    Politicians defend their own interests and position, they do not care about people look at how they are all supporting the genocide in gaza right now and how they support dictators around the world like in saudi arabia. Ukraine people are defending themself but the ukrainian government it’s defending his filthy interests and a bunch of invisible lines on the maps

      You’re very wrong about Ukraine just being lines on a map, I too hate borders in principle but the reality is it actually affects real peoples ability to live their own lives.

      Imagine you own a house and you’re living in it but then I’m your neighbor and I decide that I’m paving over your vegetable garden and storing rusty metal in your living room, would you still think property lines are just invisible lines on a map or would those lines be very significant to you?

        Imagine you own a house

        The reality is that people don’t own shit anymore, the average living room can barely fit a sofa and nobody has a garden oh yeah but they still have their property lines.
