Leftist Lawyer<p>There are people on here who post videos of battles in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> war cheerleading the deaths of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Russian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Russian</span></a> soldiers. Calling them <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/orks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orks</span></a>. Celebrating death. It makes me ill, and I wonder how <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WesternPropaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WesternPropaganda</span></a> can so totally twist their minds to such evil. </p><p>All <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarIsARacket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarIsARacket</span></a> perpetuated by those who stand to gain the most — the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/elite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elite</span></a>. Most soldiers on any side of a war are literally just boys and girls. Too young to fully understand the cause or consequence of the wider conflict. Let me be blunt … the cause is sociopathic billionaires fighting for economic hegemony.</p><p>The large majority of soldiers, on both sides of this conflict, are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/conscripted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conscripted</span></a>. Grease for the different sides’ money machines. They are pawns. And they are largely innocent human beings — your nephew, your child, your grandson. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Shame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shame</span></a> on those who celebrate the deaths of those caught up in this conflict. They, are the inhumane <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/orks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orks</span></a>. They deserve every ounce shame moral human beings can pour upon their evil heads.</p>
