I won't argue against the idea of sending aid to Ukraine on principle, but I will just mention a few considerations:

  1. Ukraine relies on conscription. Men are being arrested off the street to join the front lines. Millions of men have fled the country, and are now being hunted down in the places they fled to src. In supporting Ukraine's military, the US and EU allies are inadvertently supporting military slavery.
  2. The Ukrainian government has a corruption issue, and it is likely that a lot of the aid being sent is being embezzled. src 1 src 2

Point 1 could be rectified by conditioning aid on reversing the draft. Point 2 may be more difficult to address.

Just want to say here that regardless of the political benefits that can be obtained with violence, I do think all lives matter including Nazis, and I think most people can be convinced of this if they can be shown how similar all our experiences are. It seems like once you realize that a Nazi is essentially a version of yourself with slightly different psychological pressures, you can realize that, as painful as it may be, they are human, and your desire for humans not to suffer extends to them. Realizing this doesn't preclude instrumental violence against them, but it can prevent the feeling of hatred.

Believe it or not, Alex Jones sells his own line of Zapatista coffee called "Patriot blend"

I've never seen Haskell used, but it looks the most readable. I would consider using it if I didn't think it would piss off other devs.

It's possible that there are multiple consciousnesses within a single person, and when each of them reads this post, they all think it refers to them. "You" are just one of the consciousnesses, thinking you are the main one. Or maybe you think it refers to you, but another consciousness in the same body is aware of itself as well as you and laughing at your ignorance.

No worries, there is truth in your joke anyway.

I don't run Lemmy nor am I a tankie, although the creators are Marxist-Leninists, I believe. My youtube channel is mainly anarchist stuff. If you're offended by the Communist Manifesto, maybe you should give it a listen, you might find you were offended by the wrong things.

Can you explain why you think this, and also explain how you reconcile that opinion with his decision to move to Spain in the 1930s to fight Franco?

Are you calling Orwell a fascist figure? He risked his life fighting fascism.
