i know. i think each country's current situation should be analysed with nuance instead of applying a black-and-white cookie-cutter "US puppet vs. noble anti-imperialist" narrative on every single conflict in the world. im a big dumbo.

The policies the Russian are blocking don't actually seem that bad? On the other hand the vast majority of Ukrainians don't actually want the EU so while the protesters may or may not have the backing of the public on this particular dispute they definitely don't have their support on a larger program of EU integration, and they keep toppling the government (or trying to) despite the fact they're considered (and are) just as corrupt as their opponents.

It's a tough question, obviously we care for the crown and british peerage... but still... Russia and the lack of those dirty ties to America, that failed colonial outpost of diseased minds and movements...

i'm talking thousands dead, blood running in the streets, etc. i'm so sick of seeing appeals to universal inclusion in the political process, as if the weight of what everybody has to say is somehow equal, as if everybody deserves a "voice" just by virtue of showing up. the more i think about it seriously, the more i realize the gross incompetency and arrogance of the so-called masses and the absolute necessity of having proper manners and values literally beaten into them. liberty and freedom to act alone isn't enough for coherent society; one must also have a responsibility to the entirety of the system, and this must be enforced with extreme prejudice.
