We really need to get over that fear. We're all going to die because of soulless billionaires anyways, we may as well send all the demons straight to Hell.

I’m not sure why I can no longer see it, but there was a comment in response to yours that said something like “In that case, do you and your family volunteer to be at ground zero?” I wonder if an idiot like that seriously thinks to themselves “Ah, wow, in the case that I get in a car accident, I don’t want that instant-death, teleported-to-oblivion crap. I want to linger on, watching my family suffer the horrors of the apocalypse, and know that I was snarky on the Internet that one time.”

I do. I volunteer. I'm not Ukrainian, but I live in Kyiv now. I'd rather be at ground zero than live in a world where a country with nukes can attempt genocide simply because they have nukes.

Today, I'm weeping because my beloved Kharkiv is burning as it has for months. My friends are all sending me photos and videos of the fire.

They didn't only bomb a hypermarket. They also bombed a park and a residential area. None of the sites bombed have anything remotely military nearby. Its just pure senseless slaughter.

Please think about kharkiv today. Think about the lives gone and the livelihoods ruined. And then stop praying. Continue being angry. Use that anger to promote change.

Edit: me, a grown ass man, who went to a concert tonight that I bought tickets for months ago in kyiv, wept like a baby when the artist had a sign saying 'we are with you kharkiv' in Ukrainian before the gig started. That's how much a simple message can affect people and why it's important to share your thoughts and solidarity. I'm not even ukrainian, yet I was crying my eyes out.

This dude must have felt embarrassed when he thought he pulled a fast one on you. Fuck the nukes, attack russia, all this does is enable russia to think they can keep getting away with this
