@davidaugust@mastodon.online Horrendous, yet I spot glee in the reactions. Over a million killed now - many forced into the Russian army. Lured into it by recruiters spinning lies about other work. People from Botswana, Uganda, South Africa and Kenya duped by recuiters from “Russian Houses”; conscripts and forced laborers from North Korea and Russia. People, not “orcs”, or “vermin”, or “subhumans”.
As noted many times, the dictators and oligarchs are the same everywhere. As are the people they send into meat grinders to further their interest. I find no joy in these horrors.

@js@mastodon.nl I’m not seeing a lot of joy in the replies, so much as relief that the aggression russia has chosen is not bearing them fruit, and instead gives them loses too. Maybe I am being optimistic, but I don’t see a lot of people rejoicing at the loss of life, but instead the celestial order of a bully paying a price.
