and how do you imagine they'll do that exactly? how are they even to begin resolving their political issues when all leftwing parties have been banned, unions are severely restricted, and strikes and protests have been made illegal? even if the allow for free elections again, any post-war government will have to act adhere to the neoliberal repayment programs of the IMF and other foreign actors, meaning further wage cuts, more austerity, more privatization

That's not my business. Ukrainians have showed multiple times over the past 30 years that they know how to deal with bad politicians. Don't try to come up and solve problems that don't exist today. Today the country as at war and not spreading Russian propaganda the least we could do.

but these problems do exist today? that's literally the whole point of the article. and what they're experience today—extreme salary cuts, austerity, longer work days, poorer access to public goods—isn't going to magically go away once the war is over. especially not when every avenue ukrainians have to protests their government is being criminalized

Okay, go ahead, attack the Ukrainian government for having poor living conditions during the war if that makes the most sense to you under given circumstances.

What is your business then exactly? Is it property, or people? You seem to be on the side of property with no regard for the conditions of the people who exist on that property.

It's the Sargon of Akkad tactic of screaming "I don't care!" while inserting themselves into every single conversation. Somehow they seem to think their dumb uninformed opinions are always equally worthy of merit despite doing zero homework. If you look into the thread, you'll notice most people didn't even read the article.

Oh, you think that reading nonsense online makes you smart, worthy and informed? Lol.

[–] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Usually, yeah, reading and investigation is the main basis for getting informed. Specially for something so far away. How do you get "informed"? Through sheer willpower and thought?

Literally got into a discussion with a Jehovah's witness who said Jesus told them to protest at drag shows in a dream.

I think you don't realize the irony of you saying that

[–] Durotar@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be honest, I read nonsense only when I get replies from people like you.

[–] ThereRisesARedStar@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

people like you

Trans communists who like the She-Ra reboot? Oddly specific.

We are many, we will rule the world, there are dozens of us! Dozens!

I meant morons. Other facts about that subject are irrelevant.

I don't think that you fully understand what's happening. This is not Call of Duty. Leave any internal political issues until the end of the war. Right now, you're helping Russia.
