This is a very brave and compassionate young woman, this journalist Bonnel. I hope she stays safe, or perhaps the word should be "alive," and continues to report the truth from Donbass. I didn't have time to read this yesterday, so thanks for this, Frances.
This really gives me a sense of perspective... While everyone, I think, has had struggles with the whole covid thing and beyond, being bombed by your own govt. and living in a basement all the time, not to mention the fear, the deaths, the ongoing destruction... I feel my own troubles are minor in comparison, and ... they are.
Thank you Frances. Watching Gonzalo Lira now. Can’t wait to go to work tomorrow and listen to every Complaining sack of shit talk about their boring weekend…as the world implodes around them….HOW!?
"Fucked up beyond all recognition!" came the response!
I did laugh!
Your series of questions amused me all the more after he told me that.
You seem to have a total downer on yourself!
Why do you think you are so "toxic"?
I have a universe of space between me and this fubar world and it comes down to a solid morality and ethics. I can observe the nonsense and never feel responsible for it or ineffective within it.
Just be grateful that you are able to recognise it in all its fubariness - there are many who think it is cool and normal!!
It took me a good 6 months of alienating my wife and young kids with my ranting and bad moods, generated by this FUBAR world, before I realised how much I was damaging them and my relationship them. Somehow, with the aid of a bhuddist/jesus hybrid outlook i managed to turn myself around. Unfortunately I still need an outlet and luckily I have a very patient, wonderful mother, who sits and listens to me blow off for about an hour every week.
You want to talk about (not lecture!) subjects that really matter!
How is that toxic? Surely it is more toxic to act as if everything is ticking along nicely? You don't strike me as the kind of bloke who wants to bore people to death discussing the dimensions of his courgettes or onions! That would be myopic and assumes that everyone loves gardening.....
You should be proud of yourself.... you do have a functional moral compass otherwise the fubariness would not bother you at all.
I get the impression that someone has crushed your confidence, maybe a woman who was more guilty of narcissism than you will ever be!

Scott Ritter is also extremely good on this topic.

That is exactly how I feel about it.... she delivered the atmosphere so sensitively that it makes a lasting impression.
I had to ask my son what "fubar" means!
