Is this irony? I refuse to believe that a human being could write it

Ok, guys, at least Mr Sam is wannabe Steve Jobs and not wannabe a Hitler’s orange hair twin

I’m sorry, my friend, I don’t want to sound condescending, but the sentiment like “if only all the people did …” is inherently flawed. There should be a material force dragging us, the people, into this mindset.

There were some opportunities in the recent times like the rise of twitter and COVID times where people had been engaging into the real politics, but apparently it was not enough yet

There’s the trick: what do you call democracy? Usually, the word “democracy” is reduced to the word “elections” and here the field where the autocrats like to play.

“Slave mentality” too

In my experience, this one is usually used as a token of some superiority over another nation or over your very neighbors who elect candidates you don’t like.

I just love to see that 3rd world events that were previously explained by “slave mentality” or by “lack of democracy institutions development” are happening in the 1st world countries.

Also, be brave in these uneasy times.

The lord of the rings? You were afraid of the LOTR?

Because I read the title and it did sound like what Israel has been saying for days

Sigh. 300,000 dead Russian soldiers have been named by independent media. A million dead is realistic. The number of casualties is in the millions. What number of 100,000s people dead passes the threshold for you?

Independent media like Zona named 112k, while, well, CSIS estimated 250k, which is well lesser than one million.

You too please have a good day and don’t forget to drink enough water

Yup, looks like it fits the definition without a stretch

11200 as-of now. Based on your estimate of real casualties= 3x identified casualties it’s more likely to be 300-400 thousand which is already a devastating number way beyond the threshold you have mentioned.

It’s just weird to remind that if a side, any side claims that it has 50 thousand casualties and the enemy is beyond one million, you are being fed with horseshit and you need to just stop eating it.

Win or lose, they’re fucked for the next decades at least.

Who are ‘they’? If you talk about people who decide to continue the war - not necessarily: the power and elite are cementing and the probability of toppling Putin is decreasing rapidly with each year of militarization.

If you talk about common people, then I agree, for regular russians that’s a disaster, for a tiny minority - the last opportunity to get rich.

If you equate these categories, you are a delulu

Over a million Russian soldiers are dead

Questionable. According to Ukrainian posters which should be taken with a grain of salt.

Also, COVID killed about a million russians, 2 millions die yearly. So having 1 additional million people dead in 3 years is not a big toll. That’s probably the logic of the Russian government - those who really decide whether to continue the war or not

this is the proxy war

IDK, really. True that NATO doesn’t want direct involvement and wants Ukraine to kick Putin’s ass. But it begs the question: is Russia a proxy for China or we just force the interpretation of the proxy war onto reality?

Didn’t think I would be alive to see anti-Israel post here
