Seeing quite the interesting trend during this conflict between Russia and Ukraine. There are very many liberals on the left that could not be bothered fly the Stars and Stripes, with even some amount of animosity towards it flying the Ukrainian flag in their profiles or the colors of the flag. Those that not only couldn't care less about the integrity of our borders, and even are outraged against attempts to secure it, are crying the loudest of the violations of Ukrainian borders.
Lots of outrage and angst over the violation of Ukraine's sovereignty but they do not care for our own. They act like Ukraine is some kind of liberal ally of ours, when they have literal Nazi brigades fighting for them. They have separated families from each other (we were told this is bad) by not allowing males to leave the country. A country that had built a dam to cut off a fresh water to Crimea, a human rights violation. A country that had used indiscriminate long range attacks that are considered war crimes.
Somehow there are so many on the left appearing to be the most patriotic and nationalist Ukrainians there could be, they just aren't Ukrainian. Russia's aggression is terrible and should be condemned, but it's not like there are clear good actors here, not even a little. What the hell has gotten into the left? Why can't they generate anything close to these feelings towards our own country? A country that has more equality, egalitarianism, and liberty than nearly any country to have ever existed? No...all they do is preach hate towards the US, and love towards Ukraine, even though they aren't actually ideological friends at all. Not even a little.
