 Once per season I tend to proactively shake off some followers to avoid audience capture.

This season it is Putin simps. 
 🤘🏻🤘🏻 hue hue you rock  🤘🏻 
 Crazy to see people simp for Putin 
 🔥🔥🔥 
 bukele simps too 🤙 
 G'bye felicia! 
 are you willing to sacrifice any heroes? 
 no clue how anyone in this space can simp for former KGB 
 Next year maybe it will protect against audience capture from the politicized Princeton simps? 
 I didn't even consider the existence of Putin simps. I guess they're out there. 
 And the Trump simps have got to go.

 Interested to hear your views on Israel given you spend so much time in Egypt...Specifically, do you think Bibi is committing genocide? 
 Its funny "genocide" is thrown around when its the jews but 500k massacred in syria and its "civil war". Saudi uses yemeni ppl as target practice for 5 years and its crickets...... but of course. Its the jooooooos fault.  
 Exactly. 
 Nuance and critical thinking are difficult concepts. 
 I think many are incorrectly labeled as Putin simps when what they are actually doing is just trying to push back on the narrative that the West and left are a shining pillar of integrity and honesty. They may not necessarily think he's a good person, and don't go as far as saying that, however they might agree with some of the things he says and support that as a form of supporting free speech, when the rest of the world is trying to cancel him and anyone that appears to support him. 
 would you be able to support the free speech of a man who says your country doesn't exist, that you don't have your language and you should be part of his country? 
 If your country was full of nazis and war criminals yes.

Its ok it will all be over this year.  The comedian zelensky is doing a great job caring for his people 🤣 
 Lol, there is more nazis in an average european football match. Not to mention russian matches. 
 Supporting free speech means people should be allowed to say anything.  
 it's quite clear that he wanted the minsk agreements to happen,  in which even the donbass remained as ukrainian. 

having nukes on anyone's borders aimed at you is a no go for anyone

I'm pretty sure if Russia suggest their nukes could go to Cuba the yanks would go ballistic



 
 Finland recently became NATO member, look how close it to russia. so what, have you heard any concern from russia?
this "nukes close to border" it just verbal smoke. putin do not afraid of NATO.
reasons why russia invade ukraine totally different. 
 Russia did articulate that finlands entry would require a proportionate security response 

nukes on the Ukrainian border was  discussed wrt to to reduced time for nukes to hit moscow, and this was unacceptable

it's clearly multifactorial. ending neo nazi ideology and it's demilitarization, and stopping the shelling of culturally Russian peoples are part of the explicit goals

no doubt Russia now has the world's most capable military, thanks to Sanctions and NATOs war "practice"

I think Russia may not be "afraid", yet the devastating  WW2 reality they copped (which the yanks never appreciate) gives them a healthy respect that war is the last option to pursue 
 > stopping the shelling of culturally Russian peoples

Where and why Ukraine started the shelling of culturally Russian peoples? 
 here's a link from 2015. Kiev started shelling the Donetsk region the year before

there are tons of sources on this. it's merely a matter of finding a source you'd be comfortable with trusting

https://asiatimes.com/2015/03/pepe-escobar-in-eastern-ukraine-howling-in-donetsk/ 
 So, Kyiv started shelling Donetsk region in 2014, although the article says 2015. Why Kyiv started shelling Donetsk specifically? Unfortunatelly I don't see clear answer in this article, can you say it clearly? 


Some notes about the article:

- Photos broken, I would like to see and analize them
- Pepe Escobar (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Pepe_Escobar). "Escobar has also been a commentator for RT and Sputnik News. According to the GEC, both outlets are members of "Russia's disinformation and propaganda ecosystem"
- https://europaobjektiv.com/ - very strange news outlet. 
 
 quote from article - "Europa Objektiv, a German-based non-governmental media project"

interesting, why "german-based" media project registered in Tbilisi 
 I absolutely agree with you

I don't know enough about him personally or politically so I reserve judgement

however, to me it is clear that him and the Russians have a functioning diplomatic core which the West has utterly lost

he looks good in comparison to the western simps

but in a world of functional diplomats, he'd look worse than he does 
 i don't do simping, or even following very much, you may recall me speaking very straight about you one time and getting a good afternoon back... odell also got a serve from me about nostr only after he confessed that he reads x still, months after he started saying nostr only

you aren't special, i'm sure you know this, you are interesting but not special 
 In case you’re wondering what  a mental  delusion hate can bring on , it can create a pride in self censorship and then those who are stuck in that delusion become triggered and latch onto the hatred and they try to keep the flame alive. Hatred’s flame has no power in the light of love, #nostr is for everyone , but not everyone is for #nostr , it’s hard to hide in his place and you’ll never sway me based on any kind of hatred or self censorship, yet , allow me to Pray for your understanding , peace , and awakening from your delusion , #sobeit   

GM and PV , I’m happy to #GFM , Good day ! 
 So any government official? 
 Do it for any government simp and your feed will be a lot better! 
 It helps putin things into perspective like that.

 Enjoy your  Anglo American echo chamber and the WEF.

Your low IQ is showing... 
 Do you have a long-form Lyn on Putin we can read? Would be fascinated by your angle. 
 Un-friending Tucker on NOSTR?...oh wait, he's not here. I suspect he would only be able to do the journalism stuff here that he says is his motivation without the money making part. 
 fuck Putin 
 do it at random. it's like a dropout layer in a CNN 
 Putin is ruthless and I have no doubt he would kill me and my family if that was what he needed to do to advance his political aims. Yet, he does not command the regime that will try to confiscate my bitcoin, or that steals more than half of my income, or that seeks to indoctrinate my children, or who would enable their chemical castration, or take them away from me if I stood in their way.

So, I will not join today's 5 minutes of hate, thank you very much. If that means I will be called a Putin simp, then so be it. I've been called worse (Saddam apologist, anti vaxxer, etc.) for not going along with other psyops. 
 Put em in the middle chief, calm down. 
 Bukele simps bother me more.
