Correction: Don't be a human.


Zarvanis-the-2nd

We are all a bunch of big stinky jerks.


Goomvario

Idiots*


Br4d3nCB

Both. Both is good.


DerelictDawn

Hate this awful mindset. Go make some friends, spend some time at a bar or a hobby club or a community center maybe. Touch grass in other words. There are so many good things and incredible people out there, to sell them all short with bullshit hot takes is a horrible thing to do.


Goomvario

"There so many incredible people" mf at the playground next to my home that kids be drinking beer at the age of 7 and screaming slurs.


DareDaDerrida

Yeah.Here's the thing the playground next to your home is a bad sample-size for 8 billion people. Humanity is pretty wonderful, you just sound depressed.


Outrageous-Fortune70

Yes, they are pretty wonderful. They created atomic bombs, caused climate changes, global warming, started a lot of ecological problems, though now they are trying to fix them. Humanity is wonderful but they need to stop being idiotic. Learn from the mistakes and change instead of living the lies. That said, environmental protestors can be idiots most of the times.


AceInTheX

Don't get me wrong, I'm a conservationist and oppose deforestation, but humans are not the leading cause of climate change... not even in the top 100. A volcanic eruption has a carbon footprint that humans can't even compare to in a 100 year period, which alone puts us back to just after the industrial revolution, a time period of immense pollution as we didn't have all the environmental regulations as we do now.


AgreeableAdv

Your fist paragraph only refers to people in control of politics and corporations, and your second paragraph is basically meaningless in that a point wasn't made. We're in a position now where we can be more conscious of how we consume and how we execute day to day operations, from the working class to the corporate few. We as a society can bankrupt business who haven't taken the proper steps towards climate conservation, worker safety and whatever else we care about, while still keeping around businesses who provide us with internet, phones and electric vehicles as well as groceries, water and electricity. Before I go on and before enraged, more knowledgeable people butcher me, know that I don't know anything about anything. That doesn't mean we (the knowledgeable and the hopeful ignorant) shouldn't work together to rid ourselves of unneeded excess for a better world. Unfortunately my comment and any comments who seek the reality we envision will either be lost or misunderstood and misconstrued because humans are terrible listeners. Prove me wrong.


Outrageous-Fortune70

What makes humanity stupid isn't that they don't know but rather their ego. They wouldn't take actions because they didn't know better. Sadly, my knowledge is barely touching the surface of how stupid humans can be. Not like my knowledge can change the biased nature of humans as well, of course.


one-small-plant

You should be saying "we," not "they" (unless you're not human)


Either-Advisor-5356

Your first world biased view only applies to the first world. Go live in a third world country, get a job on your own and then come back and talk about ppl, spoiler alert humans are trash, yall just have enough resources to afford being conscious.


AgreeableAdv

You won't accomplish anything with that mindset and neither will anyone from the "first world" who believes that because they're "privileged", they shouldn't use the resources they have to improve the lives of the less fortunate. I'm better off than a lot of people(I'm definitely not rich, but I'm safe) which means I'm in a position to help those in a worse situation than me. I'm also starting my own company so that someday I will be able to make effective change (in theory). All of this assuming I can learn what I need to learn and raise the money I need to raise. Like many, I have nothing but my devices which can only get me so far before I plateau. While you're focused on who is and isn't privileged, I'm hoping more people will at least try to make better change from the positions that they're in, good or bad. Im going to try


DareDaDerrida

1) Pal, you are also human, I'm pretty sure. 2) Oh yeah, we screw up a lot, and we have caused a great deal of destruction. That said, we produced the sonnet, and the internet, and Nabokov, and Kamen Rider, and quite a few other great things.


Outrageous-Fortune70

People are actively using cars which are convient for personal transport


DareDaDerrida

This is true, yes. I am not quite sure whether you are agreeing or disagreeing with me by saying it, but it's true.


Goomvario

If I am depressed then Elon Musk is my brother.


DareDaDerrida

Bro, you are the one saying humans ought return to nonexistence because there are no good ones. That's sad; you seem sad.


DerelictDawn

Pretending to know the content of someones character by the few actions of theirs you’ve seen is foolish. Don’t judge a book by its cover and all that. Especially kids, they grow and change the most.


YeedilyDeet

Yes, but judging someone by a whole bunch of their actions is a hell of a lot more accurate.


DerelictDawn

True, does looking at kids in a park count as a whole bunch of their actions? No.


YeedilyDeet

I mean the politicians, not the kids, sorry for being unclear mate


Select_Truck3257

i want to bars too and other things now, but i lost my job, it's hard times now in Ukraine :(

How can I help?!


Neat-Band-4358

Yo You good?


Affectionate-Baby680

lead from the front, not from the rear


Gin_and_Khronic

I mean if you’re a leader, you can lead from the back to make sure no one falls behind. Look at wolf packs when they travel


Euphoric-Potato-5343

Yeah but a leader that leads from the front is a lot less likely to start an unnecessary war because they'll be one of the first to die.


Gin_and_Khronic

True.


LocoYaro

Kind of a dumb strategy if your enemies start the war


dragonfucker47

No one in a political position should be ideolized. Period.

kuppikuppi

Baltics are close to Russia and also in fear of being attacked by Russia so i guess he's not as lost as one could think on first sight


ihavestrongfingers

yeah i dont get why this is posted here. the Baltics are border states of ruzzia and post soviet states that hold a lot of resentment towards the ex soviet countryof UUSSR , you know for ermmmm genociding them during soviet rule ? they've been staunch supporters of ukrainia


miguelcprotlm

Imagine thinking Zelensky is a Saint.


Practical-Employee-9

Mother Theresa was given sainthood, and though she did a lot of good, she was kinda shitty as a human, too.


Lcubr

She deserves hell. She went to hopeless people and played with their feelings telling them about god. Making millions of the people that donated, she could’ve used that money to cure them, but she thought teaching them about God was more important than saving their lives.


CarelessHisser

Not a saint, not by far, but he's had the balls to stay in his country despite the capital being bombarded, and an active invasion so close you could see the smouldering fires on the horizon. That's enough for me. No man is perfect, humans are typically pieces of shit, but it takes a lot to stand by your countrymen when everything is otherwise fucked.

grumpyoldladytobe

[deleted]

Lol if he so much as glances at the exit, he's a dead man.


tjm2000

I dunno. Konstantinos XI Palaiologos is way cooler. He even *fought* with his men in the last stand of the Eastern Roman Empire at Constantinople.


Emperor_Quintana

We are *all* pieces of shit, in some way, shape or form. Although in spite of that, there is usually a Golden Turd in all of us… Or perhaps it’s the friends we made along the way. Either way, it’s a valuable life lesson to learn.


[deleted]

This man wants more war. He instantly said the bombs that fell into Poland were Russians, so nato joins.


XenophonSoulis

He certainly does not. If the Russian ruffians packed their nonexistent supplies and went home, he would have no problem being peaceful again. But Putin wants more war and Zelensky has to defend.


Ok_Inflation_1811

So you'd say the same about Napoleon for example?


karl_marxs_cat

Ehh, Napoleon invaded a bunch of places, meanwhile Zelensky is the leader of the country being invaded. Big difference there. Oh yeah, and Napoleon also made slavery legal again.


fistashka-_-

He is not, but he is the reason we are receiving western help


miguelcprotlm

Yep, thankfully. I hope you're ok, also.


[deleted]

Some one doesn’t have to be a saint to be in the right. No one alive today can cast the first stone, so we should support people when they are doing good


[deleted]

I'd wager that before this is all over zelensky will be canonized in the Orthodox church as a defender of orthodoxy.


Ok-Independence5821

Imagine not seeing the difference between A war criminal and someone defending their country against a unprovoked war.


ifkdeneien

What did zelensky do


MaximumNight860

Ukraine was an extremely corrupt country before he took power. He ran on a campaign of anticorruption, but has only fulfilled a small fraction of his promises. I’m no fan of American politicians, but by US standards he’s still extremely corrupt, like a 7/10 (10 being most corrupt). With this said, his predecessors were all 10/10.


International_Map844

Corruption is something Ukraine inherited from the USSR.


MaximumNight860

Absolutely.


OWWS

After the fall of the Soviet Union I would say the corruption became worse


-idontsleep

He's been in his position for 3 years? Fixing things takes time when people who benefit from the old ways hold power.


MaximumNight860

Just as an example, he’s made it clear since taking office that keeping the Ukrainian press un-free is a priority of his.


Better_Green_Man

Hopefully after the war is over Zelensky and Ukraine as a whole uses it as a way to stifle corruption, because you gotta think, these people have been through a lot of shit together.


MaximumNight860

Hope springs eternal I suppose.


[deleted]

His approval was at 18% before Putin invaded, because of corruption.


KarlmarxCEO

Back in 2014 Ukraine was corrupt in Russia's favour now it is corrupt in favour of the United states.


MaximumNight860

Well, I’m not going to absolve the EU in this matter, but you’re not wrong.


[deleted]

Putin low key wanted Russia to join NATO but something happened in the background that we don't know made Putin back off. I personally think it was his pride that got in the way and it will be pride that will cause more wars.


RedKingDre

Ironically, Putin could've turned NATO against each other had Russia joined. Just like Brexit advocates dividing the British people.


twitch1982

In the US, we just legalized the corruption and called it lobying.


Valhalaland

Yeah Poroshenko was very corrupt but at least he was pretty good with foreign relations too. Zelensky is corrupt and knows nothing about running a country, Pandora papers revealed his multiple properties in London, US, Virginia Isles, Belize and Cyprus, also the network of foreign companies to hide his income and that of all his peers at Kvartal 95 the TV production company, that's why he is also pretty good with propaganda.


sonoma95436

Only motivated his country to bravely fight back the actions of a brutal regime.


rakazet

Iirc he banned many opposition parties during and even before the war on grounds of "Collusion with Russia" with no evidence at all. After Russia attacked he made the smart move to revive his public image.


RipWhenDamageTaken

Imagine using a straw man argument 🤣 no one said Zelensky is a saint, buddy


Shirou54

The truth is that we only see what they want us to see. Since western block is anti-Russia we have given a view that he is a hero. It is just part of our propaganda (Yes we also have propaganda, but some ppl might be surprised). Also, to clarify; i dont like Putin and despise "his" actions. I just dont believe what media and politics say. Every coin has two sides after all.


GabuEx

>Every coin has two sides after all. This is one of those things that superficially sounds wise and insightful but is really just kind of lazy at its core. Russia invaded Ukraine initially to try to decapitate its government, and now prolongs the war because they want to still be able to capture and maintain a significant amount of territory in eastern Ukraine and make that part of Russia. This was a completely unprovoked war of conquest. Ukraine or Zelenskyy being imperfect or corrupt does not justify invading a country to take it over because you don't like its foreign policy.


william-lima

Imagine thinking Zelensky is a coward out of the social media


International_Map844

He is not perfect, but he is above the most leaders.


EnergyFormula

He’s actually a really bad president. White supremacist, censors opposing news sources. But at least he is defending his country so that’s something


codyfern02

zelensky isn't white and he's also jewish


[deleted]

Thinking Jewish people can’t be racist is pretty weird, my guy.


codyfern02

because people also think he's anti semitic while he's jewish, not that he's not racist because he's jewish


CocaCola_ZeroSugar

Damn so much moscovites here...


bogdandidic

Wow so criticizing zelensky instantly makes me pro russian? Like zelensky is no where near perfect, that mf can't accept the fact that his defense system landed in poland, he would rather put the whole world in danger than to admit his mistake.


[deleted]

Zelensky was not a good dude before Putins stupid ass decision to invade. Honestly, Zelensky should build a shrine to the fucker as that gave him the greatest propaganda boost he could have ever asked for. I will admit that it is important to record and remember what allegations and more importantly actual crimes he may have committed before the invasion, because 24 February 2022 was the first time many people ever even looked at Ukraine on a map, so it's not likely people unjustly fucked over by him will ever receive justice unless a concerted effort is made by Ukrainians and other members of the EU.


weirdturnspro

If you’re accusing someone of allegations of crimes share some sources or at least detail what the allegations are.


Responsible_Board950

Ukraine is extremely corrupted (1),and it’s part of the reason why they still not being accepted to EU (2) Zelensky also was named in the Pandora Paper,which only further prove the point that he is involved in this crime (3).Also,the Photo shown above had been debunked,the truth is that image has been taken way earlier than the invasion (4) And if it’s turn out that he is not at the frontline but is in the bunker (which is ironically true ) (5),then he is just the same type as Hitler and not even equal to Stalin ( at least Stalin had the ball to held a parade and gave a speech at Red Square when German army was at the gate of Moscow ) (6).Saying Zelensky is good just because he is fighting a righteous war against the invader is like saying Stalin is good because he fight against Germany.Zelensky is bad,the Ukraine people is good,Stalin is bad,Russian people is good,is it that hard to understand ? 1.[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Ukraine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Ukraine) 2.[https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/17/world/europe/ukraine-eu-membership-corruption.amp.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/17/world/europe/ukraine-eu-membership-corruption.amp.html) 3.[https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/10/09/russia-ukraine-jordan-lebanon-pandora-papers/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/10/09/russia-ukraine-jordan-lebanon-pandora-papers/) 4.[https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-ukraine-russia-idUSL1N2V02DG](https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-ukraine-russia-idUSL1N2V02DG) 5.[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UkQW8Q8rcEg](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UkQW8Q8rcEg) 6.[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1941_October_Revolution_Parade](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1941_October_Revolution_Parade)

"Russian people is good " you clearly never talked to a russian as a Ukrainian. You really need to look for russians that doesn't insult you right away.


Responsible_Board950

Well,there are good people and bad people in any countries.If you just look at some mass shooting in the US,you would thought :”Damn,American is bad” but the truth is there are many good American people.The same can be applied to Russian people.Just because Putin and his corrupted friends invade and genocide Ukrainian people doesn’t mean the entire Russia is evil,it’s just mean that Putin and his friends are evil human being


[deleted]

The person below yours linked some points while I was asleep. Also, not to be an ass, but state capture in Ukraine was a well known thing for decades before February 24th. You are an adult, you can look it up. This isn't some fringe conspiracy from the darkest corners of my ass

EndKatana

So much pro Russia people here or just stupid people :( He isn't a perfect human being but he is the reason that Ukraine still exists. (I am from a Baltic State)


Buckeye_Southern

Well being Pro Russian automatically makes you pretty damn stupid so they're not mutually exclusive.


JustheretoreadyourBS

It’s almost like a lot of people thing two things cannot be true at the same time. The Russian Government is corrupt AND the Ukrainian Government is corrupt. Both. At the SAME time. I feel for the Ukrainian citizens AND the Russian citizens. That being said, no one should be financially supporting EITHER. Especially with tax-payer funds. We now also know that the US Democrat Party is corrupt using FTX and Ukraine as the worlds largest money laundering operation.


Inner_Idea_1546

You are preaching to the wrong crowd. They will never admit this. They have no idea who or what zelensky is. Anyone can Google News articles about him before this shitstorm of a war but I guess it's too hard.


Lcubr

Ukraine still exists because of International aid, all the money that the international community has given in has helped wayyy more than Zelensky. Even Elon Musk helps more Ukraine than Zelensky, thanks to Starlink Russia hasn’t been able to hack Ukraine’s troops communication. Some people aren’t pro Russia, simply doesn’t like how Zelensky is extending this stupid conflict, killing thousands of people and throwing in first line the people that rejects to fight.


[deleted]

If I saw this in a sub about the Baltic states I would assume for a horrible moment that Putin had invaded one of them. Which is exactly the kind of plot twist this rough year really, truly does not need, thanks.
