and wished he could come here. and this was years before the Q drops n all that mind you. But yeah...
I Wonder how he's doing. Like, sure we think Ukraine and we instantly think the worst. but....
Can you be mad at a guy in Florida that lives near Disney just because shady shit happens at that park? That dude was a good dude and its been years since I've spoke to him. Who knows if hes even still alive.
Do you represent your government, my good sir?
No.
Does your government represent you?
Again, no.
Our ire is not directed against the good men and women of this planet. It is against the cabal that claims to rule it.
Absolutely. Like immortal technique put it -
"just because i wont trade my humanity for patriotism" but -
true patriotism IS humanity. It's being willing to fight for what you know is right.
That's why i mentioned "Ukraine right now has a sour taste to even say, but this dude was one of us"
Absolutely agreed. There are good men and women the entire world over, feeling just as sick as you and I over the state of this place.
They're our pepes.
In the spirit of music, i'll quote how Michael "Eyedea" Larsen (RIP) put it -
"I'm here for you
in the same way youre here for me
we're all just intricate pieces of infinity"

As others have said, reach out if you can.
First, to make sure they're safe and to reconnect.
Second, to obtain valuable firsthand Intel as to the flow of human emotion/thought as pertains to the common folk I.E. you and I and your friend and everyone else who stands to lose this war.
and as I've replied to others - I've tried.
I'm sorry, my good sir. Give it time.
I would like to reiterate your point that there are good people in bad places. I believe that is very important to highlight, and is a very salient point.
I'd take it to the extreme.
There are people born of this beast system that want out. They're good people, caught between a rock and a hard place.
We're going to need compassion for them who do flee the beast system, because they were forced to do horrible things.
