Uh oh. NAFO fellas are fucking up again and lecturing Ukrainians from a place of safety and comfort again. It's only been like two days. If you're actually donating and doing something, great. But let's not pretend there aren't people acting like shitposting makes them soldiers.
Today I made a thread about an easy but very meaningful way people in other countries can aid Ukraine and get justice against russia, so it's not like I'm saying you don't help.
But again:

-Don't lecture Ukrainians

-Don't lecture people actually in Ukraine unless they're doing something illegal or immoral

-NAFO is not more important than Ukraine. When you cease to support Ukraine, NAFO becomes meaningless
Here's a link to that thread about what you can do. And it will be necessary well after the war ends.

Folks, if it doesn't apply to you, then it doesn't apply to you. Move on. If it upsets you hearing this, it probably applies to you.

Uh oh, fellas. I'm done for. Teenage commie reddit nerds have found me. If you want to see a threat of coping, seething, and cringe, look no further. (Thanks @GercakBenjamin )

My favorite of the genre is the comments about "avoiding Frontline combat" and not being in Bakhmut, which they think is the only place any fighting is happening, apparently. From their POV, wouldn't that be good? It's not like they're rooting from Ukraine.
Like if there was a 100% undeniable video of me gunning down 80 Wagner mercs near Bakhmut, it's not like they're going to say "credit where due, this guy's a hero." No, it's just "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi..." So why even try to go that route.

I think the also miss the big picture that liberalism wins because it is flexible. You don't have to be a liberal and sign on to a specific ideology to get by in a liberal society, whereas other political alternatives require everyone to sign on to something like that.
For example, communists and socialists thrived in the US in the 20s and 30s despite open suppression. How did liberals fare in 1930s USSR?
The problem with ideologies running the state is that they inevitably turn relatively innocuous acts into something subversive. If people can become revolutionaries just by listening to certain music or wearing certain colors, you're just daring more people to resist.

Folks, if you can't directly help Ukraine for practical financial reasons here's one very meaningful thing you can do not just for Ukraine, but your own country and the world. THREAD
As NAFO has highlighted, man countries, especially Western ones, have people who make a career off of defend Russian fascism and imperialism. While many of these people are hard right types who are typically despised for their bigotry, there are many who don't face social costs.
These are the Grayzone, Stop the War Coalition, Codepink types. These people will often work with the far right but try generally shod themselves with left, progressive sounding rhetoric about peace and welfare at home. They are frauds.

0 days without having to remind people that I don't owe them shit just because they have a shiba avatar.
"bUt wE'rE oN tHe SaMe TeAm!" LOL no, you are not on my fucking team. And you fighting russians on Twitter doesn't make you a soldier in the ZSU, nor a volunteer, an emergency worker, or even an ordinary Ukrainian civilian trying to get by. Understand the difference.
Your cartoon dog avi does not:

-make you a soldier in this war

-make you a civilian experiencing this war

-entitle you to some kind of professional courtesy and/or immunity from people who are living this war

Your cartoon dog avi does:

-indicate you have a cartoon dog avi

Sincere thanks to a real one. Sometimes other fellas forget that they are spectators in this war, but for people in Ukraine it is very real. Nearly every day people confront death and suffering. You trade memes. Keep perspective.
Dark humor keeps me going and in this way I'm like many Ukrainians, but you see only the memes. It's easy to forget that every day someone learns they've lost a friend, a lover, a child. Every day people huddle in bomb shelters or go without electricity and/or water.
I had a wounded guy talking to me just before he detonated another mine. I loaded his body into a truck. I heard his wounded buddy crying. I've got thick skin and I can take it but just know that this is the reality. It's not memes.

Since I've got time, another thread: the idea that Russia must inevitably win this war because "human waves" betrays a poor understanding of Russian military history, whereby Russia is this juggernaut which may lose initially, but ultimately win because numbers. Let's fix this.
First, let's look at 🇷🇺's military record after Napoleon, who lost for completely logical reasons. Crimean War, L. 1905 war against an emerging imperial power, L. WWI, L. First Chechen War, L. Second Chechen War, W by turning some rebels and paying tribute to Grozny ever since.
Now I must treat the USSR differently because this gets complicated. If the Whites were "Russia," the civil war was a big L despite direct foreign intervention. If the Bolsheviks were Russia, they lost to Poland. Now about WW2, because this is where people get the wrong ideas.
