@benroyce I feel so desperately sorry for this man.

@benroyce @pmonks @quizzicus
then...(and I mean this in the nicest possible way--seriously, no sarcasm)...you have a very short memory. It's okay. So do I. And I know you have many conversations, so I'm not taking it personally. -
@benroyce this is an excuse to seize SpaceX

@JackMexa4 @benroyce Zelensky isn't a 'Nazi', but people should critize the Ukrainian government for making the leaders of the OUN/UPA to national heroes. They were Nazis, they slaughtered Jews and Poles before the real Nazis came along and then they helped the Nazis in the Holocaust.
There are also many neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian forces. Let's not belittle ourselves in ignoring this. It's a real problem.
The Ukrainian idoliazation of former OUN/UPA guys is shameful.

@JackMexa4 @benroyce Right now, Ukraine has more important problems, obviously, but we should be critically about everybody if they're neo-Nazis themselve or they're idolializing former Nazis from the OUN/UPA..
Having said this, Zelensky isn't a Nazi, but the question of Nazism will come up in the future. Espacially when Zelensky isn't the president anymore..
-
@JackMexa4 @benroyce Yeah, of course, but for this reason we should be able to critize Zelensky for going along with the Ukrainian admiration of the Nazis in the OUN/UPA. It's just wrong.
He shouldn't do something like this:
In Ukraine, a Divisive 20th-Century Figure Comes Home
Andriy Melnyk, criticized as a Nazi collaborator and lionized as an anti-Soviet resistance leader, was given state honors for his reburial near Kyiv.

@JackMexa4 @benroyce there's a reason you have seen accusations but no proof...
-
@benroyce I went to report them, and they've been suspended. @JackMexa4
-
@JackMexa4 @benroyce Yes, that's my fear. What will happen after the war? I really don't know but I have some dark thoughts about it. And that's really unfortunately because my soladarity is with the Ukrainian people. They've suffered enough..

@benroyce I feel so desperately sorry for this man. The pressure on him has been excruciating for years now.
@Remittancegirl @benroyce When this is over, the before-and-after photos of Zelenskyy will be as gut-wrenching as Lincoln’s.

@benroyce I never thought much of Meloni's intentions, but she's probably 10,000 times as smart as Trump. At least she's pro-Europe, as far as she shows.

Yeah, I know the charts are mostly crawlers and not posters. Let me have this one.

It was a pointless move on Trump's part anyway.
1) The numbers are tiny. 300,000 metric tons is just 14 hours of US consumption.
2) It takes a minimum of 30 days with no delays for a tanker of diesel to get from Russia to the US. So not until after the midterms. And it would require several tankers for that amount.
So it's not going to affect diesel prices in time, if it does at all.

All on the same team, pulling in the same direction. You’ve got the seven mountains christo fascists (Hegseth and various other members of the cabinet), the project 2025 folks, conceptually, old fascist, American wealth that have been capturing government, and then we got all the sovereign individual NRx tech cultists.
The first two factions intend to have a fascist nation, but the third faction sees nations as obsolete. They intend to dismantle nations and rule on their ashes.

@frequencyfault @clintruin @quizzicus
what the hell do you think a leftist is? Someone who whines as we slide to fascism? Who the fuck do you think AOC is? Mamdani? Angie Nixon? How the fuck did they advance? Because people voted, you colossal moron
Why do you think you get to call yourself a leftist? You vote, for a leftist agenda, you're a leftist. You don't vote, you're a pathetic useless whiner enabling fascism

@benroyce @clintruin @quizzicus My main job is to record and mix audio man. I ain't gonna talk about what I may or may not be doing against the U.S. and its government on an open channel. It's called Opsec. I WILL say that voting didn't defeat the Nazis or Imperial Japan. Ask the French and Dutch Resistance if any are still alive.
And a leftist is someone who for sure rejects capitalism, the federal republic, and admits America in its current form is done. Revolutions aren't orderly.

The wrong side of history... Yep, that's where the US is steering.
Europe needs to become independent from this side of history. China and the ruzzia are hammering a wedge between the US and Europe so both former partners get weaker by the divide. Trump is playing the game of the enemies.
@jangarten @benroyce
From my point if view as European, trumpo is one of the enemy. -

@benroyce The right thing to do "Don't let the bastards get you down"

your info is wrong boring old kremlin disinfo (see budapest memorandum, and fuck this condescending lie ukraine is just a puppet unable to desire independence by itself)
but assume, for a moment, these stupid lies are correct. for the sake of argument
in what world do these sort of typical frustrations countries have with each other somehow justify or excuse ethnofascist colonial imperialism?
it's "it's your fault i hit you because you wore that dress" level stupid abusive bullshit
