-2025 is now a more threatening year for the survival of the republic than 1968.
-John Roberts will now go down in history as a worse chief justice than Roger "Dred Scott" Taney.

I've bookmarked this in case, somebody from MAGA will claim they don't mean "anti-fascism" when they say "antifa".

Majority of Russia are pro-Putin. But the vast majority of Russians who left Russia are anti-Putin (and anti war). I think there are tons of facts if you want to see them. But Russians cannot publicly discuss them, because it unnecessary increases individual risks (you can do stuff, but don't speak)
11.10.2025 18:08 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0bsky is not the best place to discuss this. Can we have a discord conversation or something? I'll try to elaborate.

On your questions:
* Pretty much, yes.
* Mostly by sending money to Ukraine. Some do much more, but an average person would not take so much risk, so only money and secretly.
To make sure I understand correctly:
An ordinary Russian person, who just sleeps, works, and go back to family at home, would as a hobby somehow haunt down Russian special agents and overpower them to kill them?
You mean "polls lie" or who?
I think an average anti-Putin Russian does much more to help Ukraine than an average European.
But EU can do whatever it wants.
"go" how?
11.10.2025 17:44 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I thought we do need anti-Putin influence inside Europe.
11.10.2025 17:37 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0This argument is very different argument. And is a much more understandable one.
I believe Putin lied about the reasons to invade Ukraine: he does not care about Russian speaking people at all. But ultimately in the shoes of Baltic countries I'd also be extra cautious about Russians (other reasons)
Well. "Truth does not exist, there are only opinions" is what Kremlin propaganda likes to push. Personally I prefer to think we can generally check if a claim is correct (or we should avoid making the claim, if we cannot check it).
With Putin support we can easily look at polls and votes.
What would be the objective way to check who is right?

I'm not a westerner. I'm a Russian in immigration myself. And from what I've seen whatever Russian-speaking community you enter, you'll almost never find even a single Putin supporter.
11.10.2025 17:17 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0I agree with this. But this is a completely different argument from accusing those who are likely victims of being the aggressors.

As a resident of Ireland, I'm afraid of the UK as the neighbor.
Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

1917: Ottoman empire and then British mandate
1946: still British mandate
1947: the first time the creation of Palestine was on the table, Israeli agreed but Palestinians rejected the plan.
1948: Arabs attacked Israel, lost the war and territory
<etc; text limit>
I think this is the first comment that I've seen from Joe Walsh that conveys a wrong message.
Indeed, Palestinians & Arab countries do need to acknowledge Israel.
But at the same time Israel must stop the settlers program, inhumane treatment of Gaza and so on.

I don't get it. Why are they doing that?
