I’ll preface with saying that I’m only a random Communist. Please take what I say with a grain of salt, even if I come off as confident.

Regardless of your opinion on the war, it is not going to affect its course unless you go fight there, with a few exceptions.

Unless you live in Russia or Ukraine, your priorities should be:

  • pressuring your country’s government for non-interventionism, including sanctions. Capitalist States have only the interest of capital in mind, and their intervention will hurt the people further
  • fighting racism in your communities, especially the new wave of anti-Russian hate.

If you live in Poland or Romania, you should also be fighting the racism against non-Ukrainians (mostly foreign students) seeking refuge. Most of them just want to go home. The fact that the police are attacking them is extremely ridiculous.

      Plato used the word literally to describe a certain class of Greek intellectuals. Unless you literally think I am a Sophist from ancient Greece resurrected in 2022, I don’t think that’s what you mean. Sophist meaning fallacious person happened because of Plato, but long after Plato.

        Yes I do in fact believe you are a literal sophist resurrected from ancient Greece.
