      People who apparently think just lying down and dying is the best option when facing an invading country killing civilians en-mass. I have a feeling their opinion would be different it was their family being killed by invaders, if it was their country facing complete destruction.

        Or, more accurately, people who think they shouldn’t be forced to fight in a war. People have their own reasons for fighting or not fighting and it’s ridiculous to think you can demand others fight for you. Go volunteer for Ukraine if you feel so strongly about it, they could use the fighters.

        Tankies are what happens when kids start snorting totalitarianism at a young age. Heartbreaking!

          Can’t help but think they’d be singing a different tune had they grown up in any of the Warsaw pact countries in the 80s.

          I mean, I get it. Capitalism has some pretty dark corners and it ain’t great for the average person, but holy fuck, the stock market didn’t invent greed and selfishness. That motherfucker been with us since we were cavemen. There’ll always be some fucker taking your shit.

            Yeah, like, I’m down for hating or even wanting to overthrow capitalism. It’s when you start bootlicking fascist countries with a coat of red paint that you become insufferable.

      It’s easy to say “you need to fight for your country no matter what you want” when you are at your home in a phone talking in Lemmy
