Things were going so well for like five minutes, but then the US had to go and start another war, and I can't find my way back to not giving a shit.

I know, you think Russia started it, but that's because you are grotesquely misinformed, and I fucking hate it. I'm absolutely disgusted by everyone standing with Ukraine. That's not what I want to blog about, but it's what keeps trying to come out.

I want to be neutral and objective and above it all, but no. I can't get there. 

Democrats are fucking psychopaths.

I hate being back on Twitter, but the fact is, I'd be uninformed without it, too. Getting our information via social media isn't that simple. Clearly most people on Twitter don't follow real journalists, and aren't any better informed than they would be watching MSNBC. That's the tricky part. It's so easy to settle into an echo chamber, where you'll still be just as wrong about everything.

So people scoff at getting your news via social media, but the reality of it is that it's the only way for most of us to get such granular up to date data to do our best to make sense of. What's really insane is thinking you're informed watching corporate media. They're so full of shit, it's unbelievable.

Russia bombed a "children's hospital," according to Zelenskyj, calling it genocidal, and the media runs with that. When it later turns out no one died in this alleged genocide, that doesn't get the same coverage. They also leave out the part about how it wasn't a fucking hospital anymore, because it had been converted into a military facility, precisely so that they could express this asinine outrage when it gets bombed. And you all fall for it, over and over. You want to know about a real hospital bombing atrocity, look no further than what the US has done in Afghanistan.

Ukrainian Nazis have been ethnically cleansing the Donbas region for years. Russia is right to intervene. Doing nothing meant more people dying every day, but no one gives a shit about that, because it's not what their tribe tells them to care about. Russia is offering a very reasonable peace deal, but people don't know about that either, because our garbage media doesn't want them to. 

We're told the demands are maximalist and outrageous. People argue with me, as if Russia is demanding half of Ukraine and regime change. All Russia is asking for is an amendment to their constitution mandating neutrality, blocking NATO, and recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent. You know, the parts of Donbas that Ukraine has been brutalizing until now. They're not calling for any changes to the Zelenskyj regime, but without NATO, the puppet strings would be cut. That's what the US is calling unacceptable.

Goddammit though. I didn't want to write any of this. I'm just pissed off because I can't stop being pissed off. Everything you're all rooting for would be a bloody catastrophe. Russia has to win this, or the humanitarian cost will be massive, even if it doesn't lead to a world war. What the US has been doing over there is absolutely monstrous, and Ukraine has been complicit. They need to be stopped, and I hope to hell Russia can pull that off.
