Is there a point, or is the only point to degrade the actor in some way?
I feel this is one of those situations where I can say 'You aren't wrong, but you're an asshole' if you are bringing it up without a greater reason.
I don't think the dude would be ragged on for taking advantage of the opportunity afforded to him.
The irony of the whole Azov thing is a majority of their members are ex Russians who moved to East Ukraine because Russia wasn't being Nazi enough for them.
Florida here checking in.
Our government is hard at work on this.

It's just so hard to see where we transition from here.
We went from a resource economy to a manufacturing economy to a service economy... And now many services are being automated. So what's next?
