you guys really need to be educated on russia's indigenous people. some of you will rightfully call out isnotreal and usa on being settler colonies dependant on stealing land and killing it's indigenous population but then say that "i don't support russia but they aren't the same". tell that to yakut, buryat, chukchi, chechens, cirkassians, ingush, ossetians, tatars, nenets, tuvans, bashkirs, udmurts, qirimtatar of illegally occupied crimea, and many, many others. their land stolen, their culture on the verge of extinction; they're facing racism and discrimination in their own land, their activists are being thrown to prisons. russia is no different from usa

Blindness to Russian colonialism distorts Westerners’ view of the Ukraine war
Yet, Westerners safe from bombardment like long-shot third-party presidential candidate Cornel West continue to accommodate Russia. In a July 13 interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, West called Russia's invasion "criminal" but insisted it was "provoked by the expansion of NATO" and is a "proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation," adding Neville Chamberlain-esque icing on the appeasement cake by proposing Ukrainian territorial concessions to Russia.
The tell in West's remarks was calling the U.S. an empire but referring to Russia by its de jure name, implicitly erasing its imperial, colonial character. It's a common tendency among the segment of the left to which West belongs, one that Kazakhstan-born Pitzer College sociology professor Azamat Junisbai attributes to ignorance and a myopic, know-nothing focus on American imperialism to the exclusion of imperialism by other nations.
"They're kind of imperial about their anti-imperialism," Junisbai said. "There's something very provincial and strange about it where you literally do not know anything about what's happening beyond this one issue you care about."
Just because you hate USA imperialism it doesn't mean you have to support other imperialist countries
If you believe that genocide of Ukrainians, current anti foreign agents law protests in Georgia are funded and orchestrated by USA - congratulations! You believed Russian propaganda! These 2 countries just don't want to go fash and fucking die, simple as that! People want to be free without The Evil States dictating them to protect themselves!

you don't always need to be working towards big goals or trying to radically change your life.
you're allowed to just take time to exist, learn about yourself, what makes you happy, and enjoy being here.
taking time to rest and recover does not make you any less then people that doing different things.
Imho the idea of ‘cruelty free’ products or food shouldn’t mean that nothing died to create it, but rather that anything and anyone involved in the creation process hasn’t been exploited or harmed.
Leather is good actually. Veganism isn’t the end all be all to morality and consumption. The issue isn’t that a chicken died for those nuggets, but that while the chicken was alive, it’s life fucking sucked. Vegan chocolate means little if the cocoa that made it was gathered by child slave labor.
Factory farms, abuses of the people who pick the fruit and vegetables we eat, the focus profit and productivity over all else - that’s the fucking issue here. It’s capitalism folks.
