    Ukraine hasn’t even been independent for my entire life, what are you talking about? Do you think thirty years is a long time? Are you twelve?

    This is the thing that gets me with lemmy libs at times. I want to dunk on them harder, but some of them are so naive and ignorant about basic facts of recent history that in the back of my mind I can’t help but think I’m probably talking to an actual, literal child. Then I just feel saddened about it more than anything.

      Yeah interacting with lemmitors had the same affect on me as redditors, I become more certain that there is no revolutionary potential anywhere in the West and the third world is the only real hope for a better future

        No revolutionary potential to be found in hyper-online west wing watchers. But the 2020 uprisings clearly show there’s still a difference between online and the real world
