I think I'm going to take an extended break from Lemmy. People are treating a 70+ year political quagmire like a football match, where they pick a side and then morally grandstand about how awful the other side is. Fuck all of you.

sounds like something The Other Side would say

I think it's technically a thousands of years quagmire.

Nope. It began in late 19th century at the earliest.

and like a football match, people are watching it happen live on youtube

This real time information spread during the Ukrainian invasion and this, is so crazy.

Unfortunately, those that don't fall under what you're describing simply don't comment because they know it's a massive, nuanced issue, so all you're seeing are the loudest, least nuanced voices

I hope more of you fake nuanced people go back to Reddit.
