    • I'm not at all fond, however, of the fact they (along with Progressive Int'l) didn't condemn Russian imperialism or support Ukraine's right to sovereignty.Continuity

    • and the whole picking sides, good v bad spiel, watch a few adam curtis series... it's all made up.renderedred
    • And, actually, not just the least gro-political power, but also little economic power comparatively.Continuity
    • I think I'd rather align myself until someone finally figures out how we can truly stop having to do so, and everyone goes all-in with that plan.Continuity
    • geo-*Continuity
    • totally fine to align. and yeah, it has to be all in thing.renderedred
