On Reddit, there are two ways to see Russian people: Brainwashed toddlers who have no idea what’s going on in Ukraine or hordes of viscous, evil orcs (the amount of Tolkien lingo I’ve seen to describe this conflict is disturbing. I don’t think he’d want anything to do with it.) that should be destroyed. On Twitter, it’s common to see Ukranian journalists, probably Nazi simps themselves, call for the average Russian civillian to be punished and equate their culture to some warlike barbarian tribe. And on Facebook, you can just say “Kill all Russians” and get away with it.
Like I always knew that the West was slowly sliding into fascism, but I did expect it to happen this quickly.

Change can happen here, but not without a nationwide movement backed by socialist parties and it’s about time for another one. The Black Lives Matter movement didn’t have one and look what it accomplished. It was the biggest movement in US history and the government responded by exacerbating the problems it was protesting against…
Also, the Civil Rights Act doesn’t need to be repealed de jure for it to be repealed de facto.
The USA is still extremely segregated and still flagrantly denies suffrage to black people by placing as many obstacles as possible like voter ID laws, limited ballot boxes, denying time off work to vote, preventing them from voting by mail, etc. This country is a fucking disgrace.
