more or less. my grandparents are already dead, but as far as i remember the last one living of them which i had contact with (my mother’s mother) was ok with lgbtq+ people (as far as defending their right to marriage) and quite concerned with the rights of disabled, but was somehow racist towards black and indigenous people, and could not stand demonstrations of social movements (i.e. sit-ins from landless workers and squatters, strikes and the like). my parents go about the same, but my mom is much less racist.

that sounds too adventurous. most of the time it’s just red dwarf.

you elect a clown, you get the government of a clown, i’ve already said that.

you guys had your biggest un mission in congo, right?

me and most of the developing world have mixed feelings about the war in ukraine. at the very least it’s white people’s problems. at the limit we’re pissed by the west trying to rally us behind a country that stopped black people from leaving when the invasion came and that is receiving many times the amount of help that many of us have received during catastrophes, against a country that, wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.

that being said, this is war and russia cannot complain that it didn’t knew what was coming. deal with it (spoiler: they will).

you vote for a clown, you get the government of a clown.

poor latin america who got these elites for starters.

if they d!e upon reentry, will someone pick up them cursing boeing on amateur radio?

my take: there’s no class struggle without recognition of other oppressions, such as those of women, black people, indigenous people, immigrants, queer and so on. because they can happen even within a revolutionary context.

surely having a low self-esteem is worse. life goes on. why bother over that one single log when you’ve got all the forest to explore?

the point that really got me was “I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?”.

in the end, it’s nato-stan all day long. tired of this.
