I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    I used to pretty religiously follow the Ukraine instagram account… Then they started making fun of the Iran attacks… Now I’m just left with a bad taste in my mouth…

    Slava Ukraine, Free Palestine, and Iran has a right to defend itself.

    I don’t like that they don’t much like each other…

      Iran has been supplying Russia with drones since the beginning of the war. I’m sure they are elated. The Israeli and American governments are a bunch of twats, but that doesn’t mean the Iranian government aren’t. Sometimes you get a war where every side is a cunt and you just have to sit back and watch them destroy each other. I just hope the Iranian people can seize the opportunity and overthrow the government, and that it goes better than last time.

        Yea fuck the iranian gov, but that’s completely besides my point

        I guess I didn’t say it in the post but my issue is that Ukraine is mocking the attacks of Iran while the US and Israel targeted A LOT of civilians. I just saw a post where they hit a SECOND elementary school on the day of the opening, so it was packed full of children.

        I can’t possibly have empathy for ANY of them anymore. Iran hit schools in Israel, the US did, Israel did, Russia did. Though I guess I never heard of Ukraine doing that, so there’s that at least.

        And yea I hope it plays well for the people of Iran but I doubt it. From what I’ve seen so far the US’s exact plan is the goverment topple which would at this point, probably only favor billionares and the US not the Iranians…

        Hence, bad taste in my mouth, all the way around.

            I’m at least glad I can still have a decent opinion of Zelensky. Seems to be a decent man.

            I don’t know about all this “Ukraine is full of jews / nazis” (the opposite of eachother???) talk. I’ve seen both sides and last I looked it up, there were a few neonazis in Ukraine (Azov military group being the main one I think?) and there were like a few thousand jews in Ukraine.

            Not very large numbers so I have no idea where those claims come from.
