You see, while hypocrite liberals feign reproach, the Global South understands that. You can live with Israel as an ally, others will grab any helping hand available because they don't have the luxury to refuse. While THE UNITED STATES represent an EXISTENTIAL THREAT to the entire world, there's no other way.
Whether Russia gets on that level or not, that's a consideration for another day.
Don't assume I approve of that even a little bit.
Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm overly pessimistic about it. But I just don't think it'll pan out the way you hope. I don't see dependence on Russia panning out well for more than just a little while. Maybe it's worth a moment's respite, but I worry it only perpetuates the cycle, not breaks it.
What are you doing against it?
What the fuck do you want, man? I'm working all the hours I can just to still not make enough to cover my bills. I barely have any time or money for myself. I try to join events, and I try to volunteer a little time here and there to contribute to things, but I can't champion every cause even if I recognize it's one worth fighting for. Just because I don't meet whatever arbitrary minimum standard you want to set doesn't mean I don't care, and it doesn't mean I don't try to help make things better.
The cold truth is that no usian really cares, they're too busy scrolling smartphones and eating bad food to stop supporting either reds or blues to do the same fucking thing in the office. No real change will come from the extremely racialized and racist, too individualist, US society.
