they aren't wrong, it's dumb and super hypocritical of germany to shutter nuclear programs and happily slurp down french power from nuclear reactors right across the border

The same news media that wants me to work for peanuts while doing nothing to protect anybody from an ongoing plague wants me to care a lot about Russia's attack on Ukraine. I've also noticed that Canada has a lot of Ukrainian nazis milling around, includes people with familial ties to nazis and their collaborators in our government and often provides material support to militarized nazis in Ukraine. My first impulse is condemn what Russia is doing because they are a gangster state run by an rear end in a top hat, but on the other hand I kind of feel like I shouldn't give a poo poo (beyond of course basic ethical concerns like "bombing civies is wrong"). Am I poo poo? I'm poo poo aren't I.

I'm in a similar boat where I think between Ukraine's Nazi problem, and the 20 year hellwar in Afghanistan just coming to an end a few monthes back... I don't give a gently caress. I feel bad for the citizens caught in the crossfire, but... I'm sorry, I just can't dredge up the strength to actually give a gently caress about this current crisis.

Pallister has to be one of the stupidest people to ever sit as Premier. A genuine narcissistic lunatic. All this effort fighting the U of M union, after they already had a strike in 2017. To what end? Does every single union need to be broken for capital to get an erection again? The university is already sitting on a boatload of cash. They are offloading more and more teaching to contract instructors, while useless $200k administrative positions multiply themselves. So why did they need to play hardball, only to end up losing in court?

like that’s the part that really sticks out to me. If you are going to antagonize Putin’s Russia by carving off their neighbours into NATO and effectively isolate them, being surprised they are willing to use force to counter that comes off as poking a bear and then getting offended when it mauls you. If Ukraine joining NATO or aligning to the west against Russia is a worthwhile thing and not just a way to funnel more national budgets into F35s to pad Lockheed profit margins, then mobilize, get ready to defend this place you’ve participated in destabilizing as much as the other side. Or don’t antagonize Russia in the first place.

instead we get the worst of both paths, escalation with no response. It’s cowardly and catastrophic for the people of Ukraine.
