I honestly think it's funny how much western people pretend to care about international events like this war.
Nobody gives a fuck about Ukraine.
Borat is the best movie ever for publicly humiliating a former soviet nation. Hooray, racism! This, in a time of righteousness and values. All this posturing from the left and so many of my left-wing friends loved this film.
I wish they were invading Kazakhstan instead.
That would be fucking priceless.

Does anyone actually want to equalize everything (GDP, health care, resources, blah) across the globe?
We all constantly complain that everything is too expensive (see the CEPS thread: "everything is expensive" for example) but at the same time we have high speed internet on our phones and we care about people not being able to afford to eat?
The left criticizes the right, as if it is any different.
I wonder: if those who identify as left (in the western world) had the option to liquify their assets along with the rest of the world... would they do it?
If white privilege exists, let's get rid of it... but let's make it optional.
People who identify as privileged should do something about it.
In Australia, companies increasingly say a disclaimer before doing anything. It goes something like this: "We acknowledge that this is traditionally aboriginal land."
This is like stealing someone's TV. Then they come knock on your door and say WTF. And you say, sorry mate, I acknowledge that's your TV. They stand there for a second, and you close the door.
You either give a shit or you don't.
