Ahh I see you are a Russian genocide supporter, you weren't able to prove otherwise and us just saying words with no evidence is enough to prove our point that you are a supporter right? I mean I didn't have to do a google search to know that about you, you're famously a supporter of Russia

You have to be a troll my friend. That, or just unhinged and deep in the delusion and copium. Either way it's been hilarious and very entertaining to see what you think counts as reasoned arguments come on and on. The using of racial slurs while accusing others of "racism" was the cherry on the cake (I'm also white by the way, like most Ukrainians)

Yeah Skiluros, please tell us how you're not a supporter yourself

Yep as I expected, nothing about supporting the annexation or openly working with Russian propaganda/intel services. In fact what I'm seeing from googling that is many examples of him actually publicly condemning the Russian governments actions over the years, including the invasion of Ukraine. If he's under Russian employ as you say, I'm very surprised they didn't fire him years ago

But yeah you're clearly someone who sees the Ukrainian government and NATO as perfect and could never do anything wrong and will continue to do so. So anyone who says even slightly different is worthy to be demonised by you, whether it's actually true or not they even said anything like that. And before you accuse me of being a "Russia sympathiser" or whatever I completely believe Russia is the aggressor and that we should be supoorting Ukraine. Just not that Ukraine and NATO have been 100% good themselves

Like, for instance, it's also funny that people can't see that NATO are loving the invasion. It means they don't have to all openly go to war with Russia to severely weaken it, something they've always wanted. They can just use Ukraine in a proxy war and allow the country and people to suffer all the hardships while the rest of NATO just pump Ukraine with war funding and the politicians in government in those countries get an easy win in popularity. Starmer is a great example of this, just about everything he's done is unpopular and the UK population for the most part are at the very least disappointed in him. The only time he was really popular was when he was all nice to Zelenskyy after the terrible Trump meeting he went through. Which is exactly what Starmer should have done of course, but it just shows how much of an easy goal it is

Wow I don't know if I've ever come across anyone who holds all of those specific opinions. It's genuinely interesting to me. I'd have expected "he's a raging antisemite" instead of "good on Gaza", given the rest of what you said

Or is it when you say "literally everything else" do you just mean "other foreign policy stuff"?

This will likely get buried in all the other replies and you may well have already done what I suggest. But I have to say this because it doesn't seem (from me skim reading anyway) that anyone else has really touched on this but have you been to a psychiatrist, ideally more than one? Done any research yourself beyond just the depression?

I ask because it seems like so many people just label themselves as having depression and that's it. They don't think about there being an underlying cause that has to be examined and worked on/healed, they only focus on that one depression symptom.

I'm a huge example of this, I'm in my early 30s and spent my whole adulthood so far thinking I just had depression and anxiety, that's it. A few years ago I found out I had ADHD and thought that was the answer. But it really wasn't what was causing bad feeling so much. And so over the past year I discovered I have CPTSD. Bad. A lot of trauma over my life that I wasn't aware of and living as a shame-bound person was making me feel, think and behave the way I do, for the most part. Knowing that made it so much easier to know what path to take to heal.

And in contrast to what so many others have said here, I've healed for the most part and it happened very suddenly, over the course of a month or so actually. I won't go into details as it's long and not needed but yeah it came from going through a very horrible, abusive struggle for most of the past two years. I got out of it and did had many realisations about myself and life because of it. I saw that, despite what I thought all those years, I am a strong and good person and my life is, in fact, beautiful. It's like I can hear music and see colour again after so many years without. I've never felt so genuinely happy and contended with myself and life. That's simplifying it too, I could write an essay on my experience and the difference

There's still more work to be done, of course, but I was blown away by how much change I've felt and in such a short space of time. This isn't me saying you should seek out and also go through some terrible ordeal at all, of course. I just wanted to get across the importance of looking at potential underlying causes and mental conditions, not just trying to treat one or two symptoms. And also that healing isn't always a slow, linear journey. There are people who have major depression and take a psychedelic once and they don't feel that major depression ever again after. The human psyche is a powerful and not well understood thing that has a huge range of difference from person to person

Of course the SWP came out and made signs for this. Is there a single leftist cause they won't co opt?

Using the term "woke mind virus" is strong evidence of a mind virus

Except in all the many, many countries where we get a bounce back and forth between centrism/right-wing and far right, which is far more common than the scenario you describe. I don't understand how you can look at the US and Europe right now, for instance, and think that centrism never gets a look in and its jumping between communism and fascism all the time. And no, regular socialism is not far left. It isn't just centre-this and then far-this, the middle ground exists in both wings, despite what centrists seem to think

Complaining about big things that actually matter is banned. But the usual banal complaining we do all the time about arbitrary things that anyone in a non affluent country could only dream of having as all their "problems"...they could never take that from us. Might actually be the only thing that would spark a revolution in this country, thinking about it

So glad the liberals, both in government and voters, that always lead us to fascism are so invested in shit like "respectability politics", politics "being boring" and being on their supposed intellectual high horse because "emotions are bad, you should never raise your voice when people are starving and being genocided, you're just the same as the far right." But then while saying this just doing mostly what the far right want, pretending it's somehow their idea. It's really working so well to stop them.

But then the liberals would happily throw us into fascism if it meant there was an "I told you so" they could somehow twist out of it to say to the left

Well I suppose I'll take that silver lining then, given how our continents going for the most part
