How’d it go?
Was gonna add an update but hexbear shit the bed all day. Added to post. I pushed back on the offensiveness so it ended up resulting in a blanket ban on political content.
“The war has touched me. I used to order breast milk from the suburbs of Kiev, now I have to order inferior Lithuanian breast milk to make the cheese I feed during our soirees en tete-a-tete.”
i’m sure you already know people directly affected by this war, but if you don’t and need a good “I know someone with family in Ukraine and they think ____” (because lived experience is a wedge you can use in conversations with liberals, at least sometimes) – feel free to tell them that your friend worker_bear (make up a cool name) has family fighting on the frontlines, and appreciates when Americans don’t blindly buy into narratives that call for ever-escalating bloodshed, since it ain’t their cousins and nephews who are going to die in the firefights.
if they ask “well what does worker_bear suggest we do about it,” I wrote a very rushed piece about a year ago when the war broke out (wrote over 2-3 sleepless days/nights, admittedly it could use some editing), but you can send them this: https://medium.com/@pyotrbarannikov/what-is-happening-in-ukraine-and-what-can-we-do-about-it-cbc6902d6c50
good luck comrade o7. as others have mentioned, don’t get yourself fired. Habermas was a dork anyway
Hi Hexbear! When the war broke out, I spent zero seconds learning about the historical context before deciding I agreed with everything the news was telling me. I then dismissed the Russian narratives and justifications as baseless propaganda without even hearing them, and I could not tell you what they are if asked. Based on that analysis, it seems to me that the war is like, really black and white with clear cut good guys and bad guys, so I’m here to call you all brainwashed fascists for thinking otherwise. But could somebody explain why I keep getting replies of an image of a pig with shit on its testicles? Thanks.
