    The trendy young women saying men have to fight for the “Motherland” would instantly turn away from an ex-soldier missing a face.

    Minks are shy, solitary animals who are fearful of humans and like to forage, climb, and swim in vast habitats. But undercover investigations have revealed that fur farms confine them to cramped wire cages that are often caked with waste. The animals frequently show signs of extreme psychological distress, such as frantic circling and self-mutilation, and suffer from infections, gaping wounds, and other illnesses and injuries that commonly go untreated. Mink farmers commonly use the cheapest killing methods available – including gassing, electrocution, and neck-breaking – before peeling the skin off the minks’ bodies.

    False-eyelash companies like Lilly Lashes know that no one wants to buy vile animal fur, so they are making misleading claims about their mink lashes: Lilly Lashes markets some mink-fur lashes as “vegan”.

    However, TS, won’t the absorption of the Donbas into Russia Proper (happening now via the referenda) mean that Ukraine’s attacks on it, using NATO arms, will be construed as just that: an attack on Russia?
    Which will then push Moscow to nuke the West?

    Both Russia and the U.S. are influenced by armageddonist churches, on one side evangelicalism, on the other Orthodoxy. But only in the case of Russia are the armageddonists presently, in the form of Orthodoxy, part of the structure of government.

    Modern Catholicism is not armageddonist, but Orthodoxy is – especially Slavic Orthodoxy. It might outwardly resemble more the Catholic Church (ostentatious ritual, incense etc.), but its ideology is closer to evangelical fundamentalism. The Orthodox Church is fundamentalist. Modern Catholicism is not.

    We’re the oldest party that has “socialist” as a name in the UK is what is meant.

    TS, you do have as much right to be here as I do, and I apologise for being rude.

    TS has unwittingly shown that Marx is unwelcome among Stalinists!

    People in the Donbas have more to fear from the conscription officers of their tinpot regime. I don’t envy the fate of any genuine socialists, anarchists or pacifists even, who are taken out of hiding by the nationalists there and who can’t escape.

    For you, conscientious objectors are “cowards”, aren’t we, who no doubt should be executed.

    As Marx said, TS, “The working men have no country. We cannot take away from them what they have not got.”

    So, alien and TS, we are not fighting your bloody war. So, instead of bothering us, why don’t you two go and enlist in the Russian army?
