i didnt quite finish that thought but i think celebrating the destruction of ukraine is barbaric
this isnt aimed at you tears, im mostly frustrated at my own tendency to get a lift whenever the russians advance. this isnt a progressive war in any sense- kinch posted in BREAKING --- russian military or Crimean russians block sevastopol airprt or something (2360 posts)

- from 2015 i followed the livejournal of russian 'communist' andrei morozov (AKA 'murz' (RIP)) who went to fight in donbas. his main point of reference was not marx or lenin but some kind of pike and shot popular novel which had a film adaptation starring viggo mortensen. they even had patches with viggo mortensen's face on it. i dont think he was a christian irredentist but his goals were obscure. anyway i would check up on him to see how the 'weird war' was going, and he wrote one piece that has stuck with me. some farmers had reproached him for receiving a paycheck to fight in a war that couldn't end well for anyone. his response was to first note that they were rarely paid, and when they were that those wages went right back into basic survival items. second he insisted that ukrainians would no longer be allowed to live a normal life. they could try, but it's out of their hands, they've been marked for extermination and right now (2015) they have the choice between fighting and not fighting, but in the future they'll only have the option of being victim or collaborator. i didnt believe him then but he was right.
