No, unfortunately I don’t know of any such reports or studies. I’d be interested in reading some for sure

oh yeah it absolutely seems so. but hope shouldn’t be denied for those who haven’t been even born yet, trees under which we’ll never sit and all that i guess, but very often i completely lose faith in everyone in this shithole of a peninsula – or at the least this swamp my fellows inhabit. oh well

hell yeah

and also yeah, i was in danger of going off the far end into fascism back in the day i think

i’ve been trying to ward off a familiar misanthropy related to being a part of the eurotrash. i remember being a young buck, overcome with depression and nihilism, thinking that all humans deserve to die because surely nothing else can fix the evil that men do. so in the past 20 years i’ve grown to consider this way of thinking as infantile.

but when i witness these irrelevant fucks in europe seeing the bullshit happening the US but still somehow believing that it couldn’t happen here, because of some nebulous “purity” inherent in our institutions or something, and i find myself being like damn, maybe it’s just the west and all its people and culture and institutions and memory of that truly does deserve to die.

but then i shake the doom and look at pictures of kittens with my partner and go out to see the sun and touch some grass.

You must be delusional for stating that the Nordic countries are doing “quite well”. The nordic model was always a lie, and it has been steadily killed by the people in charge since the USSR fell. Capitalism is and always has been only making lives worse for the working people, in the nords as well as globally. An absurd claim devoid of facts based on material reality.

i will become a black supremacist

you’re gonna have to type the n-word here right now for me to believe you, otherwise you’ll prove yourself a liar as well as fascist. then again being a racist piece of shit like you are it shouldn’t even feel problematic, right? go ahead, do it. you don’t consider them humans anyhow, do you removed?

dehumanization, nice! so you can’t believe anyone who’s not rabidly racist against Russia and Russians is a human. Par for the course so far. Will you be engaging in homophobia next, as is your kind’s other kneejerk response to information that challenges your preconcieved worldview? Or would you be projecting your propaganda fueled delusions on to us, which is another? I doubt you actually are willing to challenge your views.

no removed. get fucked fascist

Could it be that the pedophilia and lust to harm children combined with the inability to bear responsibility for one’s actions inherent in western culture is the thing to pop the western AI-bubble and finally drag the whole concept of western countries and “cultures” screaming into the mud where they belong? Here’s hoping!

“Look at those dirty ruzzkies, they even look around nontrustworthily! truly it is true that they are all always lying and you shouldn’t trust them, unlike us of pure european blood!” you sound really racist, which is typical from us westerners. we really are fucked, because we are all like you.

But they are condemning the nazism! Youi cannot be openly nazi, but you absolutely can be openly racist and chauvinistic. Par for the course in the west I’d say, seeing how many “russia bad”, “stop sucking putin’s dick”, “go back to daddy putin” type bullshit is spewed absolutely fucking everywhere. Also I think you’re confusing me for someone else, seeing your attack on a fucking strawman right there. Why don’t you grow up and then try argumenting again? But no, you won’t, because it’s apparently me who’s propagandaized and untihinking, willfully and gleefully eating the imperial koolaid. get fucked, removed. maybe you’ll see the errors of your opinions once the nazis in ukraine hang in nooses and the war is over. though i’m not holding my breath.

yes, because surely the people who’ve been guilty of lying multiple times in the past and are still trying to lie for israel would never lie about this? surely?

ah yes, and here’s another: your father was a hamster and your mother smelled of elderberries! now go away and take your shit takes with you, fuckface

I’m reminded of the concept of nominative determinism looking at your nick, your instance of choice, and your takes.

So let me get this straight: you ask for sources to claims that challenge your misconceptions, then proceed to removed about the source, then removed about the people answering you, and finally proceeding to call the people you engage with delusional? are you actually for fucking real bro?

THE FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS, a maze of blood suspended within an infinite void as the dying screams of your murdered daughter echo as the trail leads to her overturned crib, and a cheesy copnoir voiceover for me thanks. man Max Payne 1 was a ride.

oh god, now i see the error of my ways. thank you, my white saviour, for saving me from sin

Edit: for more on Ukraine

Taiwan is the place where the fascist KMT fled after being beaten by the CPC in the civil war. They remained independent because as the PLA was preparing to liberate the island’s population the Korean War broke out, leading (eventually) to the creation of both ROK (South-Korea) and ROC (Taiwan). The PLA lacked strength to to do both I guess. Which is understandable ater fighting both the Japanese (though the KMT fought them also) and the KMT and remaining independent. On the KMT’s treatment of the local you can take a look at things like the February 28 Incident and the period of suppression by governmental forces known as White Terror and accompanied martial law that lasted from 19 May 1949 to 15 July 1987.

Ukraine seems to be the latest in a long list of regimes that the NATO-countries (with full UN backing usually) have either created or armed to serve their capitalist class’ purposes in proxy wars meant to destabilize regions and topple enemy states. The methods of war may have evolved along the years, but they always achieve this locally by arming and enabling the local fascist and conservative elements, often in armed coup d’état, as was Ukraine’s case in 2014 with what is known as Euromaidan.

My support for Russia is critical, as in I support it in the fight against imperialism but realize the state or its leaders are not socialist. I could support Ukraine if the people kicked out the fucking nazis in charge, but then again they’d need help doing it. I don’t believe that the people of Ukraine need any more war right now, though.

Yeah, Russia is EU’s enemy but only because EU, with US and Israeli help, keeps antagonizing Russia all the while criminalizing dissent and enforcing private surveillance panopticon and maintaining support to genocidal and openly fascist entities, eg. Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan. Through Ukraine EU and NATO engage in proxy war with Russia, and EU leaders seem intent on taking us all down with them in open war against Russia. Russia is not my enemy, Russia is the capitalists’ enemy!
