That you can support — or at least sympathise — with an act of military intervention (i.e. “war”, as we popularly conceive it), if it is made in response to an ongoing act of aggression.
That you can condemn — or at least disavow — the gratuitous and bloodthirsty acts of military violence that emerge from a military intervention… along with the toxic masculine culture that enables these atrocities, and the unchecked military industrial complex that feeds them.
That there are real “biolabs” in Ukraine funded and created by the US/NATO that Russia are targeting.
That “biolabs” and, more generally, “bioweapons” are a psy-op for funnelling Government money into the medical-military industrial complex — mainly to fund Jibby Jab research, probably — while having the added ego boost of creating the false illusion that these people have the God-like powers to weaponise nature.
That, regardless of the real world consequences and implications of this war, you can enjoy — or at least appreciate — the whole thing as theatre: 1) because it takes the edge off; 2) we deserve the entertainment; and 3) because, for the people calling the shots, it essentially is theatre.
That, when viewed as characters in this theatre, we are getting our money’s worth — Zelensky, in all his showmanship and shamelessness (everyone knows by now that he once played the piano with his penis on live TV right?), is as close to the Eastern Europe woke-inversion of Trump as one could hope for and it is hilarious that the TDS crowd are in love with him.
That, on the other hand, Putin is as real a leader as Biden — that is to say, barely — and what we are seeing is warring elite factions (dare I say it, bloodlines) with carefully chosen empty figureheads. As always, check the ear lobes.
That we — myself included — are putting too much energy towards a distant overseas theatre whose actual reality we will never come close to knowing when there is so much objectively real work — perhaps soon to be urgent work — to be done at home.
#8 For sure. --- Is it the earlobes that prove they're not who they're supposed to be?
