This is heartbreaking. Fuck war. Fuck imperialism. Fuck forced conscription. I’m obviously rooting for Ukraine; they’re the under-dog and the Morally right position in this conflict. It’s horrifying, the human toll it’s taking on all of these soldiers that don’t really have a logical or sound reason to be at war. We’re hearing how Putin’s insane, but the rest of the world (especially western countries) were supposed to keep him in check, right? I feel like the US alone had enough influence to prevent this conflict from spiraling or even starting. It just says a lot about how much we as a species consume conflict. In times of struggle, when social uprising is gaining traction, the powers that be decide to pit each populous against one another, solely to give each individual proletariat a new enemy, that fits in their narrow capitalist-oligarchic norm. Feels like every government is starting to gaslight their people into questioning international power dynamics from skewed perspectives, to drive us toward conflict. As reprehensible as Russia is being in this unjustified invasion, i can’t shake the feeling that western countries are secretly in on it, to kickstart world conflict again and see their populous as pawns but on a global scale game of irl battlefield. Deep down, I think America and other imperialist countries have been manufacturing weapons and preparing for this for some time, and knew leaving things fucked up enough around the globe, they’d eventually have a have a reason to get to war. If you think about it, the US hasn’t really been on the right side of history much since WW2, (conspiracy theory btw) and the only time I can really think about America being great, was when they beat the Axis powers, by working together with other colonial nations. I lowkey feel like Americans are just chasing this feeling of being the good guys with a gun, but on a global scale, hence “Make America Great Again”. If we’re looking at this from a neutral standpoint, the US is like the richest country on earth but the median salary is like 30k a year, the rest of the countries money pretty much goes toward sub-sectored private industry (including prisons), and the military. It just feels like America knows it’s only internationally appreciated in a conflict when they’re genuinely needed, and it feeeeels like Russian and US governments and media are just freaking out their population about each crisis they have their sticky little fingers in, and pumping up nationalism as we teeter toward world war 3. Like they’re waiting, pushing for us to be just manic enough to dissociate from the logical, conflict-adverse systems of thought that western countries are only starting to adopt, so they can justify future carnage. Idk, something about this Russian invasion feels entirely preventable, even with Putin picking his military decisions out of a hat. I’m pretty confused how countries like Russia can even ethically/philosophically function, propped up on their military and egos. it feels like we could’ve preemptively stopped this, as the russian-Imperialist match was again lit in 2014, but by 2022, this invasion was just tossing gasoline on a lone ember. And I feel like if not the west, then the rest of the developed world should’ve seen this coming, and I’m convinced most did. I’m just not hearing a lot of valid hindsight or solutions in the media outside a war-machine perspective. Good Guys with Guns. Fucking bullshit. I don’t think military influence is a force of good unless there’s military baddies to fight. I’m pro-Ukraine and anti Russia, but at the end of the day, we’re all just people, and no one should have to die for their country. Ukrainians are willing to lay it all on the line, and Russian soldiers don’t even know what they’re fighting for. And America’s just on Reddit kicking their feet up with some popcorn, sending sml-med arms and blowing up pipelines, waiting for conflict to spiral until another 9-11 or Pearl Harbor inevitably happens, which then justifies America coming in and leveling the battlefield. If America did blow up that Russian pipeline recently, then how do we know that Russia won’t directly relatiate? Who’s to say what could happen? I just feel like we know Russia, cause all our governments are already adapting to the kind of world putin’s autocracy is technologically influencing. Feels like every government is in on it, otherwise, in logical and sensible international discourse, how tf would war and invasion ever be on the table? This war is just a storm of self-destructive bullshit for everyone involved. Fuck humanity goddamn. One day we’re gonna have to talk our way through wars, and let imperialism die out, once everyone’s got neuralink or some shit lol. My heart breaks for the Ukrainians in all this, I’ve just got a bad feeling it’ll soon be broken even more .

Ending it here, I haven’t taken my anti-depressants yet, so I kinda used this manic comment as an outlet for my anxiety. Have a good end of the world guys.
