Well, we do really hate our government, especially today, these damn morons.

But if anyone approached me and started talking that usual contrarian bullshit about this being not people's war (when one side clearly intends to once again destroy our independence and enact final solution for our culture) but some "war for interests of oligarchs" or whatever - my eyes will be scanning for any loose bricks in vicinity.

I really hope that there will be some serious warnings to our parliament and Zelensky, not just "deep concerns". They've basically destroyed independence of our main anti-corruption agency and put it under control of main prosecutor. And worst of all, some of deputies voting for that are themselves subjects of active corruption investigations.

With USSR I at least can somewhat get the sentiment, after all there are/were many folks nostalgic for these times in ex-soviet countries.

But tankies lick boots of modern Russia - that is literally 19th century style colonial empire with extraction-based economy and clepto-autocratic leadership. And China - literally the oldest still existing empire - Rome was just a city, while China already had an emperor and recorded history of "civilizing the barbarians".

There is a long history of anti-China movements catering to the west for sympathy

Now what the hell do they expect of people that China wants to kill or "reeducate"? Who they expect these people to ask for help?

Same thing with Ukraine aligning with West. Guilty of being murdered by Russia.

Well, he's now gonna fight woke gay nazi globalists, so mission accomplished? Kinda?

I also saw some folks claiming they voted Trump to "provoke revolutionary situation". So there's also that.

I'd say that if one rounds up a village, drops the people on a ship and sends them off to other continent to have their liberty restricted, possibly also previously killing old and sick ones, who've no use for forced labor - that's definitely a genocide. Specific cultures were absolutely targeted too, because more advanced cultures with somewhat centralized authorities could actually fight back.

I would argue about transatlantic slave trade though. Deaths of millions of people, immense suffering, destruction of societies and cultural erasure. There may have been some cultures that have simply gone extinct then due to people getting hunted for slave trade.

Defending Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad.

Ah yes, the infamous Marxist-Islamist menace.

And in fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster that it could have been completed with visual traditional VFX tools and workflows.

Yeah, generative AI model that is probably trained on some IP that they probably do not own, will do the job faster. Duh.
