I don’t quite get the hype. Yes, it’s great that the most powerful country in the world does some sensible foreign policy sometimes. But I’d really want it to be the norm, not the rare and celebrated occurrence. Are we really that pathetic as humanity? We totally are.

P.S. May 1

Maybe I understand and share the hype now. Sure, it was a long and painful road for the States’ governmental machine to approve it, but I didn’t seem to realize how large a $61B aid bill is. It is rather large, isn’t it?

It can be difficult to comprehend big numbers. It is always helpful to compare them with other big numbers to understand the scale.

During the last year of the Korean War, the U.S. annual war expenditures comprised about 14.1% of the country’s GDP. The $61B bill comprises about 0.2% of the GDP. That is… disappointing noninvolvement in the conflict that is probably more consequential.

However, we have to be realistic about the modern-day powers. Maybe 0.2% of the United States GDP is all it takes to defeat a failed terrorist state? Here is another comparison.

So-called russia spent around $150B a year on its war efforts. Now we’re talking. Even if they theoretically could spend twice as much, the $61B aid would still counter a substantial chunk of that. On top of that, remember that the U.S. is not a sole participant. Add the aid from Europe, the quality of NATO’s equipment, the sanctions, etc., and the overall picture is not that bad.

If I were a Belarusian, I’d seriously consider tightening relations with Ukraine. It’s in Ukraine’s interest to protect my culture since it would distance me from Moscow. And they could learn my language in a week. Not many people of Belarus seem to be interested.

I don’t wanna portray Belarusian as a shallow language, of course. It is just very similar to Ukrainian. Search for a chart of the lexical distance between the European languages.

I sometimes see older people who take bots/brainrots too seriously and invest time and effort debating, analyzing their messages. I feel sorry for them. I hope they enjoy their time. If they don’t, someone must introduce them to the dead internet theory.

The russian military planes are trying to fly as close to Ukraine as possible to deliver rockets and bombs, but quite often that ends up in Ukraine destroying those planes.

Attempt to murder civilians with explosives, only to be neutralized soon after.

Pure terrorism.

At least classic suicide bombers don’t need a million-dollar plane to achieve the same. Pathetic.

Give me a single reason I should respect a classic suicide bomber less than a russian one. The former saves so much money, which could be spent to treat cancer patients, for example.

One should not call russians orcs. Orcs are resource-efficient.

It feels that the invasion of Iraq was extremely wasteful, so I wanted to compare. ChatGPT says the US spent 1.27% of its GDP during the most active year. It says so-called russia spent 10.5% of its GDP during the first year of its invasion of Ukraine.

I checked Wikipedia. This and that pages on the invasion of Ukraine are written by
RUSSIANS
in
ENGLISH.
And put under the “extended protection.”

This is nuts! I checked the page of the invasion of Iraq in Arabic. No protection. The authors are Arabs. Americans just don’t care.

I remember that someone once created a chart that shows that the number of articles from media outlets designed to defame Ukraine (particularly with the “Ukraine’s Nazi Problem” narrative) went from basically nonexistent before the war to overwhelming during the full-scale invasion. And that’s only the articles from the media, which are easy to track. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The situation elsewhere is ugly. They use every possible channel and every possible language to influence opinions: TikTok videos, movies, books, and, as I’ve discovered now, Wikipedia too.

Fucking rustards are such tryhards. Trying to fill every nook and cranny with their foul stench.

I don’t believe their efforts are mostly government-controlled. The sub-feces do it voluntarily. I’ve noticed no uniformity in their approach. There is no coordination, only a joined passion to stick their mouths in every possible crack and shout, “We are the greatest! Those who we attack are the worst!”

I mean, even on Xitter (which is supposedly unavailable without a VPN), for every one reply from a reasonable human I get ten braindead spam replies from literal russians.

But also another ten braindead spam replies from non-russians too. I am free from an illusion in which russians are the only pestilence of this damn planet.

Probably, I’m still a libertarian, but… I thank goodness that the average politician is smarter than the average voter.

Probably, I’m still a libertarian, but… I too have problems with capitalism. Although my views are surely unusual. While the majority of anti-capitalists are angry that the poor retards have too little money, I believe that the poor retards have too much.

Money is the most powerful voting mechanism. It drives progress, creates trends. I want retards to have LESS voting power, NOT MORE.

Retards with extra money are why we have junkies lying on the streets. Retards with extra money are why we see infuriated gamblers kicking slot machines. Retards with extra money drive people to become sex workers, casino owners, drug dealers, grifters. Also, it goes beyond the level of an individual. Retarded nations with tons of extra resources are why we have so-called russia attempting to violently expand.

Maybe there is not enough capitalism in the world? A truly capitalist free market may be better at enforcing natural selection. Junkies will overdose to death. Gamblers will lose everything and starve. Expansionist terrorist formations will be nuked to oblivion by the more advanced civilizations.

Or it may never work very well. The problem is that wealth and intelligence are only weakly correlated. Thus, braindead but passionate scammers will often end up better financially than scientists who aren’t driven by money.

On top of that, high intelligence does not guarantee the good use of money either. I believe that virtue and intelligence are also positively but weakly correlated. Thus, while most intelligent people will invest their money into something meaningful (such as scientific research, innovation, infrastructure, manufacturing efficiency, education, etc.) some will inevitably invest in golden toilets to fuel their insecurities.

So much potential… is wasted.

Look. Isn’t that the most beautiful thing you’ve seen in your entire life?

No? How about this?

I love fractals so much! I believe, if one were to assemble them in just the right pattern, they would become self-conscious. I just lack the intelligence to understand how…

Fractals can create mesmerizing worlds of infinite depth while obeying just a few simple instructions. Observing their intricacy, I can really feel the adage: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Infinite depth is not required even. I become spellbound after several iterations of self-replication.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

Take away our daily bread,
So we create anew and improve.
Keep us accountable for our trespasses,
As we ought to keep us accountable.
Lead us into temptation,
Thus we shall prove our devotion.
Deliver us to evil,
So we banish it in Thy name.

For Thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.

One must admit that the Romani people are immensely smarter than so-called russians. Roma don’t claim to be the rightful successors of the long-gone Roman Empire. They don’t try to invade and control its former territories. And the same applies to the Romanians.

The Muscovites, having low linguistic and general intelligence, became forever confused individuals after their rebranding. Now they won’t bloody rest. They won’t stop invading the territories of the long-gone kingdom of Rus’ until other people stop them.

Before recently, I wasn’t aware just how much their overlords made them believe that they have some strong, almost spiritual, connection to Kyiv. More civilized nations must help the Muscovites and the occupied peoples understand that they have their own land that they can cherish and develop. Either this or keep on murdering them until they are no longer capable of aggression. Whatever you fancy more.

“They LIED about the Tooth Fairy.
They LIED about the Boogeyman.
They LIED about Santa Claus.
But now THEY expect us to BELIEVE their NARRATIVE about Humpty Dumpty???”

Shut up and mop that floor.
