Staines [he/him, they/them]
The war is moving fast now.
This morning, Ukraine has issued evacuation orders up to 30km from the front lines around Novohrodivka in the Donetsk region. We might be seeing the start of collapses in Donetsk as the Russians push beyond the heavily fortified 2014 lines, and cut the Ukrainian defense in two. Meanwhile, in Luhansk, Ukraine is holding on by it’s fingertips, and Russia is prying them away one by one, seemingly with deliberate intent of declaring the region liberated.
The Sudzha incursion is spreading Ukrainian troops thinner and thinner, while activating increasing numbers of Russian troops that were previously restricted to homefront-only operations. Ukraine has essentially double the number of enemy troops they are in contact with.
There’s never been one of these “Hexbear is mentally ill because they disagree with me” threads that hasn’t been result of someone coming here and getting banned after posting in bad faith. – Surprisingly, it seems that the rest of the fediverse is increasingly aware of that.
Countries are really starting to draw the lines when it comes to information control.
Operation Genocide Guardian is going to be the suez crisis moment of our time. There’s no way it does anything but make the US look impotent and deplete munitions stocks further.
Libs furiously insisting you still have to vote for a candidate that has openly condemned you for being against genocide.
Excuse me for excusing Palestinians for being viscerally angry about what they are subjected to.
You don’t get points for trying to be unrealistically civil with apartheid occupiers who think you’re subhuman. The ones who literally cannot stand to be in your filthy presence without you being legally subject to their racial hierarchy will fuck off back to a country that coddles poor oppressed loser racists like some Rhodesian’s did.
The rest will stay and become a real part of the land, rather than a vicious, poisonous tumour growing over and consuming it.
My sympathies if you’re a lib who has been radicalized by the especially intense genocidal horror of this 2024 election cycle. For many people, 2016 and 2020 made it clear that hoping for a better world makes us stand apart from liberals. 2024 has made it clear that we are surrounded by fascists, who, when their mask slips, proudly display their fangs, still dripping viscera from ongoing slaughter.
It’s nothing we didn’t already fear to know in our heart of hearts.
In dark times, should the stars also go out?
