im commenting about what she could have done considering her original post is about that issue. were i in her shoes i wouldnt say the things she says but assuming i held her worldview then sure, why not take the fence-sitter position

personally im not a fan of modern russia (or ukraine) and even though i understand the conditions in why they invaded i still dont like them and theres no point in being their cheerleaders because it doesnt move the needle anyways in regards to their inevitable victory

You don’t like to like Russia to know that intervening to stop ethnic cleansing even at the expense of risking global sanctions that wrecked your economy just 7 years ago was the right thing to do.

Same as understanding that you don’t have to like people like Gaddafi to know that what is being done to Libya is absolutely abhorrent.

Fence sitting here is just coward centrism and taking the same pro-imperialist position as Natalie here.

i have protested and supported all the other issues you mention and i even opposed western intervention in ukraine

but i guess if you think saying "i support russia" on the internet is some couragous act then call me a coward or whatever its no sweat off my sack it just comes off as real cringe shit to crash out over it

I never said you have to like or support Russia. I said it is coward centrism to be fence sitting on this specific issue on Ukraine-Russia war.
