Him, his family, the top donors and VC’s he has enriched himself with.

I know it has nothing to do with the subject at hand. And I know that my volunteering over there also has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Feel free to offer something germane to the post. Policy. History.

The bottom line of my original post is very clear. Ukraine is a sovereign nation. Full stop. The EU and the West have proven to be shit allies for the past 20 years. The EU will have far more to gain from Ukraine than the other way around. And it’s going to be doubly complicated because every major country in the EU currently either has a fascist in power or has a fascist movement nipping at the fucking heels of the incumbents.

Ukraine is going to get to a point where they can stand on their own two feet with a proper military force. And they should be left the fuck alone and allowed to do so. Nukes and all. Ukraine has not been given a proper time frame to sort out their long-standing political corruption issues stemming all the way from the fall of the Soviet Union.

Despite the war and everything, they are actually still making strides. So if anything, they need to win the war and be left the fuck alone to stand up on their own two feet. And they will. They’ve shown the world that they will.

If you have anything to say to the contrary, besides talking about your fucking hockey bags, I’m more than willing to listen. Other than that, shut the fuck up and move on. Героям слава.

Save your breath. There are European children in here. Literally not one point of discourse to be had from the lot. This is EU MAGA shit. Basically asmongold subs.

Children do their talking with updoots, not policy. Nor history.

I really don’t want to get into my personal affairs, but I have been volunteering every year since the start of the war. I study Ukrainian, have lived there for extensive periods of time. The fucking smugness… the fucking reddit brain of your response is fucking staggering. Slow fucking clap??? How fucking old are you???

Most Ukrainians want their fucking nukes back after the west FUCKED them with the Budapest memorandum. When the war started I was more alone in my opinions the the America is not a true ally, and further, the EU is marginally better. But after four plus years, most Ukrainians agree with me. They agree because it’s a fucking fact. The EU literally treats most Eastern European members like second class citizens. What action they have taken up to this point has mainly been as a fear response, that if Ukraine falls then the eastern part of the EU is next. The fact that Ukraine is a sovereign nation and has the right to exists on its own is FAR down the list of reasons as to why there is any assistance. If in some parallel universe it was Kazakhstan being invaded… Well the EU, and indeed the rest of the west WOULD NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK.

And these are conversations I have in person, face to face with Ukrainians and volunteers from all over the EU and North/Central/South America.

You could engage in discourse and bring ONE FUCKING SALIENT POINT… but you fucking come at me with smug, petty, empty keyboard warrior shit. FUCK YOU and your virtue signalling nonsense. Get back to me when you have had iskandr out your window. When you have seen a shahed in person. When you heard an old lady burn to death in her fucking apartment. When you show up the next day to shovel the glass and debris.

I appreciate you taking some time to drop ship some goods, but seriously. Shove it up your fucking ass.

Fuck the EU and fuck the West.

This country has had a trial by fire with tepid aid from the rest of the world. They can now be a world leading military power. Let them fucking nuclearize.

When Ukraine gets its nukes back, this shit all goes away instantly.

Oh it’s doing plenty. Just not for you.

Heyooo I missed my own pun :)

I’ll take a laugh wherever I can when everything sucks this hard.

At some point I want to setup linux on my android phone and tablet with chroot. I have heard devices with reasonably good output are getting some pretty amazing performance.

To me this could be one of those moments like how the steam deck basically opened the door for linux on pc’s. The hardware is there. A modern phone with 12gb of ram can do plenty at this point.

I am using a couple of android devices that are rooted and pretty well de-googled. I am using F-droid and other repos and pretty much sticking with open source. Will this change hit any of the FOSS stuff? I understand we can still install those apk’s as per usual.

Honestly, seeing how Linux has been exploding in growth thanks to the steam deck and copilot, I don’t see how this doesn’t do anything other than bring about a sort of streisand effect. Normies are gonna stick with their normie shit. They don’t want to learn anything different. They likely are already giving up data and privacy. I hate to be this guy but… fuck em?

It’s always been an arms race. To one degree or another. And the so it continues. Just keep fighting.

If there were any competency in this world, THE BEST CASE SCENARIO for Meta and the rest would be fucking dividend checks to everyone that uses the platform. The amount of data harvested from an average american house with a modern car, smart appliances and every kind of surveillance tool you could ask for, should yield enough that you shouldn’t have to work another day in your fucking life.

Sue the fucking ever loving shit out of waymo. Kill this fucking company.

She IS cancer. Happy trails.

I just got banned for saying that I look forward to watching leopards eat James Comey’s face. They took it as a literal call for violence. The only thing that doesn’t make it perfect is that it wasn’t on r/leopardsatemyface.

I would say reddit has fully gone to shit, but somehow I think it still has a ways lower to sink.
