I want a study to delineate and expose anti-white maleness.

Yes I’m being sarcastic, the last thing this world needs is another anti-something or another study or academic discipline. The media, politicians, activist, academics and last but not least corporations all use PR and messaging to create the next big anti-????.
anti- Semite, anti-racist, anti-choice, anti-misogamy anti-patriarchy, anti-sexiest, anti-corporatist, and my favorite anit-poverty. 
Everyone is anti-something.

Well I’m anti-stupidity, I’m anti-anti-debate.

I’m going to go off on a jag here so bear with me. I’ve been seeing this resurgence in the narrative of Ukrainian bio-labs blah blah blah.
There is this now popular exchange where some republican congressperson catches V. Nuland without having her shit together at all regarding Ukraine having bio-labs and the fact that they are being US funded. Oh the horror! And she steps on her tongue, I was going to say d__k. Bt the misogyny would have been ripe for the picking. And all she can do is stammer and posture, and voila! Russia’s “Tweet” regarding bioweapons research going on in Ukraine is validated and became part of the American political landscape.

Where a weak attempt at disinformation by Russia and one unforced error by a US state department employee who should have been better prepared, and innuendo now is fact. Were there biological labs and research stations in Ukraine. Absolutely. Where they funded in part by the US, true. They had in fact been funded by Russia for much of the same time. As well as the USSR before that. A form of naturally occurring Plague and Anthrax is endemic in Ukraine and a bulk of that work has been to collect and monitor is changes and spread. There was also the reality of Ukraine having to deal with old cashes of USSR research and samples. I’ll leave it unsaid if those were to monitor endemic diseases or doing bio-weapons research. That matter now is mute. 

Russia knew this and Nuland blew it!
and Republicans, Trumpers, and anti-statist have been crowing about it ever since. 

Anyone who’s been here for even a short while knows that I am more than willing to chase down anything that can be remotely verified and have no hesitation in castigating any US involvement in stupid asinine behavior and actions. For example the Wuhan’s flu cover story, nature or lab origins? The laughable Bat to Pangolin jump was unsupported from the beginning. So much so that it is the butt of jokes now. So I’m not a blanket US apologist, nor am I a blanket US accuser.

Was the Russia pee pee dossier Russian disinformation and its resulting three year hunt for collusion between Trump and Russia real. No it was made up BS. It wasn’t even a “what’s your definition of sex” story.
Did Russia influence US debate and public perception with with a tweet about “biolabs found”? Sure did! Did Russia try and plant stories to help Trump? Probably, did they materially affect the election, probably not. Was there active collusion on part of the Trump campaign with Russia? Still waiting. In fact there was more interaction with Democratic operatives with Russian citizens seeking innuendo against the Trump campaign.

My irritation is that if activist, academic, media, and politicians on both sides can not even try and agree to the facts and definitions then we’re screwed. 

I’ve waited two years for some smidgen of evidence to surface that Bio-weapons or gain of function research was going on in Ukraine and it crickets still.

This is not a validation of Ukraine or the US’s bio-lab activities. 
It is a critique of the organized everything – media, academy, activist, politicians, corporations. But it’s also an indictment of the common man as well. To either be willingly gullible, or so lazy to take what ever story or tale that comes along that validates whatever it is they want to believe that in turn validates your own confirmation biases. 

Take me for example. I’ve been very clear and unequivocal regarding the West support of Ukraine. I actively supported it and I still do. But I made a crucial error in assuming that any manifestation of the West support of Ukraine would be successful. Not that it couldn’t be successful, but rather that it would be successful. This was my own confirmation bias. 
I won’t say NATO, because I don’t believe it’s fair to lump the Eastern European NATO members in this failure. They have been highly animated and involved from the beginning in speaking out against Russian and helping Ukraine in what ever way the could.
So I’ll say the West meaning the Western European nations and not particularly the US. But preeminently the US. Because after all it has always been the US’s show to run. 
It is in this failure on my part to improperly consider the support, its timeliness and sufficiency that my hopes would be proven true. Sadly at this juncture it’s not been sufficient. There simply is not the will or understanding on the part of the West to manifest this success. 
We are looking at another failure in foreign policy and aims such as Vietnam Afghanistan, and Iraq. 

I’m not without hope because hope is not hope if you give it aways to easily. But I am not optimistic. There is not the national will nor the political will to do what is necessary to drive Russia from the field in Ukraine. It simply does not exist.

 
We’ve seen a social media hashtag and emoji campaign to promote the validity and necessity to support Ukraine. But there has been no honest and logical explanation. No pertinent reason for why this fight before us is real and it is in fact our fight as well.
It’s our fight because it is supposed to be a reflections of our principles our values as a free people.
But that argument cannot safely be made in the US today. Not in a real and tangible manner. Because to do so would expose the fungible nature of freedom in America today. And that is simply too risky and dangerous of an idea to talk about in America. There isn’t even a generalized understanding of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. 
We’re no longer a constitutional people, we’re a nation of laws, politicians, lobbyist, and law firms. 

So it will be a draw, a protracted stalemate a nebulous border. Leaving it again for another generation the question of self determination for the hinterlands unanswered
