In fairness, I’ll take a committed pacifist over the standard “west = best” mindset any day. At least they’re likely to have some principles in regards to human welfare.
When I press people in my life about their outward support for Ukraine it’s never framed around their support for Ukrainian citizens even, just around the concept of being a good investment for western interests to weaken Russia.
Unfortunately, most of the “both sides” pacifists I’ve met will always do the “both sides bad B̸̡̪̏̎̆̄̄̃͒͊̓̈́̀̔̚͝Ȗ̸̡̡̨͓͓̦̙͙͍̪̘̯͔͙̥̇͆͆̓̊̀̏̆̈̆͝ͅT̶̲̻͔͙̗̫̮̯̰͉̟͔̘̩͎̆͋̈́̿ͅ…” stuff all the time, and will always side with US interests.

Seems like they’ve figured out people dying in war is bad which is more than I can say for anybody with a ukraine flag in their profile.
Hell the people with ukraine flags all seem to think Ukrainians dying in the meat grinder for MIC profits is the best thing ever.
Isn’t that the fucking truth.

It’s fucking disgusting. Ghouls.
I’ve even seen people on twitter who approved of maximisation of both Russian and honorary white almost-Russian casualties.
the bar isn’t even on the floor, it is underground beneath the soils of lemuria
Yeah potentially they’re a confused internationalist at their core.
Or a very committed deep ecologist. I dig their read on philosophy but their views on non-violence are the extremely Nordic flavor of privileged.
This person is almost certainly a Quaker based on the flag.

Agreed, like i can’t see this person calling Russian people “orcs”
