This is an important part of it. The other part is the fact that success in politics is very hard without money, and most rich people aren't progressives.

Actually the battle lines have hardly moved at all since Ukraine withdrew from Avdiivka.

Lol, no one's putting a gun to people's heads to make them act bigoted. If your response to being accused of racism is "Oh, yeah? I'll show you racism!" then you're just showing your true colors.
Great. That always works out well. /s
Right, a smaller country can never successfully resist a larger one. That's why Vietnam has been under US occupation (or was it French? I can never remember for some reason) all these years since Ho Cho Minh wisely surrendered to spare his people's lives.
Even if he can't formally quit, he could effectively quit by just refusing to meet the obligations of the treaty. Who would stop him?
I'm not holding my breath. The idea that work=morality is too strong here. People working fewer hours would be seen as laziness no matter how much sense it makes.
It's still censorship. The distinction is that most private entities can't enforce their censorship with violence.
Seriously? Anyone voting for mister "grab them by the pussy" has zero right to criticize a married man for talking about having sex with his wife. What an absolute nothing of a story.
Good thing Ukraine isn't fighting the USSR, then.
That's great. Are they actually going to do anything about it?
