    Yup as expected everyone has more or less do forgotten about the Ukraine war. Even complete media backing of Ukraine and blanket coverage had no chance of changing that. Ukraine got played by the NATO countries and Zelensky is a dumbass. Russia was insane to invade but this is not turning out as bad for them as I thought. They are cut off to a degree from the global economy but so much of the global economy is just pie in the sky bullshit it doesn't matter as much since they can meet their food and energy needs independently (although not being able to import high tech goods will have an impact)

        Long haired preachers come out every night

        Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right

        But when asked how 'bout something to eat

        They will answer with voices so sweet

        You will eat, by and by

        In that glorious land above the sky way up high

        Work and pray, live on hay

        You'll get pie in the sky when you die

        The salvation army also exploits ND people and pays them below minimum wage through labor loopholes.

        The Preacher And The Slave was written by the legendary IWW organiser Joe Hill and (like several other wobbly songs) set to the tune of a hymn often played by Salvation Army bands.

        It was not at all uncommon for traditional labour songs to be set to popular tunes that workers would already know.

        I did not know that but it's an amazing little tidbit! Thanks for sharing. :heart-sickle:

            I actually already know him a bit, I just don't think I've heard and picked up on that line in that song. He wrote There Is Power In A Union and The Scab and stuff right? Same Joe Hill?

        That's actually very cool to know

        And now of course the phrase is bastardized and used against socialists by accusing US of promising immaterial bullshit instead of concrete solutions

        Yeah it's pretty amazing. I mean Tesla is definitely a trillion dollar company right? Right? 😂

        "There'll be pie in the sky when you die!"

        I love that the wobblies used to go around picking fights with the starvation army. It's one of my favorite historical facts.

      It's insane, but if you take a step back and think about Putin speech when Stalin made a mistake for letting Hitler invade the Soviet first. Putin probably smell blood see an opening when the west is raddle with inflation and social upheaval, and feel that if he keep waiting, then the Ukrainian would be more prepare to strike first, that's when the west should be able to sort themselves out and give green light for the nationalist to strike the Donbass region, that's when the damage that Russia take would be more than right now.

        I mean insane because that's a huge decision and going against the global hegemon is pretty nuts. Not that they didn't have legitimate grievances but a full scale war was excessive and even they (Russia) have backed off to the east and south now

          I'm not saying Putin and company were sincere, but there nominal causus belli was to come to the defense of the DPR and the LPR. Ukraine was massing for an invasion of the eastern districts the day Russia invaded.

        It's still very much everywhere in the UK, but whatever small degree of the public pretending to give a shit about ordinary people on the ground is now gone. It's all party politicking and stand-in national jingoism now.

        I say this because nobody I know even talks about it and I barely see it mentioned anywhere (but I don't ever watch TV news)

        It never had much attention in my tiny ass town. We hear way more about Bukele than Putin. The city cares about it more but even then it's only those who speak English and consume US media that still care.
