Current events dictate that I post this.

Either they’re all ironic and OP sides with Russa over Ukraine or none of them are ironic and OP sides with Israel.

I don’t like it. Fuck Netanyahu and Fuck Russia.

I absolutely and unequivocally side with Palestine (half of my family is Palestinian) and Ukraine.

It’s jokes. It’s a shitposting group. I shitposted.

I do not stand with Russia or Israel. Both of those regimes go against everything that means basically anything to me. They are evil, along with the USA, which I live in unfortunately.

I’m glad I’m finally seeing someone else that’s actually both pro-palestine AND pro-ukraine for once. It’s usually mutually exclusive — I don’t understand why. Literally every single pro-palestine person I’ve seen otherwise has been pretty vocally anti-Ukraine.

That’s mostly the internet though. If I talk to my friends and almost all my colleagues, they overwhelmingly and strongly hold these two views.

For instance, at the lunch table at work (about 8 ppl there, somewhere in Europe, during a discussion about Trump) I uttered the phrase “I think we need to start viewing the US as an enemy state under the current administration”, fully expecting to set off a fierce discussion. Instead everyone was like, “yup, sounds about right” and carried on with their lunch.

Point is: talk to people outside the internet and they may surprise you.

I’m glad it’s better over there, because in my [limited] friend group and family, nobody is pro-ukraine.
I do realise that I’m inside a different kind of social bubble and that not everyone is like that, and I’m sorry to hear that yours doesn’t align with your views. But they are out there!
