    Want to know another position I had at the beginning of the war? All soldiers on both sides should abandon all fronts, but guess what, no bourgeois politician would ever utter a phrase like that because to them you’re just a soldier or an economic unit they don’t care about you or your country. What they care about is the money they can extract from you and currently it’s just two sides fighting over who has that privilege.

        Yes both sides it’s funny because after I started saying this you could see the propaganda machines on both sides trying to counter that narrative. Anyways I hope you’re getting paid to post propaganda because doing it for free is kinda lame. Also Putin fucking hates me fyi.
