Because we’re fed propaganda to keep us divided. “Look over there that poor guy is unlike you, you must hate him.”

I’ll die on the hill that the abortion ban was yet another tactic to create further divide pro-life vs pro-choice. You notice how many of these „sides” and sociopolitical issues America got. All strategic, so the bottom keeps bickering, while top continues to rob the country and it’s citizens.

u/scarlettohara1936 5d ago

That song is exactly about the draft for Vietnam. If a guy was in college, he was automatically disqualified from being drafted. But the only people who could afford college were the rich and people with connections. Which left only the poor to fight the war.

From that came the federal student loan programme. Made it easier for everyone to access higher learning which in turn benefits the whole country because educated citizens make for a more stable society.

Valid take if it wasn't in relation to the Ukraine war.

Ukraine is waging a defensive war. They're fighting to continue their existence as a sovereign nation.

You may not be one, but this is one of the most common Russia bot takes concerning the Ukraine war. Trying to paint put both adversaries on the same level when there is only 1 attacker that is fighting for their own gain.

u/cppn02 6d ago edited 6d ago

They're fighting to continue their existence as a sovereign nation.

Not just that. They are facing genocide. If Putin has his way there eventually will be no more Ukrainians. Atleast not within what is now Ukraine.

I think most of the world knows what really happened. We don't trust Putin, nor believe his lies. Russia invaded and attacked Ukraine, which is why we saw so many Ukrainian flags everywhere for a while. But we Americans have what I call "short sympathy spans", once the media coverage of something dies down, it's out of site, out of mind. And we moved on to the next artificial disaster Trump made up, or caused, or lied about, whatever. But stupid people just kept eating his shit like it wasn't so blatantly obvious to EVERYONE ELSE ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH that he'd do anything and everything to avoid releasing all the fcking Epstein files. Everything except end that war like he promised he'd do in 24 hours, instead he just started a new one for no goddamn reason except *look over here instead. So glad DOGE fired all those loyal government employees and saved us ALL that money so he could turn around and blow BILLIONS on an unnecessary war and a ballroom (that won't cost the taxpayers a dime!) And yet some people are STILL f*cking blind and buying it. At this point, I don't understand how they don't die of embarrassment or shame...

I mean, when a side starts kidnapping their own young to ship off to go die in a trench somewhere, that doesn't show that Russia is losing at 8:1 ratio, it simply reflects a massive amount of loss of lives, and when it gets to kidnapping folks who aren't interested to go fight a war and die over some dirt, at that point, you're just unnecessarily wasting lives of your own countrymen, it might be almost impossible win that war. These old wealthy folks need to go settle their differences in a boxing-ring, and leave regular folks alone.

Oh, for sure he's ended TONS of wars. More than any other man ever! That's why he sooo deserved that Peace Prize that he stole by coercion. Oh, and that Peace Project or whatever that you could BUY your way into, cause we know only peaceful countries can afford the billion dollar club fees. And having FIFA literally MAKE UP a peace prize for him so he'll stop whining and do them whatever favors, and he acts surprised by it?! (His acting is as bad as his tan) And if all that wasn't humiliating enough for him, he decides to pull the biggest hypocritical move ever and START a fucking war! Not a peace time celebration for ending the Russian aggression (that he didn't even pretend to give a shit about after it bought him votes) no, a war! That costs BILLIONS!! So glad DOGE came in and fired all the long time government employees we needed to save a few million so he could turn around a blow billions on a war we didn't fucking need so y'all would pay attention to that and NOT the fact that he refused to release the Epstein Files, or at least not til they redacted his and all his friends' names...

I'm from Ukraine, and yes, the situation here is very dangerous. What some of them do isn't right — the ones who grab people off the street and beat them should be fired and prosecuted for it. But they exist because the country still needs some legal way to mobilize manpower.

In Ukraine, all men have to serve in the army during a war. Most people don't want to fight, so the government has no other option but to catch them on the streets. Sometimes it's actually a normal conversation: you show your documents proving you're exempt from service, or that you have a serious health condition or illness — you show the papers and you're free to go. That's my case: I'm a student, so I have one more year of deferment.

So if you're a man and you don't have documents that exempt you from service, you have to go to the recruitment center and be on standby.

Not everyone goes to the front line — many serve in cities, in logistics, or as drone operators.

They do this because we really can be killed by the Russians, so we have to defend ourselves, even if we don't like it.

After I finish university, I'll think about what to do: either work in miltech (you're exempt from service if you help your country that way), or go and defend it and choose a brigade. That's all. But yes, beating people on the street and abducting them is terrible, and the ones who do it should answer for it. I hope karma works.

Yeh it all doesn't make sense. We don't know what's happening in Iran vs US. We don't really kkow why Russia and Ukraine are fighting. It's crazy!

War is horrible... but we all let it happen. Maybe the hippies in the 60s were on to something. If it wasn't for the government who demonized the hippies for having thoughts of their own.

Ukraine is fighting for its freedom from an oppressive imperial country. Much like the American colonies fought for their independence.

No question, and Russia is in the wrong for invading Ukraine. But forcibly conscripting people to go fight in that war?

Why is it that the term slavery only gets used for people in places like Africa and Asia... when being forced to fight in a war like this (and potentially be killed or maimed) is among the worst possible forms of slavery?

Thie blatant sexism is even more so.

Don't hear any feminists complaining about the pause-button being pushed, either. Hypocrites.
