    Also western propaganda. Russia isnt ‘taking’ anything theyre liberating Ukrainians who have been under the rule of an illegitimate empire installed government since 2014 and have already voiced they want to be closer to russia

    Ah yes good old liberating the people, kind of like when Iraq and Venuzuela hailed the united states as liberators,

    best I’m finding on that polling is https://www.kiis.com.ua/?lang=eng&cat=reports&id=236

    To which, almost 70% supported open borders and friendly relations with russia, with absolute seperation and complete mergers both being under 15%.

    Also if they wanted to just let russia have ukraine why haven’t they done another revolution like they did their pro russian leader that tore up the EU negotiations they had.

    North korea can be propogandized like crazy because… unfortunately one of it’s defining traits is preventing it’s people from talking to the world. Ukranians seem pretty darn determined not to be “liberated”. Hell I’d imagine the war would be over pretty darn fast if the ukranians wanted it. White flags, surrender, get captured to protect themselves if their government is making them fight by intimidation.

    Yeah the big thing to me is the problem of the invader. Honestly on the grand scheme of things I dont’ care who does what… but what really needs to happen is, people need to stop going on the offense. US, Isreal and Russia are currently all the ones leading attacks in other people’s territory.

    I’m happy for China in their "my way works, watch me sit back and show you how successful I can be in normal peacetime. When a nation has to raid other nations for their resources or land, that’s IMO demonstrating what you have is unsustainable.

    Ukrain take or leave it’s intentions how good or bad it is. what’s clear is showing the idea that russia can just take it, is in itself a bigger problem. Just like Iran, I have zero sympathy for the government of Iran, I consider them barbaric and horrible. That being said directly attacking them, is a horrible action.

    I mean it’s a grey area there… I think the overall propoganda created after vietnam (Rambo movies etc…), helped people learn to seperate and understand that a war can be wrong, and the soldiers can be good people serving their country.

    IE maybe it’s the bubbles I live in, and most these memories are pre-trump, but I heard no shortage of people that could go off for hours on how horrible the war on terror was, how stupid and monsterous bush was to send so many to kill and be killed, and still go out of their way to say “thank you for your service” to men coming back from iraq.







  • I mean easy enough to recreate it with a more open database, but yeah key issue is userbase. Same flaw with trying to make a better dating site, or anything else location specific. It’s barely feasible for things like lemmy and mastadon where we pull from international pools of people that mostly don’t care if the other users are 500 miles away.

    When you try to do a facebook equivelant, doesn’t really go anywhere because, people don’t need just people, but people they actually know.

    and yeah trying to get “people in the same city”.

    as obviously one guy just reporting the gas stations around him, for an application that only he uses, is just a fancy notebook, and the real problem is would he continue using it long enough for a second to appear and make it actually beneficial for anyone.







  • My thoughts exactly… the country that we are actively brainwashing and saying is evil doesn’t have weight. On the other hand, if the whole tournament was say, The US, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, everyone else boycots it… that’s the kind of middle finger the US needs to realize just how badly we’ve pissed off the world.

    That being said, how hard would it be for a nation to sort of… host a non-fifa world cup. IE I’d hate to see the players and teams work go to waste, and honestly it being done this year on the personal level everyone could see it as the real one.
