So I guess I’m saying: don’t make the thing you love your lifeline to surviving capitalist society, because unless that thing is “making money”, doing it for money or clientelle chokes the joy out of most human endeavors.

This is a really good quote, thanks.

I really loved reading until i started middle school. And by the time i graduated i no longer found any enjoyment in reading.

An education system that takes away the enjoyment of reading from people is rotten.

Again please go join the russian army you keep simping for.

I’ve never simped for the russian army, if you believe i did because i called out conscription it sound like you are a victim of propaganda.

where’s this for deserters in the russian army?

As far i’m aware russians are free to leave the country

By your logic the russians don’t want to fight and putler isn’t listening to his people

If people wanted to fight there would be no draft. When you defend drafting people by force by the same logic you are defending it for putler too.

One of these 0.001% is valve ceo that many here on lemmy praise.

Because my donations are worth more than my body.

Ukraine army isn’t only in need of weapons and money they need bodies too, go there enlist and they will give you a mansion according to what you can do.

Answer the question, why aren’t you being paid to be a mouth piece for russian propaganda?

I live in europe not in russia and personally i’ve never heard of any russian organization operating here, it’s most likely that a western organization/government would pay me to work for them which is something i wouldn’t do even for a million dollars (no government is up to any good, right now they are spreading war propaganda and boosting military spendings)

trying to convince me and others that we should abandon Ukrainians in their fight against the ruzzians.

If there’s anything i would like to convince you to understand is that rulers don’t give a shit about people. The government will refuse to cede any land, even if this will cost the life of a million people.

Yea it’s called a war for your survival, they’re being drafted because it’s needed.

Your help is needed to fight against the evil enemy, pack your bags and hurry to the front lines.

You call me a mouth piece for russian propaganda, i call you a disgusting human being for thinking that it’s right to draft people and force them to fight in a war

if you don’t think it’s up to people to decide you are welcome on the frontlines to defend land.

It’s up to ukrainian people to decide what they want to do, not to the martial law or any ruler.

Fueling this war and empowering authoritarian governments is how we all end up under a boot. There are plenty of countries that are still in business with russia including USA (both current and previous administration). Fighting over inches of land benefits governments not the people that are long gone from that burned land.

Answer the question yourself, if you care so much about ukraine land and are afraid about russia why don’t you go on the front lines?

A stupid though process is to believe that something is good only because you are not getting your hands dirty and others are doing it for you. Ukrainians should be allowed to do what the fuck they want, if case you aren’t aware people are being drafted by force and many haven’t been able to left the country for years.

Recently men beetween 18-22 were allowed to leave the border (after two years of not being able to) and many left the country.

You didn’t answer the question. Personally i wouldn’t want to go in ukraine risking to be burned alive fighting over invisible lines on a map so that a government can claim its theirs. For this reason i do not advocate for war or back the ones who are forcing other people to fight.

And you think all that have died or been wounded would be happy to have over that territory?

Why don’t you go on the front lines to defend the land if you care so much about it?

For the warmongers here who fully back zelenskyy refusal to cede territory i would like to remember you that ukraine is in need for men and you are welcome on the front lines defending land.

Go ahead and bring up the tons of evidence that the youtuber kurt caz is a russian propagandist on kremlin paycheck

Meanwhile have a read about The Movement, an organization founded by an american who served at the white house to promote right-wing parties in europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Movement_(right-wing_populist_group)

We are not the same. Never forget that.

The average russian is as much brainwashed as you are

Yes, like I said, he is a Russian propagandist spreading division.

To me it sound like you are brainwashed. Did you even watch any of his videos? Are you accusing this guy of being a russian propagandist because he does right-wing racist content? Right-wing parties have existed in europe for a century and traditionally they have always been anticommunist.

Their strategy is to divide and conquer, they don’t give a fuck if it’s the right or left in charge. They want countries to start fighting from within, weakening themselves, even starting civil wars. Instead of focusing on real threats and issues they just want people to fight among themselves.

You sound a lot like kurt caz when he blames socialists and ngo for using immigrants to spread chaos. You blaming the kremlin seem like an example of redirecting attention away from the issues.

I point my fingers at Kremlin and their defenders like you.

I just said our politicians and governments are as much shit as the kremlin and yet i’m somehow defending it. In case you haven’t watch kurt caz latest videos he also goes around harassing “leftists” and yelling at them that communism is bad.

In a similar way he blames immigrants for problems you blame the kremlin. What about pointing the finger at our own politicians and governments who are just as shit?

European comission has their own mastodon server at ec.social-network.europa.eu. Why in the fuck they’re still advertising/doing anything on twitter?

Because they can control the narrative much better on X

The same way elon musk didn’t become the richest man in the world by working hard, twitter didn’t magically become the platform used by every politician in the world. One of the reason peoples still use twitter is because the representatives of their country use (and are told to use) it.
