I don't mean to come across as great, nor all-knowing, nor above anyone else.

I just think it really shouldn't be so controversial to condemn things like war and white supremacy

and yet, here we are.

It’s condemning rockets, on all sides.

It’s condemning white supremacy too, and all white/ethnic supremacy; rather than picking and choosing which white supremacy is condemnable, and which is more convenient to just shrug off as Russian propaganda instead.

Aside from that Florida clip, the only social media feed I see that’s cheering on Biden sending rockets to Ukraine, and refraining “Hail…wait, I mean, stand with Ukraine,” is when you guys post it here.

So there is no one on your social media feed that supports sending arms to Ukraine. OK. Sorry but I don't believe you. A little less time on snappy one-liners and a little more time in the world of truth and reality would do some good.

Sweet personal attack, illy.

fwiw in real life I doubt you guys aggressively accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being a Russian spambot, either.

Elon Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off his company’s Starlink satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet, according to an excerpt adapted from Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the eccentric billionaire titled “Elon Musk.”

As Ukrainian submarine drones strapped with explosives approached the Russian fleet, they “lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly,” Isaacson writes.

Musk’s decision, which left Ukrainian officials begging him to turn the satellites back on, was driven by an acute fear that Russia would respond to a Ukrainian attack on Crimea with nuclear weapons, a fear driven home by Musk’s conversations with senior Russian officials, according to Isaacson, whose new book is set to be released by Simon & Schuster on September 12.

Musk’s concerns over a “mini-Pearl Harbor” as he put it, did not come to pass in Crimea. But the episode reveals the unique position Musk found himself in as the war in Ukraine unfolded. Whether intended or not, he had become a power broker US officials couldn’t ignore.

And for real for real, it’s alarming just how much power we afford to evil rich people.

On another note, and speaking of warmongering and neocolonialism and Iraq - there’s stories floating around this week about how the US is breaching a 2021 pact by continuing to maintain “offensive weapons” in US bases in Iraq as we speak.

But since that’s not in mainstream western media, guess it’s prob just more Putin propaganda.

I believe it is true that Starlink, which Elon owns/controls, is technically a defense contractor. And there are a number of laws, rules and regulations that apply to those.
