I can’t comprehend how so much pain is being distributed to folks for a goddamn virtual line on the ground that says “Ukraine here” “Russia here”.
Legions of dumb ass men living in fantasy worlds where territories mean everything as if we couldn’t live together at all, despite the fact that we do.
“Why are they all shaking hands with Putin? Isn’t he a full-on dictator? Whatever, I have things to do” Me in early 2000s.
No one really mentions that today, but the entire West was friendly with this dude 20+ years ago, even though it didn’t make sense. So now it’s even more confusing. We let Russia do whatever for decades, we’ve been warned countless of times and now we’re like “holy shit, they really are doing whatever they want!”
Fucking idiot ass men in power, I swear.
Take China, which is virtually providing 80% if not more of everything we consume here in the West (US/EU) since about 1995. Talking about China being an enemy is fucking crazy. We’re so entangled business-wise that talking about communism vs capitalism is absurd, irrelevant and pointless. We need each other equally, what are you all on?
Globalization has intricately connected us all and there’s no return from that.
I see the plan to rearm Europe. A €150 billion loan, which will be paid back when, when Europe just like the US and China, are living on credit cards? Mad fucking men.
Zelle lost US banks close to a trillion dollars. The banks just killed their lawsuits because who cares about this unfathomable sum of money? No one, apparently. Mad men.
It’s batshit crazy everywhere. I read the creator of WordPress saying that Joe Rogan makes sense and is knowledgeable (since when?????), one of the Basecamp founder sucking JD Vance’s dick in a blog post. Like, shit is insane. Everyone showing their ass.
Exhausting.
