Comment on Current events dictate that I post this.
Yliaster@lemmy.world 11 hours agoI’m glad I’m finally seeing someone else that’s actually both pro-palestine AND pro-ukraine for once. It’s usually mutually exclusive — I don’t understand why. Literally every single pro-palestine person I’ve seen otherwise has been pretty vocally anti-Ukraine.

That’s mostly the internet though. If I talk to my friends and almost all my colleagues, they overwhelmingly and strongly hold these two views.
For instance, at the lunch table at work (about 8 ppl there, somewhere in Europe, during a discussion about Trump) I uttered the phrase “I think we need to start viewing the US as an enemy state under the current administration”, fully expecting to set off a fierce discussion. Instead everyone was like, “yup, sounds about right” and carried on with their lunch.
Point is: talk to people outside the internet and they may surprise you.

I’m glad it’s better over there, because in my [limited] friend group and family, nobody is pro-ukraine.
