    I couldn’t find it after posting, and when I pressed on my wall, a restricted notice came up. I was also restricted after posting these lines from L’Internationale:

    “No more deluded by reaction
    On tyrants only we’ll make war
    The soldiers too will take strike action
    They’ll break ranks and fight no more.”

    And this was in that case given as the reason.

    I seem to recall seeing footage from Vietnam, and from WW2, where bombs being loaded on planes by U.S. troops have messages on them, such as “Happy Xmas” and other things.

    There is being skeptical for the right reason, and there is being skeptical for a skewered reason. One is being aware that both sides are using propaganda. The other is falling into the mistake, like many leftists do, that “our side” propaganda is necessarily the falsest.

    Maybe Ukrainian forces do fake Russian atrocities, but the circumstances must be plausible for saying so. The fact is, Russian forces are turning residential blocks into shells and blasting cities, and it is ludicrous to suppose that the Ukrainians are doing that themselves, in Mariupol, Kyiv, Kharkiv, etc., as the Russian govt. would suggest.

    You can’t blast cities into ruins and then say you’re not targetting civilians. Is it plausible Ukrainian nationalists are staging publicity stunts? Yes, perhaps. Is it plausible the mass shelling of their own towns is done by them? I think not. Peskov says everything is blamed on Russia. It’s equally absurd to say Ukraine is to blame. Soldiering is debasing, whichever army it is.

    I didn’t say which side. I said it expressed a sick mind.

    Sick military mind.

    On the debris of a missile which blew up people at a crowded rail station in Ukraine today, is written “For the children.”

    “Anti-ageing” experiments.

    Yet another justification for money-making “science.”

    The ageing process is part of nature. I wonder what horrific suffering they are now inflicting on animals in yet another pursuit of the human obsession with eternal life and eternal youth!
