Oh man, it's been way too long.
Once again, having not written a single thing the past couple of... how long has it been now? Months? Years? Having not read a single book (except, thankfully, my daughter's books to her during bedtime)... being immersed in short-form messaging, from Twitter to Reddit to WhatsApp... I feel like my mind's lethargic. Firmly within the fog.
Before I continue, I FUCKING HATE THE NEW FORMATTING FOR POSTS.
I mean, yea fine, it's probably not new. Just haven't been back in ages. But I really hate the new spacing between lines, whenever I hit "Enter". I'm not writing a new paragraph, goddammit.
It's closer to what you get in Word, and I do miss writing the way I used to, hitting enter about the halfway point in the page, so the eyes don't have to travel all the way to the far right.
Speaking of the far right!
Motherfucking Ukraine, and the rest of the so-called "West", which really, is basically just the US. The fact that so many are supportive of the collective punishment of Russians and Belarusians (who aren't even participating in the motherfucking war, btw), and their governments censoring, and even criminalising the sharing of, news that goes against the official narrative (i.e. war propaganda in favour of Ukraine), really lays bare their hypocrisy.
So much for freedom of speech and equality for all. Seems like they've always been xenophobic, Nazi-supporting scum.
Hell, they're even trying to whitewash Stepan Bandera (who participated in the Holocaust, murdering an estimated 1.6M people) and the neo-Nazis in Ukraine. This is on top of desecrating Soviet monuments... including one dedicated to Soviet soldiers and other victims of the Holocaust.
They've gone so mad to the point of trying to demonise long-dead musical composers and authors, and... I shit you not... the letters Z and V... since those symbols were painted on Russian equipment, to differentiate them from similar equipment used by the Ukrainians.
There's been so much madness in such little time that I can't write about all of it here.
But I will add this. The neo-Nazis in Ukraine are not shy about their ideology. They're fucking proud of it, too. And during the war, they've even recorded themselves committing brutal war crimes. And their supporters in the West keep oscillating between justifying them, denying they happened, blaming Russians for them.
They've gone utterly mad.
Nobody cares about NATO's repeated threats towards Russia and continuous encroachment upon their borders. The horrific bombardment of the Donbass for over EIGHT FUCKING YEARS, killing around 14 THOUSAND PEOPLE.
I might address this in more detail in the future, but for now, I'll add one more thing. After seeing the horrors inflicted by those Nazi scum upon their own citizens... Russia have to win. And I sincerely hope we get to the point where the global decoupling of East and West finally happens. If the Soviet Union were to be reformed (by the way, the original one was formed by WORKERS and other countries volunteered to join, instead of being coerced)... I'd be very happy and I believe it'd be a force of good for the world (of course, it can go either way, but the status quo and the suffering it brings cannot be allowed to continue).
You know, if we don't all get annihilated in a nuclear holocaust first, thanks to the fucking psychotic idiots who keep urging escalation, and direct conflict between NATO and Russia.
Heh.
This post was meant to be focused on how little I've progressed overall, and how I'm working on moving forward, no matter how slowly and hard it is.
Ah well. Too tired now.
Well enough of that.
