vodka and coke
3 years ago
first and foremost i dont support Vladimir Putin's war with Ukraine, buuuuuuuuuuut.....
it annoys me to no end seeing major corporations and big tech overlords denying services to Russia in an attempt to "stick it to Putin", as if any of the services being denied will remotely hurt Putin's government or Putin himself. who it is hurting are average Russian citizens, who for the most part are as opposed to the war in Ukraine as the rest of the world...maybe try to think this bullshit through before virtue signaling in such a way.
seeing people dumping Russian vodka in the street or banning Tchaikovsky from being played by an orchestra is just moronic, I'm sorry, its not doing anything to help Ukraine in any way and it isn't hurting the Putin Regime in any way...its hurting people who had nothing to do with the conflict at all, and who more than likely dont even support it in the first place.
i drink 24oz's of Coca-Cola every day. last year everybody on the right side of the political spectrum screamed at me to boycott Coke because of the (admittedly) racist diversity training they made their employees go through. this year everybody on the left side of the political spectrum is screaming at me to boycott Coke because they wont deny their services to Russia. know why i continue to buy Coke despite all of this?
because i like how it tastes
i dont give a fuck about your crusades, if we boycotted and denied services to everybody we disagreed with for WHATEVER reason, we'd all be living like the Unabomber. this is not a lifestyle i wish to live, and nobody is truly virtuous no matter what dumb thing you do to make it seem as if you're actually helping The Cause
and on an unrelated note...what does FA have against cryptocurrency or NFTs? apparently they dont want you promoting them here, which i understand if somebody is stealing art to sell as NFTs...but they just created COC 3.5 without giving a single explanation as to why they did this. how is this an issue? am genuinely curious to hear why they decided to make this a rule

I still draw my Russian OCs since I still like Russian planes despite the fact both Ukraine and Russia have some similar aircraft dating back to the late Soviet era and I'm even interested in their trains and some cars. I might shock people with this one, but I still listening to "Moskau" and "Rasputin" even though those two popular disco songs weren't made by Russians and I even sometimes listen to metal music made by Aria which is an actual Russian band. I don't support Putin or channel my energy all the way to the Kremlin whatsoever.

I'm still surprised that banning russian cats from those competitions didn't make Putin reconsider this war.
