Safe in their writing dens, comfortable behind their humming computers, somewhere in their comfortable US homes - Applebaum and her bloodlust Atlantic editors- writing on how more killing, more human murder, is such a valuable goal, worth more escalation, more vengeance, more death.

Ukrainians, statistical pixels on a computer screen - to be sacrificed by the thousands for the mystical love of military bloodshed and military righteousness.

Have another cup of coffee Applebaum. It's all so easy when the missile isn't pointing at you isn't it? When it isn't your child being blown up on the streets of Kherson or Kyiv.

The Atlantic was cheerleader for the illegal and immoral Iraq War. That’s when I stopped reading it.

Who's afraid of the big bad nuke? And it you don't have a clear idea as to consequences, well, just go ahead anyway. Otherwise you're pussy, and that's as bad as it gets. Ordinary commentators on social media are better qualified than anyone if only from the standpoint that they have nothing material to gain. And as for absurd, uninformed, bought opinion, you can't beat MM.

Per the Neocons, Putin is a mad man that must be deposed; also per the Neocons, Putin can be trusted to show restraint where the West has shown none. These people are teenagers joyriding with our security (apologies to the teenagers).

Can we collectively cancel Ian Bogost so that he can only talk to other elitist snobs? Oh I guess that's already happened.

The Atlantic turned off our ability to comment a few years back. That sucked.

I like how Caitlin stands up for free speech, and against the warmongers like Anne Applebaum, who loves the warmonger Biden, despite his senility, endless money thefts, and groping of little girls.

I am 100% in favor of free speech. But in this particular article, I don't know if Caitlin acknowledges why Facebook stock has dropped literally over 75%, from $385 to $89. I think it's because people are:

a) Sick of the censorship, which runs entirely one way. You can't talk about Ukraine, Brazil, the 2020 election, the 30,000 vaccine deaths reported to VAARS, or anything else that is important.

b) Sick of FB's data collection. They are the Stasi's and the Gestapo's fantasy: the public willingly hands over all of their data, and then the corrupt FBI goes to arrest citizens on fake charges.

c) Mark Zuckerberg is a scary man who wants to control elections in multiple countries.

d) Zuckerberg is also cool with dumbing down the population--and then he has contempt for citizens for being stupid! This is like a meth dealer blaming his customers. I get that the users have responsibility, but so does the man peddling the meth, the Stasi-Goebbels-election thief, Zuckerberg.

People need to use alternative platforms, like Substack.

And we need to be 100% honest. That's the best way to dismantle the warmongers, Biden administration, WEF, and propagandists.

We need parallel systems: shop locally. Be like the Czechs in 1989, who overthrew their communist dictatorship: just stop using their banks, stores, etc. Stop reading their papers. Let them atrophy.

Be free.

Interesting that America is now very concerned about climate change, and we should be, and should have been decades ago, but implementing these changes if done well will take decades. I'm sure Annie Applebomb would salute Biden on his climate change policy, and maybe she has written a number of articles on this topic, and applauded Biden's efforts. However the Biden administration while trying to deal with this important issue is escalating a conflict with Russia that very well may lead to a nuclear war. Does anyone here see a conflict, or is it just me?

Amnesty? We haven't got transparency yet. They're still hiding crimes and they want a blanket amnesty first? That sounds very corrupt.

This is TRUE: The Atlantic is somehow as bad as NYT, Comcast & WaPo ALL in one place? Selling rich white old yuppies on murdering uppity essentials with COVID, to flip rent-controlled hovels, by forcing them back to work sick, re-re-reinfected with PASC damage to SERVE them more Ukranian caviar on their avacado toast, to rescue Democrats' evil FRACKING Ponzi scheme. Then BLAMING their victims, again & again as they used Israeli/ Koch super PACs to take our candidates away & replace them with the WORST kleptocrat suck up dopplegangster duopoly, money could buy. And if we don't go along, we're FOR Putin & our little dog, too? All this, from sneeringly brainwashed honkies buying her Chinese child slave made $1,800 phones, that's driven down quality, wages, choice, transparency, SAY, resilience & a livable future to the lowest common denominator for ALL of us? FUCK petit-bourgois suck-up yuppies!
