    We are witnessing the fall of man. Us Europeans are surrounded on both sides by absolute madness. We’re just trying to live our lives here, goddammit. I wasn’t counting on this type of world for my kids when we were starting our family in 2018. Fuck, if I knew then… I don’t know what we would’ve done.

      What a profound way to finally receive comeuppance for the colonial era. To be flanked by the madness Western Europe’s imperialism cultivated in the world for centuries. I can’t think of a more poetic outcome. Its beautiful almost in a tragic way.

      If this message is from Eastern Europe please disregard.

        Northern Europe. Far north. It’s poetic in a grand sense, spanning time and space, sure, but when you look at the countries now, we’re not trying to start any shit. Just trying to do the best by our people in a democratic and peaceful way. I dunno wtf Israel, USA, whatever tf countries in Asia and Africa are trying to do by all this murdering and fascism…ing. “Just be nice.” Right? Not that hard. 😩
