| Subject: Human Degeneracy Watch: Race-Hustling Leftists Turn Ukraine War Into Ultra-Cringe Virtue-Signal Woke-Fest Thu Mar 10, 2022 9:21 pm | |
| Twitter blue checks, a majority of whom a week ago couldn’t find Ukraine on a map and didn’t know the national flag’s colors, are now devoted to the cause of liberating the oppressed people of Ukraine.
To be clear, Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters and Eric Swalwell are not sufficiently devoted to hit the trail and fight the good fight in the trenches with the cold and snow (gross!). But definitely they’re devoted enough to offer up empty symbolic support for a war they won’t ever have a personal stake in, take selfies, and post their undying devotion to the oppressed people of Ukraine to social media.
We’re about to head in for @POTUS's first #SOTU! Looking forward to hearing his plan to protect democracy at home & abroad, reduce costs for working families, and continue our safe transition back to normal thanks to the tools we have to fight #COVID19. pic.twitter.com/qp4YLLHAvj

From a certain vantage point, the left taking up the cause of Ukraine at all may come as a surprise, given the Ukrainians’ skin and eye color.
The corporate state, generally speaking, likes their refugees a little more ethnic because they’re more efficiently cast as more oppressed. It’s just more convenient for the “muh white supremacy” narrative, which they can’t help themselves from complaining about even while they voice nominal support for Ukrainian civilians.
Cognitive dissonance:
“The mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes.”
