      Very substantive retort. It is only the people against war that have to be paid for it. The pro war demons are all in it for love.

          I think they’re trying to say that, because they have to be paid to praise one country’s completely unprovoked invasion of another, therefore they are a better person than us, who, unpaid, say Ukraine is in the right, therefore we “love war.” It is a weird fucking flex.
